And as for falling in love, it could be with death, or with living dangerously, which is essentially "flirting with death" if we want to personify Death. So what does the song do? It gives us examples of the types of characters the singer is associated with, images of life so to speak. The purpose of lyrics is to "show," rather than "tell". I don't think this song goes out of its way to make a point or send a message, and that's part of why it is such a great song. General CommentThis song says a lot without forcing it. My friend's bro was a fucking kurt kobain and he died by drug abuse :( Make music but don't do heroin its not fun. In my town some kids are dying of heroin abuse. That is pouring like an avalanche, coming down the mountain (but they will died in this so its like what's the point?) Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain (live like there's no tomorrow, fountains symbolize eternity) Some will die in hot pursuit while sifting through my ashes (sifting through ashes may imply inheriting money) Some will die in hot pursuit in fiery auto crashes (i better slow the fuck down in my car!) This song is based on sick people seriously. He didn't break a leg (make it with his talent) he lost his leg (lost his life and talent) Hit on a white woman or whistled at her and thats why he died, he was traveling at the time.
Tommy is a true story of a black boy who died by some white supremacists it was a famous story he played the piano good The facial scar is a supremacist thing and they were killing people in texas

You never know just how to look through other people's eyes (they don't know themselves so they do what they think other people think they should do themselves) I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes (sexual innuendo!!)Ĭinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies (another sexual innuendo) I don't mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows (people look at the sun are dumb it blinds them, but they do it anyway)
That was pouring like an avalance coming down the mountian While it should have been a better shot he got him in the head Paulie caught a bullet but it only hit his leg They were all in love with dying they were doin' it in Texas Then there was the ever-present football player rapist That is pouring like and avalance coming down the mountianĪnother Mikey took a knife while arguing in trafficįlipper died a natural death he caught a nasty virus Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain
Some will die in hot pursuit while sifting through my ashes Some will die in hot pursuit and firey auto crashes You never know just how you look through other people's eyes I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothesĬinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies I don't mind the sun sometimes the images it shows That is pouring like an avalance coming down the mountian They were all in love with dying they were drinkin' from a fountian Then he lost his leg in Dallas he was dancin' with the train Tommy played piano like a kid out in the rain They were all in love dying they were doin' it in Texas Mikey had a facial scar and Bobby was a racist She was sharin' Sharon's outlook on the topic of disease
