If You Love Me
Boxing Gandhis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What if the sun don't rise when it's supposed to?
What if the birds stop flying?
When will the air turned thicker than water?
If you love me, why am I dying?
What if the sun don't rise when it's supposed to?
What if the birds stop flying?
When will the air turn thicker than water?
If you love me, why am I dying?

Drilling all my oil for gas to get your car to speed
Killing all gods creatures for a jacket you don't need
Making up new poisons just to throw them in the sea
Burning down the jungle so you can get your burgers cheap

What if the rain don't fall when it has to?
What if the veins start drying?
When will the sun revive like a fire?
If you love me, why am I dying?

All I see are death fields filled with natures woolen bairn
This is not the way to treat this life or death hotel
Nuking everything in sight, trying to keep the peace
Maybe if you keep this simple, teminate the lease!

What if the sun don't rise when it's supposed to?
What if the birds stop flying?
When will the air turn thicker than water?
If you love me, why am I dying?

What if the sun don't rise when it's supposed to?
What if the birds stop flying?
When will the air turn thicker than water?
If you love me, why am I dying?

What if the rain don't fall when it has to?
What if the veins start drying?
When will the sun revive like a fire?
If you love me, why am I dying?

What if the sun don't rise when it's supposed to?
What if the birds stop flying?
When will the air turn thicker than water?




If you love me, why am I dying?
Yeah

Overall Meaning

The song "If You Love Me Why Am I Dying" by Boxing Gandhis is a powerful commentary on the destructive nature of mankind on Earth. The lyrics are filled with imagery of the natural world being damaged at the hands of human beings, and the frustration of the singer who is dying as a result of this destruction. The lyrics are a call to action for listeners to take responsibility for their actions and to work to protect the natural world before it's too late.


The opening lines of the song, "What if the sun don't rise when it's supposed to? What if the birds stop flying?" serve as an introduction to the bleak picture that the song paints. The lyrics then shift to the destruction of the natural world that is caused by human beings. Boxing Gandhis sing about drilling oil for gas, killing creatures for fashion, and burning down the jungle for cheap food. These actions are shown to be harmful and selfish, with no regard for the damage they cause to nature.


The song continues with more vivid imagery of the natural world dying, such as "death fields filled with nature's woolen bairn" and "veins drying." These words create a powerful visual of the world that is being lost. The final lines of the song, "If you love me, why am I dying?" question the motives of humanity's destructive actions. It forces listeners to consider the impact of their actions and the legacy they will leave for future generations.
