Lyrics

Death is pretty final

Expressing the finality of death

I'm collecting vinyl

Indicating a personal interest in collecting vinyl records

I'm gonna DJ at the end of the world

Expressing a desire to be a DJ at the end of the world


Cause if heaven does exist

Contemplating the existence of heaven

With a kicking play list

Referring to a desirable playlist for heaven

I don't wanna miss it at the end of the world

Expressing a reluctance to miss heaven at the end of the world


Hey steady steady

Encouraging a steady approach and readiness before facing death

Hey steady steady

-

I don't wanna go until I'm good and ready

-

Its on my mind

Reflection on thoughts and discoveries in the mind

Its in my mind

-

Its what I found

-

Its what I find

-

Its on my mind

Reiteration of thoughts and discoveries in the mind

Its in my mind

-

Its what I found

-

Its what I find

-

And I'll spin my way right through it

Describing a determined and rhythmic approach to challenges

Create an easy way jack through it

-

As I mosh up to the moon

-

As you circle the room

-

Music could provide the light you can not resist

Highlighting the power of music to provide irresistible light

You can not resist

-

You can not resist

-

And the web is getting tangled

Describing a tangled web and referencing a battle in Seattle

As you wingle and you wangle

-

When you walk up in Seattle

-

Where you fought a recent battle

-

As you enter the battle

Suggesting the importance of raising another vinyl in the battle

Let us raise another vinyl

-

Raise another vinyl

-

Raise another vinyl

-

Because death is pretty final

Repeating the connection between death, vinyl collection, and DJing

I'm collecting vinyl

-

I'm gonna DJ at the end of the world

-

Hey steady steady

Reiterating the importance of being ready before facing death

Hey steady steady

-

I don't wanna go until I'm good and ready

-

Its on my mind

Reiteration of thoughts and discoveries in the mind

Its in my mind

-

Its what I found

-

Its what I find

-

Its on my mind

-

Its in my mind

-

Its what I found

-

Its what I find

-

Hey steady steady

Emphasizing the importance of readiness before facing death

Hey steady steady

-

I don't wanna go until I'm good and ready

-

Hey steady steady

Repeating the emphasis on being ready before facing death

Hey steady steady

-

I don't wanna go until I'm good and ready

-

Music could provide the light you can not resist

Reiterating the powerful influence of music's light that cannot be resisted

You can not resist

-

You can not resist, yeah
