about

I remember writing this song in the summer and decided to write a cheesy Pop Punk song about some dude and his girlfriend leaving him and how bummed out he becomes after that. I was talking to someone at the time who said I should write something new and not the same old shit and being "childish all your life"...like the meaning of life or something, and I decided to incorporate the first verse I had written with the second verse that was about someone losing their job, most likely the same dude. Then I just started writing about shit I was thinking about at the time, reincarnation and shit and then the chorus was just really depressing, hence the title.

lyrics

The Living Corpses

Verse 1

The last thing she said
felt like a bullet going straight through my head
When she broke up
it felt like poison was blend in my cup
How do I know
exactly where I should go?

Chorus

I don't know the reason why
I'm living here
Life used to have a meaning
But I feel it disappeared
Explanation for alienation
Happiness in denial
Life is filled with death
Corpses look so alive


Verse 2

The boss said that I
was fired, no reason why
When I got kicked out
I started wondering what life was about
Why can't I see
I'll never find the answer to life's mystery

Bridge

I don't understand
my mystery
Am I second hand?
Was I someone else before me?
Maybe I'm stupid
No lesson learned
The world hasn't stopped
It has always turned around
