Fates Worse Than Death
Navigating Existential Struggles: Fates Worse Than Death Unveiled
Lyrics
It’s gonna take you so long to leave me alone
The process of moving on from me will be lengthy for you.
It’s gonna take me so long ‘til I can get home
It will also take me a considerable amount of time to return to my place of comfort or familiarity.
I’ll be sad and can rest my head
Expressing a feeling of sadness and the need for solace.
I could speak and believe that I mean it
I had the ability to express my thoughts sincerely and genuinely.
And you will feel much better when you are twenty-five
Upon reaching the age of 25, you may feel better or more settled.
You’ll still be talking about the shitty weather
Even at that age, you might still engage in discussions about unpleasant situations.
And how hard we’ve been trying, how hard it is to stay alive
Referencing the difficulty of life and the effort required to survive.
‘Cause you were far too bored, and I was far too lonely
You were uninterested, while I felt extremely isolated and desolate.
For this conversation to work out politely
Our conversation couldn’t progress amicably due to our differing emotional states.
Megafauna walked across the continent
Referencing ancient large animals traversing a wide area, possibly symbolizing the vastness of the journey.
I guess that’s how far you get with more oxygen
Suggesting that progress or distance covered might relate to increased availability of resources.
How Kurt Vonnegut changed my life
The impact of author Kurt Vonnegut on the speaker's life.
How our perception of water affects our perception of time
How our perception of something as basic as water influences our perception of the passage of time.
And you will feel much better, when you are twenty-five
Reiterating the idea that reaching a certain age (25) might bring about a sense of improvement in emotions.
You’ll still be talking about the shitty weather
Despite age, discussions about unpleasant situations might still prevail.
And how hard we’ve been trying, how hard it is to stay alive
Restating the hardship of life and the struggle to survive.
And everyone but me must be feeling so fucking happy
Expressing the perception of others being content contrasted with the speaker’s own lack of happiness.
