27 Club
Dennis Lloyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time of my life but it felt like a nightmare
Wondering who am I? Who am I?
Couldn't even recognize my own eyes, yeah
Hard to find the truth when you know that it ain't there
See, they're talking about me, chasing dreams and I caught 'em
And everything that I wanted I had to let go
But I'm just counting the blessings, I wouldn't change it, no
I can finally say
For the first time in my life
I'm not afraid to die, no, no, 'cause I've lived
Lived, lived
For the first time in my life
I'm not afraid to die, no, no, 'cause I've lived
Lived, lived
I can finally say
Had to walk away from a game that I couldn't win
27 club, no, it ain't what I'm chasing
Looking for another high, a better high
And another state of mind, and sunlight, yeah
I don't wanna go but I ain't scared
See, they're talking about me, chasing dreams and I caught 'em
And everything that I wanted I had to let go
I've had so many questions and I've learned so many lessons
But I'm just counting the blessings, I wouldn't change it, no
I can finally say
For the first time in my life
I'm not afraid to die, no, no, 'cause I've lived
Lived, lived
For the first time in my life
I'm not afraid to die, no, no, 'cause I've lived
Lived, lived
I can finally say

They felt trapped in a cycle of pursuing dreams, only to let them go and face disappointment. However, despite the challenges and unanswered questions, they learned valuable lessons and found solace in counting their blessings.

84 Comments, i hope you read this before its too late
I know you're singing "27 Club, no, it ain't what I'm chasing......."
So everyone thinks oh okay, he won't do it BUT... "I don't wanna go but I ain't scared"
So, please if you don't wanna go, then don't go.
I may think to far by this, but most peoples can't see if they didn't feel the same.
I've been there many times, there's always a better way out.
I know you won't do it but: If you need someone who's not in that "Glammour world, or a cringe fan" to talk,
Write me a message so i'll send you my mobile.
Stay strong, not for us, not for your friends or family. Do it for you...
