The Chronicles of Life and Dea
Good Charlotte Lyrics

You come in cold
You enter this world in a state of unfamiliarity, with no prior experience or knowledge of what lies ahead.

You're covered in blood
You're birthed by your mother with physical evidence of your emergence.

They're all so happy you've arrived
Your arrival brings joy to those around you who eagerly await your presence.

The doctor cuts your cord,
The medical professional assisting with your birth severs the biological connection between you and your mother.

Hands you to your mom
After being born, the doctor gives you to your mom for care and nurturing.

She sets you free into this life
Your mother introduces you to the world outside the protective confines of her womb.

And where do you go
Without a specific direction or purpose, you wander aimlessly through life.

With no destination
You lack a predetermined end goal or aspiration guiding your journey.

No map to guide you
You have no definitive plan or route to follow as you navigate through life's challenges.

Wouldn't you know
It's ironic and unsurprising that regardless of how one lives their life, death is an inevitable outcome.

That it doesn't matter we all end up the same
No matter how one chooses to live their life, death remains a universal and impartial fate for all individuals.

[Chorus]
This is the repeated refrain that emphasizes the idea that each life is unique yet ends in the same way.

These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between
The experiences and events of one's existence that encompasses everything from birth to death are what defines one's life and death.

These were the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem.
The accounts of one's life and death, while subjective, constitute a narrative that is open to interpretation and storytelling.

Today could be the best day of your life
The possibility exists that one's current day could become the pinnacle of their entire life's experiences.

And money talks in this world,
Society often prioritizes financial interests and the monetization of everyday experiences.

That's what idiots will say
Despite the focus on wealth, some individuals recognize money's inability to bring true lasting happiness or fulfillment.

But you'll find out that this world,
Through personal experience and growth, one will comprehend the world's complexities and idiosyncrasies.

Is just an idiots parade
Despite its intricacies, the world can be seen as a series of foolish actions and events that lack true purpose or value.

Before you go, you've got some questions.
Before one's death, it's natural to ponder the reasoning behind one's existence and the events of their life.

And you want answers
The desire to understand the significance of life and the world around us is a natural human curiosity.

But now you're old, cold, covered in blood,
As one nears the end of their life, they are likely to experience physical frailty, desensitization towards life's events, and the loss of bodily functions (symbolized by blood).

Right back to where you started from
Death represents a cyclical return to the state of unfamiliarity experienced at one's birth.

Today could be the worst day of your life.
Similarly, one's current day could also potentially become the worst day of their life.

Today could be the last day of your life.
The moment of one's death is uncertain and could occur at any point in time, even the present day.

It's your life, your life.
The responsibility for one's life and the narrative that is created from it solely belongs to that individual.
