Life Is A Beatdown
A.D.I.M. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can't quit until you try
You can't live until you die
You can't learn to tell the truth until you learn to lie

Can't breathe until you choke
You gotta laugh when you're the joke
There's nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes and see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry at my funeral?

I know some things that you don't
I've done things that you won't
There's nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home

I was waiting for my hearse
What came next was so much worse
It took a funeral to make me feel alive

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes and see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Alive
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes and see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes and see that life is beautiful




Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Life Is A Beatdown" by ADIM are a poignant reflection on the harsh realities of life. The opening lines, "You can't quit until you try, you can't live until you die, you can't learn to tell the truth until you learn to lie," set the tone for the rest of the song. It's a reminder that we must take risks and accept failure and disappointment to truly live.


The lines "can't breathe until you choke, you gotta laugh when you're the joke" suggest that life can be overwhelming and even painful at times, but we must find the humor in it and persevere. The song takes a surprising turn when it declares, "there's nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive." This line seems paradoxical but highlights the idea that the inevitability of death can motivate us to embrace life and make the most of it.


The repeated plea to "open your eyes and see that life is beautiful" is a call to be present and appreciate the beauty around us, even in the midst of challenges. The final lines, "Will you swear on your life that no one will cry at my funeral?" drive home the idea that we should strive to live a life that positively impacts others and leaves a legacy of love and joy.
