Lyrics
Count down to the minute
Expressing anticipation or a sense of urgency as time counts down.
Time keeps tickin’ away
Highlighting the continuous passage of time.
Born to lose and dying to win
Life is characterized by a pattern of losing yet striving for victory.
Is not the way I play
Rejecting conventional approaches to life and challenges.
Get the high that you’re lookin for
Searching for a euphoric experience or satisfaction.
While the world goes straight to hell
While society deteriorates, pursuing personal pleasure persists.
Die young is what they’re sayin’
Advisory message suggesting premature death, but uncertainty prevails.
But it’s too soon to tell
Challenging the notion of predicting one's fate too early.
Not dead yet
Asserting vitality and resilience despite challenges.
Don’t throw dirt on an open casket
Metaphorically discouraging premature judgments or conclusions.
Something that I said
Acknowledging past statements or actions.
You’ve written me off, but I know I’m not dead yet
Rejecting being dismissed or underestimated; affirming continued existence.
Some pray for the sinners
Reference to those who seek forgiveness for their wrongdoings.
Something’s going ‘round
Indicating a prevailing issue or challenge affecting many.
I’ll fight or go down swingin’ before
Commitment to fight or face challenges with determination.
They stick me in the ground
Resistance against succumbing to defeat or death.
Get the high that you’re going after
Reiteration of seeking personal satisfaction or fulfillment.
While the world goes straight to hell
Parallel to line 7, emphasizing the contrast between personal pursuits and a troubled world.
Live fast is what I’m hearin’

But it’s too soon to tell
Similar to line 9, emphasizing uncertainty about predicting one's future.
Not dead yet

Ready to go. Ready but not dead yet
Expressing readiness for action without implying imminent death.
Not dead yet
