Young Enough to Die
Embracing Mortality: Rat Poison's Haunting Reflection on the Bitter Taste of Existence
Lyrics
Crawl down with me to the river
Crawling down to the river, inviting someone to join in a journey
Where I'm in charge of all our drowning
Expressing control over a situation involving drowning
We can pick a spot to watch the stars spin in agony for all time
Selecting a location to witness eternal suffering represented by spinning stars
As I'm swallowed whole by a god in the sky
Being consumed by a god in the sky, questioning the bitterness of one's essence, and pondering youth and mortality
Do I taste as bitter as I feel
-As I'm swallowed whole by a god in the sky
-Do I taste as bitter as I feel
-As I'm swallowed whole by a god in the sky
-Do I taste as bitter as I feel
-As I'm swallowed whole by a god in the sky
-Can you tell am I young enough to die
-The end is just a cliche when ya turning into worm food baby
Viewing the end as a cliché, referencing the inevitability of becoming "worm food"
And the scars you had turn into blades of grass you never get to see them tears roll down
Imagining scars transforming into unseen tears and blades of grass
The heart stops
Noting the cessation of the heart
As I'm swallowed whole by a god in the sky
Reiterating the theme of being engulfed by a god, questioning bitterness, and reflecting on the youthfulness of facing death
Do I taste as bitter as I feel
-As I'm swallowed whole by a god in the sky
-Do I taste as bitter as I feel
-As I'm swallowed whole by a god in the sky
-Do I taste as bitter as I feel
-As I'm swallowed whole by a god in the sky
-Can you tell am I young enough to die
-Don't do it
Discouraging a specific action, possibly a revival or intervention
Don't bring me back
Resisting resuscitation, expressing a desire to remain in a state free from fear
These compressions stop my heart attack
-Don't do it
-Just leave me here
-Don't want to be dragged back to the fear
-I fear a relapse
Expressing fear of a recurrence of the struggles of life
Of fucking life
