The band have released four studio albums, "Trickster" (1998), "Zerøspace" (2002), and "Trypt0fanatic" (2010). An EP "The Invisible Plan" (2011). And a remix EP "Phi In The Sky" (2001), released in between "Trickster" & "Zerøspace".
The band re-released "Trickster" as "Trickstereprocess" in 2004, which included 5 new bonus tracks, along with a bonus DVD. After the release of "Trickstereprocess", the group called it quits and went their separate ways. Free Dominguez went on to create an indie project while Bruce Somers created the band Shocknina.
In January of 2007, Free Dominguez sent out a newsletter via email stating that she and Bruce are collaborating once again on brand new Kidneythieves material. These sessions resulted in the brand new album "Tryptofanatic".
Kidneythieves have hired bassist Mirv Douglas and are working on their new EP "The Invisible Plan" to be released in October 2011.
Before I'm Dead
Kidneythieves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
moon hangs around
a blade over my head
reminds me
what to do before im dead
night consumes light
and all i dread
sun reclines, heats my mind
reminds me what to leave behind
light eats night and all i never said
reminds me what to do before i'm
to see you
to touch you
to see you
to touch you
epochs fly, reminds me
what i hide, reminds me
the desert skies
cracks the spies
reminds me what i never tried
the ocean wide salted red
reminds me what to do before im dead
to see you
to touch you
to feel you
to tell you
the sun reclines.....remind me
the desert skies....remind me
the ocean wide salted red
reminds me what to do before I'm...
To see you
To touch you
to feel you
to tell you...
*hums*
The song "Before I'm Dead" by Kidneythieves explores themes of mortality and the fear/discomfort of impending death. The lyrics describe the singer being reminded of what they must do before they die through symbolic imagery of the moon hanging over their head and the night consuming light. The sun represents what the singer must leave behind, and the ocean reminds them of what they've never tried. The repeated phrases of "to see you, to touch you, to feel you, to tell you" suggest a longing for connection and perhaps regret for things left unsaid or undone.
The use of vivid sensory language and natural imagery in the song create a haunting atmosphere that reflects the weight of the subject matter. The repetition of certain phrases, such as "reminds me what to do before I'm dead" and "to see you, to touch you," only adds to the emotional intensity of the song.

"Beføre I'm Dead"
Moon hangs around
A blade over my head
Reminds me what to do before I'm dead
Night consumes light
And all I dread
Reminds me what to do before I'm dead
The sun reclines
Eats my mind
Reminds me what to leave behind
Light eats night
And all I never said
Reminds me what to do before I'm…

The desert skies - remind me
The ocean wide salted red
Reminds me what to do before I'm…
