Live to Die
Illogic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tainted relations assembled atop of quicksand foundation
no preparation for the prosperity sinking
innovation is thinking, triggering success, igniting the fuse of stress
heartache and heartbreak, emotional displacement
hopeful dissapointment trapped within this physical encasement
a delusional ointment
massaged into the minds of those who find existence frozen
inevitable ending
laced with an unknown destination
excessive fear is the undertow of situation locations
religous limbo,a consequence awaits every action
prescriptions given by civilians to keep mental planes from crashing
inhale for coping fashion
shoot up for some relief
guzzle to gain confidence
roll trees to escape this nonsense
live to die, to survive has never been achieved
i love life so i guess i'm a masachist that can't wait to leave
painless no struggle for survival
sipping from silver streams where dreams are now pedestrians
tangible happiness
driven by fantasy interaction
lacking flesh restriction, angels to crowds (?)come power(?) I'm rippin'
a venue where souls listen
the gardens a stage
there's a vast field of wildflowers as styles tower from pages
clouds are pedestals with pools of words to swim through
drowning is bliss, and destiny's sealed with a kiss
walking with love and contentment hand in hand
upon streets of golden sand encountering lost family and friends
hardship is a pastime that capsized
the entrapment of lies abolished
everyone has a moral platform polished by the hands of celestials
and heavenly cotton-balls where we can stand for lifetimes not threatened by the fall
thoughts remain pure, no tainted speach
we speak with emotions in a paradise that doesn't cease
2x
life can be a setback, and death can be progression
life can be a burden and death can be release
life can be a problem and death can be a solution
if your life is death there can be nothing left but increase
The song "Live to Die" by Illogic is a contemplative piece on the inevitability of death and the struggles and tragedies that come with life. The song highlights the pain and heartache that people experience throughout their lives, and how these experiences can ultimately shape their perspectives on life and death. The beginning of the song explores the idea that life is difficult, with people often struggling to find success or meaning in their lives. The lyrics suggest that we may find ourselves sinking in the quicksand of our own emotions, experiencing heartbreak and emotional displacement along the way, and always facing an unknown and inevitable ending.
The contrasting chorus suggests that death can be a release from the burdens of life, a solution to the problems and setbacks that we face each day. The lyrics seem to suggest that despite the difficulties of life and the inevitability of death, the ideal is to keep striving and fighting to survive. The singer seems to suggest that despite his own struggles with life, he still loves it and is eagerly anticipating the moment when he will finally be able to rest in peace.
One particularly interesting aspect of the song is the way it explores the idea that people's perceptions of life and death can be influenced by their experiences and beliefs. The lyrics mention religious limbo, suggesting that our beliefs about what happens after we die can greatly affect how we approach life. The song also touches on the idea that people may cope with their struggles in different ways - inhaling, shooting up, or gulping down substances to find relief.
Overall, the lyrics of "Live to Die" are a powerful expression of the complex and often conflicting emotions that people feel about life and death. The song explores themes such as pain, struggle, hope, and acceptance, ultimately suggesting that while death may be a release from life's difficulties, it is still important to keep fighting and living as best we can.

@Iamthegreen we're obviously not sheep. and if songs like this were mainstream then we wouldn't enjoy them nearly as much when we do finally find them
