Rather Be Dead
Embracing Desolation: The Heartfelt Journey of The Revolvers' 'Rather Be Dead'
Lyrics
My life is a dead end street
Feeling stuck in life with no promising prospects ahead.
There's no cause for turning back
There's no reason to reconsider or change the current situation.
I am out of luck all over again
Continuously facing misfortune or bad luck.
Born to lose tatooed on my neck
Feeling destined for failure, as if it's ingrained in one's identity.
I don't care what you're thinking of me
Indifference towards others' opinions about oneself.
'Cause I know we will rot in hell
Belief in an inevitable damnation or punishment in the afterlife.
Don't ask me, "How are you doing today?"
Unwillingness to engage in polite conversation about personal well-being.
'Cause the answer will be not well
Consistently feeling unwell or unhappy.
Ain't got no girl or have many friends
Lacking romantic relationships or a substantial social circle.
Lost my money at a gambling place
Lost money due to gambling, indicating a pattern of risky behavior.
Drinking too much, every day's the same
Alcohol abuse and a monotonous, unfulfilling daily routine.
I cannot look into my ugly face
Struggling with self-image and feeling repulsed by one's appearance.
I don't care what you're thinking of me
Indifference towards others' opinions about oneself (repeated).
'Cause I know we will rot in hell
Belief in an inevitable damnation or punishment in the afterlife (repeated).
Don't ask me, "How are you doing today?"
Unwillingness to engage in polite conversation about personal well-being (repeated).
'Cause the answer will be not well
Consistently feeling unwell or unhappy (repeated).
I'd rather be dead, let's go to hell
Expresses a preference for death over the current miserable state of existence.
It's not hard to understand, plain to see
States that the desire to die is evident and easily understandable.
I am the loser in the end
Acceptance of being a perpetual failure or loser.
There's no way to escape from all this
Feeling trapped with no means of escaping constant misfortune.
Bad luck is waiting and no place to hide
Expectation of encountering more bad luck with no way to avoid it.
I'm a burnout on a rainy day
Feeling emotionally drained and exhausted, especially on a gloomy day.
Somebody there who wants to kill me tonight
Paranoia or fear of someone seeking to harm or kill.
I don't care what you say about me
Disregard for others' opinions about oneself.
My life's for sale, I'm gonna burn in hell
Feeling like life is expendable and heading towards damnation (repeated).
And if tomorrow doesn't come anymore
Expressing contentment or acceptance if life were to end.
For me it would be just as well
Indifference towards the continuation of life.
I'd rather be dead, let's go to hell
Reiteration of the preference for death over the current state of life.
It's not hard to understand, plain to see
Stating that the desire to die is evident and easily understandable (repeated).
I am the loser in the end
Acceptance of being a perpetual failure or loser (repeated).
