27 Club
Adore Delano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of the curses with death
My life is falling into temporary sin
Cluster of roses and babies breath
I been trying and I been buying
And I've been lying and I've been crying
And that's how I know
All of the legends
Die at twenty seven
They all went to heaven
All of the legends
All of the legends
Since I was eleven
All went to heaven
All of the legends
I been trying and I been buying
And I've been lying and I've been crying
And that's how I know
That I don't wanna go
All of his dreams
Are in the fast lane scene
These habits go so fast, he can't see
Baby lost his mind
Nobody gives in time
The drugs are worth it
Or so it seems
I been trying and I been buying
And I've been lying and I've been crying
And that's how I know
All of the legends
Die at twenty seven
They all went to heaven
All of the legends
All of the legends
Since I was eleven
All went to heaven
All of the legends
I been trying and I been buying
And I've been lying and I've been crying
And that's how I know
That I don't wanna go
Can't be a part of the broken apart
Don't wanna know what my mom would say
Nobody left in this town
Stuck with this permanent frown
I'm ending all of this right now today
I been trying and I been buying
And I've been lying and I've been crying
And that's how I know
That I don't wanna go
All of the legends
Die at twenty seven
They all went to heaven
All of the legends
All of the legends
Since I was eleven
All went to heaven
All of the legends
I been trying and I been buying
And I've been lying and I've been crying
And that's how I know
"27 Club" is a song by Adore Delano which talks about the idea of the '27 Club', a group of musicians who died at the age of 27. Delano expresses her fears about being part of this group and not wanting to end up like one of the legendary musicians who died young. The song starts with Delano saying she doesn't want to be part of the scene she has heard about, which is surrounded by death curses. She then talks about how her life is filled with temporary sin, which is represented by a cluster of roses and babies breath.
The lyrics talk about how she has been trying, buying, lying and crying. This is representative of the struggles and temptations that she faces as a musician. Delano then looks at the history of rock music and realizes that all of the legends have died at the age of twenty-seven. She repeats the phrase 'All of the legends' several times, emphasizing the fact that these are not just musicians, but legends who achieved fame and success in their careers.
Delano wonders whether the fast lane scene is worth it or not as the drugs take away one's mind. She goes on to say that nobody gives in time and their lives are ultimately snatched away from them. The chorus is repeated several times, as the songstress delves deeper into her fears of joining the '27 Club'. In the end, Delano resolves to end it all right then and there, indicating her desire to not become part of this group.
