Lyrical Analysis of...
I Don't Want to Die
- [Chorus: Alfie McLoughlin]
- I don't want to die, no
- I don't want to live forever, no
- What do I do, Lord?
- What do I do?
- If I die, please let me go to heaven
- [Verse: Alfie McLoughlin]
- Psalm, I gotta remain calm
- Wear this cross round my neck like it's a lucky charm
- To make cash from music and escape the farm
- Doesn't mean I didn't like my days in the barn
- Just wanna be somewhere better, and bigger
- It took all the will in me not to pull the trigger
- I picture, a young boy afraid of being a sinner,
- Who's the winner? No one wins in war
- But I won my battle, fuck depression
- I thank the Lord, no smug expression
- But I got a question, Lord.
- What do I do, Lord?
- What must I do to survive
- I don't really want to die
- But eternity is just as much of a curse
- The gift to be born is scary, but there could be worse.
- [Chorus: Alfie McLoughlin]
- I don't want to die, no
- I don't want to live forever, no
- What do I do, Lord?
- What do I do?
- If I die, please let me go to heaven
- I'm breathing
- I'm breathing now, will I breathe in heaven?
- Must hit triple seven, make it, make it to heaven, God
- If I die, please let me go to heaven
- [Verse Two: Alfie McLoughlin]
- I hope to be remembered, hope to be better
- If I sin, I'll do more than an apology letter
- I'll get baptised, wash away what I've done
- Though the Lord forgives for what has come
- And what's to come, barrel of a gun
- Escaped that place, on the run
- Scared to go, but the Lord'll know
- I trust him with all my heart
- I trust him with all his grace
- Someday we'll know where we are
- Through the gates of Heaven, I'm sure we'll be
- Yes, we'll be, you and me, baby
- Will I get to have one last feast?
- Bread and wine, space and time
- Caught beneath burden, bills a dime
- Materialism has nothing on you, God
- But I don't want to die, God.
- [Chorus: Alfie McLoughlin]
- I don't want to die, no
- I don't want to live forever, no
- What do I do, Lord?
- What do I do?
- If I die, please let me go to heaven
- I'm breathing
- I'm breathing now, will I breathe in heaven?
- Must hit triple seven, make it, make it to heaven, God
- If I die, please let me go to heaven
- [Verse Three: Isaiah Ibushi]
- Blessed me good, blessed me right
- Blessed me gorgeous, blessed me light,
- Blessed me good things, blessed me bright
- Blessed me hardships, blessed me fright
- I just know it gon' be right
- I just know it gon' be alright
- We don't have to stay this night
- We don't have to sit and fight
- 'Til the faithful and fateful night
- God will lead me to the light
- [Outro: Isaiah Ibushi]
- I don't want to see the gates
- But I'll do such before it's late
- With open arms, for burdens sake
- A gift only God could make
- In all his glory, all his grace
- It's too late to save face
- Judgement Day, I'll see the gates
- To right through right heaven, yeah, OK
- To the God's garden, yeah, OK
- Let it live, let us shine
- Let our souls be divine
- Let us be, let us rhyme
- Heaven's waiting past your prime
- And I feel fine
- And I feel fine
- And I feel fine
- Oh Lord, I feel fine
