Will I live tomorrow?
Well I just can't say
Will I live tomorrow?
Well I just can't say
But I know for sure
I don't live today

No sun comin' through my windows
Feel like I'm livin' at the bottom of a grave
No sun comin' through my windows
Feel like I'm livin' at the bottom of a grave

I wish you'd hurry up and execute me
So I can be on my miserable way

I don't, live today
Maybe tomorrow, I just can say
But a, I don't live today
It's such a shame to wast you time away like this

Well
I don't live today
Maybe tomorrow, I just can't tell you baby
But a, I don't live today
It's such a shame spending the time away like this

Yeah!!

There ain't no life no where

Overall Meaning

in this room, I'm sorry baby
There ain't no life no where in this room

Well, respectfully, let me show you
On the floor, and your clothes undone

On the floor, and your nose starts to bleed
You lose your baby, but you need it

Feel it drip upon your mind
Excuse me, but I think it's time to move on

I don't, live today
There ain't no life nowhere
I don't, live today
There ain't no life nowhere
Well, just need a little woman's love
And I'll be satisfied, yeah

"I Don't Live Today" is a Jimi Hendrix song from his second studio album, "Axis: Bold as Love", released in 1967. The song is a psychedelic rock song, that uses unique sounds, intricate lead guitar work and expressive lyrics to create a sense of despair and confusion. The song was written during a time when there was much social unrest in the United States, and the lyrics reflect this in their sense of hopelessness and uncertainty.

The composition of the song is complex, with multiple guitar parts weaving in and out of each other, creating a sense of chaos and confusion. The use of feedback and distortion throughout the song give it an otherworldly quality, adding to the psychedelic feel. Lyrically, the song deals with themes of uncertainty and despair, with the singer questioning whether he will live to see another day. The line "I wish you'd hurry up and execute me, so I can be on my miserable way" further emphasizes the sense of hopelessness and resignation present throughout the song.
