Already Dead

Hollywood Undead

It's the year of the snake
Friends are overrated, so let's make no mistake
I watch from a distance while you poison the lake
A trail of ash that you leave in your wake
Knock me down, but I get back up
In the rain, I feel no pain from the cuts
Too much pain, is it ever enough?
In the rain and I'm filling my guts

You wanna hate me
You wanna try and break me
But you can't kill me
'Cause I'm already dead
You can shame me
You can try and break me down
'Cause I'm already dead

Already dead
Already dead

Here I am again at the edge of a knife
Some of us are born at the end of our lives
Wake up in a sweat in the dead of the night
I must be dreaming
I can see the end of your reign
I can feel the hate filling your veins
Watch me now as I'm breaking the chains
Leaving your whole empire in flames

You wanna hate me
You wanna try and break me
But you can't kill me
'Cause I'm already dead
You can shame me
You can try and break me down
'Cause I'm already dead
'Cause I'm already dead

Watch me now as I'm breaking the chains
Leaving your whole empire in flames
Watch me now as I'm breaking the chains
Leaving your whole empire in flames

You wanna hate me
Try to break me
But you can't kill me
'Cause I'm already dead
You can shame me
You can try and break me down
'Cause I'm already dead
'Cause I'm already dead
Dead
'Cause I'm already dead

    My Interpretation

    I tried to post the correct lyrics, but it wouldn't let me, so here they are:

    It’s the year of the snake Friends are overrated So let’s make no mistake I watch from a distance While you poison the lake A trail of ash that you leave in your wake

    Knock me down, but I get back up In the rain, I feel no pain from the cuts Too much pain, is it ever enough In the rain and I’m spilling my guts

    You wanna hate me You wanna try and break me But you can’t kill me ‘Cause I’m already dead You can shame me You can try and break me down ‘Cause I’m already dead

    Already dead Already dead

    Here I am again At the edge of a knife Some of us are born At the end of our lives Wake up in a sweat In the dead of the night I must be dreaming

    I can see the end of your reign I can feel the hate filling your veins Watch me now as I’m breaking the chains Leaving your whole empire in flames

    You wanna hate me You wanna try and break me But you can’t kill me ‘Cause I’m already dead You can shame me You can try and break me down ‘Cause I’m already dead ‘Cause I’m already dead

    Watch me now as I’m breaking the chains Leaving your whole empire in flames Watch me now as I’m breaking the chains Leaving your whole empire in flames

    You wanna hate me Try to break me But you can’t kill me ‘Cause I’m already dead You can shame me You can try and break me down ‘Cause I’m already dead ‘Cause I’m already dead.. dead ‘Cause I’m already dead…

Step
Ministry
Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
