Tired Of Being Alive
Danzig Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't care
If 'n' you die
Ain't got no reason to cry
Don't feel
Don't need to
Your world ain't nothing to me
I'm fear
I'm your heretic
I'm doom waiting for the number
7 up 7
To the 6 on 6
Bring it on to me

And I'm tired of being alive
Spite of the bleeding
Bleeding light
And I'm tired of their bleeding light
Don't try to feed me
Full of your lies

No regrets
To bring me no tears
Never scared of things men fear
Never easy
Never clean
To be a beast among human sheep
I am fear
I am your heretic
I am your doom
Waiting for the number
7 on 7
To the 6 on 6
Bring it on to me

And I'm tired of being alive
Spite of the bleeding
Bleeding light
And I'm tired of their bleeding light
Don't try to feed me
Full of your lies

And I'm tired of being alive
Spite of the bleeding
Bleeding light
And I'm tired of their bleeding light
Don't try to feed me
Full of your lies

Oh yeah, oh yeah
I'm tired




Tired of their bleeding
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Danzig's song "Tired of Being Alive" reflect a sense of nihilistic detachment and rebellion from societal norms. The singer is expressing a lack of empathy for others, even if they were to die. The world holds no meaning or importance to him, as he considers himself to be above and beyond it. He identifies with fear and darkness, likening himself to a heretic and a bringer of doom. He is tired of the superficial "bleeding light" of the world and the lies that people try to feed him. The singer is unapologetically himself, not interested in conforming to the expectations of society.


The repeated phrase "7 up 7 to the 6 on 6" is likely a reference to numerology or some sort of esoteric belief system. It could also represent a code or secret knowledge that separates the singer from the rest of the world. The line "beast among human sheep" further emphasizes his sense of superiority and detachment from others. Danzig is known for his dark, Gothic style and this song embodies that musical aesthetic. It's a song that appeals to those who feel misunderstood or rejected by society, and who reject the notion of living a conventional life.
