So what is the ‘Art of Dying’?
It’s how you live your life, how you embrace it, and what you do with your time while you're here. It’s your life to live, and that's exactly what Art of Dying is doing.
Get Through This
Art of Dying Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So says that mirror
It's hard to find divinity
When you're the king of men
If I can get through this
I can get through anything
If I can make it through this
If I can get through this
I can get through anything
If I can make it through this
I promise you, I promise you
It could be much worse, yeah
But the call is close
Tomorrow's my reason
For today to let go
If I can get through this
I can get through anything
If I can make it through this
I can get through anything
If I can get through this
I can get through anything
If I can make it through this
I promise you, I promise you
With every once of ? yeah
And I will find the truth
Hey yeah
If I can get through this
I can get through that
If you cut me wide open
I can cut you some slack
If you come when I'm leaving
I might never be back
I know it's not easy
It's matter of fact
If I can get through this
I can get through that
If you cut me wide open
I can cut you some slack
If you come when I'm leaving
I might never be back
I know it's not easy
It's matter of fact
Yeah
If I can get through this
I can get through anything
If I can make it through this
(Oh I can get through)
If I can get through this
I can get through that
If you cut me wide open
I can cut you some slack
If you come when I'm leaving
I might never be back
I know it's not easy
I can get through
In the beginning of the song, we find the singer in a difficult place. The mirror shows that he has seen better days and it’s hard for him to find his place in the world when he feels like he is the king of men. The line “It’s hard to find divinity when you’re the king of men” is noteworthy, as it’s a way of saying it’s hard to feel like you’re a part of something bigger than yourself when you are consumed by ego and personal issues. However, the singer believes that if he can get through the tough times, he can get through anything. He’s hoping that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that he can come out on the other side a stronger person.
The chorus of the song is repeated several times throughout the song, emphasizing the point that if the singer can make it through this one particular tough time in his life, he can make it through anything. He wants to assure himself, and the audience, that he’s not a quitter, and that he can push through whatever is thrown his way. The lines “With every ounce of hope, yeah, and I will find the truth” show that the singer is willing to keep searching for the truth and to not give up hope, even when things seem impossible.
Overall, the song is about hope and perseverance. No matter how difficult times can get, the singer believes that if he can make it through this one particular rough patch in his life, he can make it through anything. He understands that it may not be easy, but he is committed to pushing through and finding the light at the end of the tunnel.

Stay clean, stay ok..I am an alcoholic..I'm only 25, but I already lost everyone I was caring about due to depression and anxiety. I really want to prove them wrong, that I can achieve more they ever wanted.. I want to break my country's record in half-marathoon (unbeated since 2000, the man who set this record died in car accident in 2005), and show them how big I am... Couple days ago I just did 30 km in almost 2 hours... And I am not in a right form.. But I am struggling with pain of my muscles right now; i did too much right now.. I really want the world and the ones that left me in my worst know, how much I can take, and how strong I am, but right now.. I am just praying to the void for health to come back to training. I have about 100 days to make myself a beast. Lets Go!
