We Die Young
Ephemeral Shadows: Unveiling the Dark Narratives in Stone Sour's 'We Die Young'
Lyrics
Scary's on the wall
Scary elements or ominous feelings are present and noticeable.
Scary's on his way
The ominous presence is approaching or imminent.
Watch where you spit
Be cautious about where you express yourself or release emotions.
I'd advise you wait until it's over
Wait for a situation to resolve before taking action; avoid unnecessary conflict.
Then you got hit
After waiting, you face consequences or negative outcomes.
And you shoulda known better
You should have been aware of the potential risks and consequences.
And we die young
A reflection on premature death or the ephemeral nature of life.
Faster we run
The faster one runs, the sooner one faces mortality.
Down, down, down you're rollin'
A descent or decline is happening, possibly in life's journey.
Watch the blood float in the muddy sewer
Observing the consequences, possibly violence, in a grim environment.
Take another hit
Taking another dose of something harmful, possibly a metaphor for self-destructive behavior.
And bury your brother
Facing the consequences of one's actions, like burying a part of oneself or dealing with the fallout of one's choices.
And we die young
Reiteration of the theme of premature death or facing consequences at a young age.
Faster we run
The swifter the pace, the quicker one encounters mortality.
Scary's on the wall
The ominous or fearful presence is still present.
Scary's on his way
The impending threat is still on its way.
Another alley trip
Another journey into a dangerous or risky situation.
Bullet seek the place to bend you over
A bullet seeks to harm or cause harm in a vulnerable position.
Then you got hit
After the risky encounter, there are negative consequences.
And you shoulda known better
Reflecting on the hindsight that better choices should have been made.
Faster we run
Emphasizing the swiftness of life and the inevitability of death.
And we die young
A repetition of the theme of premature death or facing consequences at a young age.
