die when you die
when you die your gonna die
die when you die
when you die your gonna die

I wanna die, die, die." The singer emphasizes this desire by repeating it several times throughout the song. He asks to be physically abused in any way possible, from getting stabbed, hit with an axe, and kicked until he bleeds. The singer declares that he does not care if he lives or dies and wants to destroy himself.
