Expiry Dates
Joydrop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to see it spin from out there
Watch the colours swirl
Before we blow it into shades of black and grey
This could happen any day now
Before I leave this world
I want to see it from the bottom
No wings and no gates
Just skill-testing questions and expiry dates
No wings and no gates
Just skill-testing questions and expiry dates
When you step on through the next phase
Before I leave this world
I want to know whatever they know
'Cause I'm not afraid to hold it
Want to blow the whole thing wide open
No wings and no gates
Just skill-testing questions and expiry dates
No wings and no gates
Just skill-testing questions and expiry dates
When you step on through the next phase
Before I leave this world
I want to tell you all that I know
And say all the things
I should have said a long, long time ago
No wings and no gates
Just skill-testing questions and expiry dates
When you step on through the next phase
Step up to the big stage
Flip on to the last page
The lyrics of Joydrop's song Expiry Dates express the desire to fully experience the world before leaving it. The first two lines suggest a longing to see the world from a different perspective, as if from space. The idea of watching the colors swirl implies a fascination with the beauty of the world, but also recognizes that the end could happen at any moment, and that we are all subject to the same fate.
The lyrics then shift to a desire to understand the world on a deeper level, to examine the heart of the matter. The lines "No wings and no gates/Just skill-testing questions and expiry dates" suggest a challenge, in which we are forced to prove ourselves worthy before moving on to the next phase. The singer wants to blow the whole thing wide open, to understand the hidden workings of the world and to confront their own mortality without fear.
The final stanza is a call to action, a recognition that time is running out to say the things that need to be said. The repeated refrain of "No wings and no gates/Just skill-testing questions and expiry dates" becomes a reminder that life is short, and that we should make the most of the time we have before moving on to whatever comes after. Overall, the lyrics of Expiry Dates are an exploration of the human desire for knowledge, understanding, and connection, as well as a recognition of our own mortality.

Before I leave this world
Before my time on this earth is done
I want to see it spin from out there
I want to view the earth from outer space
Watch the colours swirl
Watch the earth's colors blend and move
Before we blow it into shades of black and grey
Before we cause destruction and damage to the earth
This could happen any day now
This destruction could occur at any moment
I want to see it from the bottom
I want to gain insight into the deepest parts of the earth
As close as I can get to the heart of the matter
As close as I can get to understanding the underlying truth
No wings and no gates
There are no physical transportation methods
Just skill-testing questions and expiry dates
Access to the next world is dependent on answering questions and passing a certain date
When you step on through the next phase
When you pass on to the next stage of existence
I want to know whatever they know
I want to know what those who have died know about the next phase of existence
'Cause I'm not afraid to hold it
Because I am not afraid of death or the next phase of existence
Want to blow the whole thing wide open
Want to gain new insight and understanding about the next phase of existence
I want to tell you all that I know
I want to share my knowledge and experience before I die
And say all the things
And vocalize all the thoughts and emotions
I should have said a long, long time ago
That I should have shared a long time ago
Step up to the big stage
Move to the next phase of existence
Flip on to the last page
Move on to the final chapter of life

I sometimes wonder how sheeple--uh, I mean, uh... people, interpret the line "No wings and no gates/ Just skill testing questions and expiry dates."
Maybe a better psychic litmus test can be "What are you willing to take, what are you willing to leave behind? What have you learned, and what are you willing to open yourself up to in order to move forward to where you see yourself in the short term/long term?"
