Radical
It looks sad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Out on my deathbed
Been hungry for a week
Yea, I want to go back
Back to the dirt
I ask, 'why do we die?'
I ask, 'why do we die?'
Yea, I want to go home
Yea, I want to spend my days with you,
Spend them all with you
And I ask, 'why do we die?'
And I ask, 'why do we die?'
Yea, I'm tied to all the things I've done before
Yea, I'm tied to all the things you've done before
Yea, I (?) I think you're running for
Yea, I (?) I think you're running for
Yea, I (?) I think you're running for
Yea, I (?) I think you're running for
I think you're running for
I think you're running for
The song "Radical" by It Looks Sad is a somber reflection on mortality and the desire to return to nature after death. The lyrics express the singer's desire to go back to the earth and spend their days with a loved one. The lines "I ask, 'why do we die?'" are repeated throughout the song, reflecting the singer's struggle with the inevitability of death and the unanswered questions that come with it.
The image of lying on a deathbed and being hungry for a week adds to the sense of despair and helplessness that pervades the song. The repetition of the phrase "yea, I'm tied to all the things I've done before" suggests that the singer is burdened by regrets or past mistakes that they cannot escape, further emphasizing the theme of mortality and the finite nature of life.
The overall tone of the song is melancholic and contemplative, with the music accompanying the lyrics in a slow and introspective way. The lyrics suggest a longing for simplicity, a return to nature, and a deeper understanding of the mysteries of life and death.
