Another year like that and we'd all be dead
FLØRE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I did not come home for Christmas
Don't waste your birthday wishes on me
Twenty-something
And all I know is I know nothing
Sold my soul for fun
And my heart at a high price
We fall in love with feeling wrong
No need to make it right

Wake me up when it's over

When will my life begin?
No one taught me how to be human
I hurt the ones I love the most
Cause I'm scared of being left alone
I don't wanna live forever, but say
How do I survive one fucking day
I am still chasing a dream
Which I know is going to kill me
Sometimes the most beautiful things
Make you the most lonely

The same city
But we live planets apart
Set fire to the places
We grew up, light it up before it gets dark

Wake me up when it's over

When will my life begin?
No one taught me how to be human
I hurt the ones I love the most
Cause I'm scared of being left alone
I don't wanna live forever, but say
How do I survive one fucking day
There's a panic at my heart
And no one's at the disco
Under the final moon, we dance till we're

- Gone, welcome to the end
Let's be together alone
Oh, and in a perfect storm
I might have lost my home
Would you take me home?
Could you be my home?

When will my life begin?
Did you figure out how to be human?
I kill myself and eat my friends
I live to destroy everything
You're scared to live if you're scared to die
Something irreplaceable breaks inside
When growing up means to survive




Life's a game and no one makes it out alive
Another year like that, and we'd all be dead

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to FLØRE's song "Another year like that" delve into themes of personal struggle, loneliness, and the fear of growing up. The singer expresses their detachment from traditional holiday celebrations, refusing to come home for Christmas and rejecting birthday wishes. Being in their twenties, they admit to not knowing much about life and having sold their soul and heart for temporary thrills. They find solace in the familiarity of feeling wrong and see no need to make things right.


The chorus, "Wake me up when it's over," suggests a sense of disillusionment and a desire to escape the difficulties of life. The singer wonders when their life will truly begin and reflects on the lack of guidance they received on how to be human. They acknowledge hurting the people they love most, driven by a fear of being left alone.


The lyrics also touch on the dichotomy between being surrounded by others in the same city yet feeling worlds apart. They metaphorically set fire to the places of their past, symbolizing a desire to leave their upbringing and find something different. The darkness that looms as night approaches further emphasizes a feeling of impending doom.


In the final part of the song, the singer questions when their life will truly begin and wonders if they have figured out how to be human. They express self-destructive tendencies and a willingness to destroy everything, including themselves. The fear of living and dying is juxtaposed, suggesting that one cannot truly live if they are too afraid to face death. The lyrics conclude by emphasizing the bleakness of the current situation, hinting at the destructive nature of existence.


Line by Line Meaning

I did not come home for Christmas
I chose not to return home during the holiday season


Don't waste your birthday wishes on me
There's no point in hoping for good things for me on my birthday


Twenty-something
I'm in my twenties, still figuring things out


And all I know is I know nothing
I've realized that I lack knowledge and understanding


Sold my soul for fun
I willingly gave up my principles and morals for temporary enjoyment


And my heart at a high price
I traded my emotions for something valuable but costly


We fall in love with feeling wrong
We develop an attraction towards the sensation of being in the wrong situation


No need to make it right
There's no requirement to fix or correct the situation


Wake me up when it's over
I want to be awakened from this state of despair once it's all finished


When will my life begin?
I wonder when I'll truly start experiencing and living life


No one taught me how to be human
I never received proper guidance on how to navigate human existence


I hurt the ones I love the most
I cause pain to the people who are closest to my heart


Cause I'm scared of being left alone
I act this way because I'm afraid of being abandoned and left by myself


I don't wanna live forever, but say
I don't desire eternal life, but tell me


How do I survive one fucking day
I struggle with coping and making it through the challenges of each day


I am still chasing a dream
I'm actively pursuing a goal or aspiration


Which I know is going to kill me
I'm aware that this pursuit will ultimately lead to my own demise


Sometimes the most beautiful things
Occasionally, the most stunning aspects of life


Make you the most lonely
Result in the deepest sense of solitude


The same city
We reside in the identical urban area


But we live planets apart
Our emotional and mental distances are vast, despite our physical proximity


Set fire to the places
We ignite the locations


We grew up, light it up before it gets dark
Where we were raised, illuminate it before darkness consumes it


There's a panic at my heart
My heart is filled with anxiety


And no one's at the disco
There is a feeling of emptiness and absence at the gathering place


Under the final moon, we dance till we're
Beneath the last moon, we dance until we're


Gone, welcome to the end
Vanished, embracing the conclusion


Let's be together alone
Let's find solace in each other's company while still feeling isolated


Oh, and in a perfect storm
In a scenario of complete chaos and turmoil


I might have lost my home
I possibly lost my sense of belonging or stability


Would you take me home?
Will you provide me with a sense of security and belonging?


Could you be my home?
Are you capable of being the source of comfort and stability in my life?


Did you figure out how to be human?
Have you discovered how to navigate the complexities of human existence?


I kill myself and eat my friends
I metaphorically destroy myself and drain the energy from those close to me


I live to destroy everything
I exist with the purpose of damaging or ruining everything around me


You're scared to live if you're scared to die
If you're afraid of death, you'll also fear truly living life


Something irreplaceable breaks inside
Something precious and irreparable shatters within


When growing up means to survive
The process of maturing becomes solely about survival


Life's a game and no one makes it out alive
Life is like a game where nobody escapes death


Another year like that, and we'd all be dead
If we were to experience another year with the same hardships, we would all perish
