Lyrics
I'm not afraid to die
I am not afraid of dying.
I've had my time
I have lived through my allotted time.
And I always tried
I consistently made an effort.
(Yeah yeah and I always tried)
I made an effort, emphasized.
I was there
I was present.
Just pulled up a chair
I took a seat or got comfortable.
But they made me swear
Others made me promise or vow.
I don't think it's fair
I perceive the situation as unjust.
I'll go with capital punishment if they let me do it
I would accept capital punishment if allowed.
My life's done there's not much left to it
My life feels complete or fulfilled.
I'm satisfied I just want to choose it
I am content and want to have a say in my fate.
I see no reason why
I see no reason for certain circumstances.
My hands are tied
I feel restricted or unable to act.
And I can't control my life
I lack control over my life's direction.
(why can't I control my life)
Questioning the lack of control over life.
But still I'm not afraid to die
Reiteration of not fearing death.
I've had my time
I have lived my life's duration.
(I had my time)
Emphasizing completion of one's time.
And I always tried
Consistently made an effort, emphasized.
(And I always tried)
Emphasizing consistent effort.
I'll go with capital punishment if they let me do it
Reiteration of willingness to accept capital punishment.
My life's done there's not much left to it
Feeling life has reached its conclusion.
I'm satisfied I just want to choose it
Contentment with life's journey.
I don't know if there's a man upstairs but there might
Uncertainty about the existence of a higher power.
And if there is I'll let him know you said hi
If a higher power exists, conveying greetings.
Cause if he's there you'll never see him
Suggesting that the higher power remains unseen.
Least if he's got any kind of reason
Hoping for reason or logic in the higher power's actions.
But you don't know why
Questioning lack of understanding.
When I got there I couldn't believe my eyes
Expressing disbelief upon arrival at a certain place.
And he laughed when I let him know you said hi
Humorous reaction to conveying greetings to the higher power.
Cause you thought you were right
Belief in one's righteousness despite not trying.
Just because you were his biggest fan and I never even tried
Comparing devotion to a higher power with lack of effort.
One two
Counting or rhythmic emphasis.
One two three four
Rhythmic emphasis.
I
Self-assertion or affirmation.
I think I'll be alright
Expressing confidence in personal well-being.
Yeah I think I'll be just fine
Belief in personal ability to manage.
Do you know why
Posing a rhetorical question about confidence.
(Cause my)
Reiteration of personal feeling or state.
My eyes shine bright
Feeling a strong positive emotion.
Yeah I feel the might
Experiencing a sense of power or strength.
I think my chance is high
Belief in the likelihood of transformation or enlightenment.
Of becoming light
Hopeful about transcending to a higher state.
Alright
Expressing affirmation or agreement.
