Body Bag
I Prevail Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But everybody's leaving in a body bag, go
Save your problems for somebody else who gives a damn
'Cause you won't find me waiting on your promised land, no
Oh, you think you've got it bad?
I'm telling you to bite down and face it
You're never gonna do much or change shit
When all you say is "Fuck that and fuck this"
Don't let them save you from yourself
Lights out, embrace it
Your heart is beating faster, it's racing
So you go on and on and on and on
Oh my god, just shut your fucking mouth
Bring it down
Only one of us gets through
Two in, one out, and it's not you
Run for your life
There's nothing you can do
Necks snap when I show up
I say one word and it blows up
Run for your life
I'm taking what's mine and your time has come
I'm telling you to bite down and face it
You're never gonna do much or change shit
When all you say is "Fuck that and fuck this"
Don't let them save you from yourself
Lights out, embrace it
Your heart is beating faster, it's racing
So you go on and on and on and on
Oh my god, just shut your fucking mouth
There'll be no second coming
There'll be no lessons learned
All hail the king of nothing
Behold your empire of dirt, fuck
Behold your empire of dirt
So tell me what it's like at the bottom
Bodies stackin' up and you're soon to be forgotten
I gave you what you wanted, got the whole world watching
Just to see me drive the last nail in the coffin, yeah (all hail)
There'll be no second coming (all hail)
All hail the king of nothing
You think you've got it bad?
Well, you're leaving in a body bag
I'm telling you to bite down and face it
You're never gonna do much or change shit
When all you say is "Fuck that and fuck this"
Don't let them save you from yourself
Lights out, embrace it
Your heart is beating faster, it's racing
So you go on and on and on and on
Oh my god, just shut your fucking mouth
There's a million fucking reasons that you got it bad
But everybody's leaving in a body bag
The lyrics of I Prevail's song "Body Bag" are unapologetically aggressive and confrontational. The opening lines, "There's a million fucking reasons that you got it bad, but everybody's leaving in a body bag," set the tone for the rest of the song. The message seems to be directed at someone who thinks they have it bad, but the world is harsh and unforgiving, and no one is spared from tough times. The “body bag” represents the inevitability of death and the reality that no one is invincible.
The chorus of the song pushes the listener to accept and face their problems head-on, rather than running away from them or blaming others. The lines "Don't let them save you from yourself, lights out, embrace it" encourage individuals to confront their struggles and be their own savior. The chorus ends with the line “oh my god, just shut your fucking mouth,” which portrays a sense of frustration towards those who talk but do not take action to change their situation.
Overall, "Body Bag" is a song about confronting the hard truths of reality, taking responsibility for one's actions, and facing adversity head-on. The message of the song is clear: life is not easy, but running away from problems or blaming others won't solve anything. One must confront their struggles and take action to overcome them.

Everything you've built will eventually turn to dust and be forgotten
So tell me what it's like at the bottom
I want to know how it feels to hit rock bottom
Bodies stackin' up and you're soon to be forgotten
People are dying and being forgotten, and you will be one of them
I gave you what you wanted, got the whole world watching
I gave you what you asked for, and now everyone is watching your downfall
Just to see me drive the last nail in the coffin, yeah (all hail)
People are waiting for your ultimate demise, which will signify your powerlessness
Well, you're leaving in a body bag
Everyone dies, and you will be no exception
