Pieces
Dellamorte Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tried to be perfect
but nothing was worth it.
I don't believe it makes me real.
I thought it'd be easy
but no one believes me.
I meant all the things I said.
If you'd believe it's in my soul,
I'd say all the words that I know
just to see if it would show.
Now I'm trying to let you know
that I'm better off on my own.

This place is so empty.
My thoughts are so tempting.
I don't know how it got so bad.
Sometimes it's so crazy
but nothing can save me
but it's the only thing that I have.
If you'd believe it's in my soul,
I'd say all the words that I know
just to see if it would show.
Now I'm trying to let you know
that I'm better off on my own.

I tried to be perfect,
it just wasn't worth it.
Nothing could ever be so wrong.
It's hard to believe me.
It never gets easy.
I guess I knew that all along.
If you'd believe it's in my soul,
I'd say all the words that I know
just to see if it would show.




Now I'm trying to let you know
that I'm better off on my own.

I am torajan and living in australia. I've already told my son when i die just cremate me. The thought of my family has an obligation to come and visit my grave yard or going to the extreme level of taking me out of my coffin and dressing me is terrifying! I'm dead leave me alone!

@amy lazaro Hanya kuku dan kulit yang diambil, lalu dibuang di suatu tempat, tempat yang di mana, kuku, kulit dan rambut mayat di ambil di tempat itu yang akan mengeluarkan bau. (Saya orang Toraja)

I would say don't demonise these rituals.. those who want to follow these rituals should be allowed to follow.. those who dont want to should not.. these are all cultural variations which humans of various part's in earth obtained through thousands of years.. and in last few decade's semitic religions have wiped out most of the cultural variations of humans. Making humans into " one size fit for all" situation..

Very interesting Vid ! Loved it . It’s fascinating how other cultures have their traditions. It may seem morbid and creepy to most of us but it’s part of the Torajan culture and should be respected imo .

minasedition

it should be respected but definitely not encouraged tho

nisha sangwan

I think they respect the animal and save them if possible

Funny insan

Not at all respected they should be punished and taught.
