Chariot of Serpents
Chariot of Serpents: Navigating Life's Abyss with Noah Nolastname
Lyrics
Death is a pervert he likes them young
Reflection on the morbid nature of death, suggesting an attraction to youth.
Wonder if his salary's commission based
Speculation about Death's motives, questioning if there's a reward system.
I didn't realize I was bleeding till I was face down in the snow
Realization of a personal crisis, symbolized by bleeding and collapse in the snow.
If the good die young that's all good by me
Indifference to the notion that virtuous individuals die young.
Steve Irwin was forty four when he went to heaven
Reference to Steve Irwin's age at death, contemplating mortality.
Tupac was twenty five and Kurt was twenty seven
Noting the ages of Tupac and Kurt Cobain at their deaths, pondering life's brevity.
Jesus was thirty three
Highlighting Jesus' age at death, drawing parallels with significant figures.
I'd be a legend if I died at nineteen
Expressing a desire for legendary status through early death.
People saying it's a shame but that's the price of going out on top
Acceptance of the consequences of living life to the fullest.
To the people who want me dead
A defiant stance against potential threats on the speaker's life.
They'll have to get in line
Asserting resilience against threats, emphasizing a determined stance.
Cuz I'm not leaving this Earth until a chariot of serpents takes me home
Commitment to remaining on Earth until an extraordinary event, like a chariot of serpents, takes the speaker away.
A chariot of serpents
Reiteration of the chariot of serpents as a symbolic means of departure.
Come to carry me home
Invoking the image of serpents carrying the speaker home, possibly referring to a transcendent experience.
If I killed myself would my dad blame himself for not noticing the signs
Exploring the potential aftermath of the speaker's suicide on familial relationships.
If I killed myself would my church blame the radio and the music of the times
Speculating on the reaction of the speaker's religious community to a suicidal act influenced by contemporary music.
Guessing how long it'd take for my girlfriend to start dating again
Contemplating the speed at which a significant other might move on after the speaker's death.
I know never is kind of unreasonable but if I had a vote that'd be mine
Expressing a desire for immortality by voting against the inevitability of death.
The news would spread like Islam
Anticipating the spread of news about the speaker's death with a simile involving Islam.
Might get my own telethon
Envisioning the potential media coverage and public response to the speaker's demise.
But soon you'll be just a dead body twelve feet in dirt
Visualizing the inevitable outcome of death, with the body laid to rest in the earth.
