Living Is A Problem Because Everything D... Lyrics
Come on baby do you,
think it's good to feel,
like I'm lying here,
swimming in memories.

I fear God because everything dies babe,
got a gun in the back of my Car.
This spasm of good sense is making my eyes twitch,
I've had enough on your consulations.
I'm drowning caught in a shit tide,
take my face to the inside of Love,
nothing to eat but fears in the back seat
well I met God he had nothing to say to me.

I pray to God,
that you're right before my eyes,
bathed in White light,
with Halos in your eyes.

Don't wanna waste no more time,
time's what we don't have.
Everywhere I look someone Dies,
wonder when it's my turn.

Hello do you know me,
leave an open door,
what you're looking for,
baby when you come down, come down.
I built a time machine to escape from,
all the pain in the back on my car.
Living's a problem 'cos everything dies babe,
save yourself we're not too far away.

I pray to God,
that you're right before my eyes,
bathed in White light,
with Halos in your eyes.

Don't wanna waste no more time,
time's what we don't have.
Everywhere I look someone Dies,
wonder when it's my turn.

I pray to God,
that you're right before my eyes,
bathed in White light,
with Halos in your eyes.

Don't wanna waste no more time,
time's what we don't have.
Everywhere I look someone Dies,
wonder when it's my turn.

Great song, but I can't help feeling some of the lyrics are just...weak, and nowhere near as poetic as his older stuff..

For Example:

"wonder when it's my turn."

It's just seems tacky to me...

However, this stanza:

"I pray to God,
that you're right before my eyes,
bathed in White light,
with Halos in your eyes."

Is up there with All the Way Down and Toys, Toys, Toys as some of his best lyrics.

it's obviously about the death of his mother aswell, just to give my 2 cents on the songs meaning.

This song is about Simon Neil's mum, who died shortly before the band went into the studio to write the new album..
"I pray to God,
that you're right before my eyes,
bathed in White light,
with Halos in your eyes.", is in reference to her..

It's also about losing your faith in God ("I met God and he had nothing to say to me") after losing a loved one in such a manner.

The voices of the choir send a chill down my spine when i listen to it, and when you know what the words are about they suddenly seem alot less tacky... awesome song..
I now want this played at my funeral when i die lol =)

i want placebos cover of Running Up That Hill for my funeral.

Anyway, i love this song, the intro on the album is immense, since on the radio they start with the choir. One of my faves off of puzzle i reckon, along with Machines... he really has written some beautiful words using his mother as inspiration.

sorry i think most of u have got the wrong meaning. It's about not wanting to waste your life, but about having no idea where to turn and suddenly being aware of your own mortality. it not particularly relating too his mum. btw AMAZING song. its soo relating to how i'm feeling right now. brilliant

What an incredible song. Cant believe there's only 9 replies. Its about his mum and all that I guess, but also the fraility and false pretenses that religion can endure.

yeah i agree its about not wanting to waste your life but i also see it as a pretty angry song... like he's angry at God.

Basically, this is the only half decent track on the new album. I'm very disapointed as I am a huge fan of the previous albums. I also agree with what Rodders said the lyrics are qite weak on this song.
I do love Biffy though. A s much as I dislike the rest of the album, I do quite like this track.

This song introduced me to Biffy and wow..what an epic song it is. Still one of my favorites after listening to the other albums. I think The Vertigo of Bliss and Infinity Land are better than Puzzle, but that doesn't mean Puzzle is a bad album. Im struggling to find a song they've done that i don't like.

This song is awethome.. I thinks it about accepting that EVERYTHING will die eventually and finding consolation in some way... like bargaining with God:
I pray to God,
that you're right before my eyes,
bathed in White light,
with Halos in your eyes.

Bat thats just MY theory x]

I met God and he had nothing to say to me.

i find that to be such a powerful line, and i love the venom that neil spits when he sings it.
