Death Next Door
Club Decease Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hanging from words tongues can't speak
Will you be waiting for never?
Well, I won't count on you
Won't you forget to breathe?
When skies were open to the sea
Will you be waiting for never?
Will you take me to your heaven?
Ending grace with the prayers of saints
Will you take me to your heaven?
Sever ties with eternity
Will you take me to your heaven?
Ending grace with the prayers of saints
Will you take me to your heaven?
Ending grace with the prayers of saints
Will you take me to your heaven?
Sever ties with eternity
The song "Death Next Door" by Club Decease is a hauntingly beautiful and melancholic piece that deals with the themes of death and afterlife. The lyrics can be interpreted in multiple ways, but the central theme seems to be the fear of being forgotten after death. The opening lines, "Will you remember me? Hanging from words tongues can't speak," suggest that the singer is worried that their memory will fade away over time, that their accomplishments and existence will be lost in the vastness of infinity. The following line, "Will you be waiting for never?" indicates the disparity between the singer's expectations and reality, hinting at the futility of waiting for something that will never happen.
The second stanza continues in a similar vein, with the lines "Won't you forget to breathe? When skies were open to the sea" invoking images of a time long gone, a time where everything was possible, and the world was a vast and wondrous place. However, the following line, "Well, I won't count on you," seems to acknowledge the fact that people are unreliable, and that it's foolish to count on them, especially when it comes to transcendent matters such as the afterlife.
The chorus, "Will you take me to your heaven? Ending grace with the prayers of saints. Sever ties with eternity," can be interpreted in several ways. It could be a plea to a higher power, asking to be taken to heaven and granted eternal life. It could also be a desperate cry for help, a final request for someone to remember and acknowledge the singer's existence. And finally, it could be a nihilistic statement, a resigned acceptance that life is fleeting and ultimately meaningless, and that there is no hope for transcendence or salvation.
Overall, "Death Next Door" is a complex and layered piece of music that invites multiple interpretations. It's a song about death, loss, and the fear of being forgotten, but it's also about the resilience of the human spirit, about the power of music to transcend the limitations of the mortal world and connect us with something greater than ourselves.

Some of them were crying when they made these videos. They were scared, but were so passive as people, they would not stand up and say “No, I want to live.” How could someone be that unwilling to save their own life? It’s scary.
@MarinaAndTheDevil
That’s so heartbreaking. Hopefully people nowadays start to learn to built their own independent power.
@SARAH-qx8yi
Sometimes, the most sensitive souls, and hearts. Get to that point. I been there many times myself.
@sainzalonso
How could you judge these people without being on their shoes? Its petty.
@arynrowland862
@Arcanjo Miguel I’m not judging them, but most humans have an instinct that tells them “Dying is bad, we don’t want that.” These people took their own lives when it is clear to me some of them didn’t want to. I’m wondering why. What happened to their human instinct, their will to live?
@drew2fast489
@Aryn Rowland Exactly! They freely did this dumb shyt.
@moshpitbull2284
Lady stating that she couldn’t be happier doing what she was about to do while she’s obviously upset and distraught.
@calisongbird
Yeah, that was incredibly disturbing
@ferb3447
She was not upset, she was emotional because she was truly happy for everything Ti and Do had taught them, and truly happy to meet Ti again.
