R.I.P
D.J. Screw & The Screwed Up Click Lyrics

We're saying RIP to everyone we know
We are mourning the deaths of all those we were acquainted with

Our glass is now half empty
Our outlook on life has become pessimistic after suffering loss

But the tears will overflow
Our grief is consuming and our tears cannot be contained

And still we're screaming
Despite our grief, we are still vocalizing our sorrow

RIP to everyone we love
We are mourning the loss of everyone we cared for deeply

Is everyone below mad at
Are the dead upset with those who are alive?

Everyone above?
Are the living responsible for the deaths of the deceased?

This is the valley where animals live
Referring to the difficulty of life in a rough environment

Stresses like wind to a man on a bridge
Adversity carried by someone about to plummet to their death

Stand on the edge with the city below
Being on the brink of disaster with everything you love within sight

Below the city is 60 below
The darkness below is deeper than one can imagine

Is he alone? Is he a shadow?
Questions about the identity and solitude of a person

And will he be home in the minute of battle?
Wondering if someone will be present during their greatest struggle

He's roaming of vandal
A troubled soul without direction and causing chaos

No roman candles lit on the night that he died
No celebration or joy on the night of a traumatic event

Let it be I
I would rather be the one who passed away

Should've been me in his place
They believe that they should be the one to have passed away

Scared as I stare in the face of his mother
Afraid of facing the grieving mother of the deceased

In case I discover the fear in the fate
Fearful of discovering their own inevitable demise

My brother I sent another prayer into space
Sending hopeful wishes to the heavens for a lost loved one

Rest in peace to Prince and Thief
Paying homage to those who have passed away

Can we speak to
Is it possible to communicate with

Ghosts?
The spirits of the deceased

Cold is the hand on the angel of death
Death is often depicted as a cold and heartless entity

Drawing you to it's embrace
Death is inviting its victim into its clutches

From a caress
Death is often a release from pain and suffering

Reducing to strangle your neck
Death can come suddenly and violently

Pulling into and from grace
Referring to the idea of being pulled towards heaven but also away from earthly pleasures

This is your fate
Death is an inevitable conclusion for all human beings

Stare into the eyes of your sin
Confronting one's own wrongdoing and the consequences of those actions

Every morning you begin
Starting each day with the weight of past mistakes on one's shoulders

Who are your family?
Questioning the importance of one's familial relationships

Who are your friends?
Questioning the importance of one's friendships

Lost in the culprit of needles and pins
Trapped in drug addiction and the accompanying pain

Tommy was itchin'
A reference to the intense desire to use drugs

The fix in the kitchen
Finding solace in drug use at home

He made a decision
The choice to indulge in drugs was a personal one

He wanted to scratch
The unbearable desire to use drugs is overwhelming

Chasing the dragon
The pursuit of the initial drug high

But facing the dragon
Confronting the reality of drug addiction

Is not really something
Drug addiction is not something to be taken lightly

He wanted to catch
Desperate for relief from the pain of addiction

But he finally did
Tommy ultimately lost his battle with addiction

I wonder
Contemplating what might have been

Did he try to repent?
Did Tommy seek redemption before his death?

As life slipped from his eyes
Tommy's life came to an end

Scratching
A reference to the physical sensation of drug addiction

We still love you
Even in death, love remains

We will miss you
Acknowledging the immense loss

Is it blissful?
Is there peace in death?

Eric, My cousin
Addressing the loss of a family member

I call to your spirit!
Reaching out to the deceased loved one

Answer!
Hopeful that the deceased will respond

I know you can hear it!
Believing that the deceased is listening

I conjure your soul with these lyrics!
Using music as a medium to connect with the dead

Manifest some kind of appearance!
Desiring a sign or appearance from the deceased

Scare us
Willing to face the unknown

I don't even care
Desperate for any connection with the deceased

It's better then just wondering
The unknown is more difficult to bear than any truth

Where it was that you were carried
Questioning the details surrounding the death and afterlife of a loved one

I helped carry you physically to be buried
Acknowledging the physical loss of a loved one

But the rest, every individual varies
The grieving process is different for everyone

[Chorus]
Reiterating the song's main theme of mourning and loss
