Overall Meaning

The lyrics to HEAVENWAYS CO. LTD.'s song "Death" are a repetition of two simple phrases: "This is what you want" and "This is what you get." While on the surface this repetition may seem mundane or even nonsensical, it is actually a deeply subversive and provocative statement.


In a consumer-driven culture that glorifies instant gratification and the pursuit of pleasure, the idea that we are always getting what we want is a dangerous one. The repetition of these phrases hints at the ways in which we may be unconsciously complicit in our own demise. In constantly seeking satisfaction and fulfillment, we may not realize the ways in which we are sacrificing our own well-being and contributing to the destruction of the world around us.


This repetition also suggests a kind of fatalistic acceptance of our circumstances, whether they be good or bad. The idea that we always get what we want implies that we are powerless to change our fate, and that the choices we make are ultimately meaningless. This bleak worldview is a powerful critique of a culture that often values success and achievement above all else, and encourages us to constantly strive for more.


Overall, "Death" is a thought-provoking and challenging song that encourages listeners to question their assumptions about what they truly want and whether their actions are aligned with those desires.
