before i`m dead
Kidneythieves Lyrics

Moon hangs around
The moon is present, serving as a dark reminder of the task at hand.

A blade over my head
Time hangs over me like an imminent threat, reminding me of the importance of my mission.

Reminds me
Constantly reminding me, nudging me to take action.

What to do before I'm dead
The importance of accomplishing my goals before it's too late is the main focus.

Night consumes light
The darkness of night overshadows any light, as if to say that inevitable death overshadows life.

And all I dread
All my fears and doubts stand in the way of achieving my goals.

Reminds me what to do before I'm dead
Despite my fears, there's no denying the importance and urgency of taking action.

Sun reclines, heats my mind
The warmth of the sun serves as a source of motivation for me to start working towards my goals.

Reminds me what to leave behind
There are things in my past that I should let go of in order to move forward.

Light eats night and all I never said
The light of day reminds me of all the things I've left unsaid, and how I need to act before it's too late.

Reminds me what to do before I'm
The importance of taking action before it's too late cannot be overstated.

To see you
One of the main motivators behind my goals is seeing a loved one.

To touch you
I long to physically interact with my loved one, and that drives me to act.

Epochs fly, reminds me
Time flies by so fast, which only emphasizes the importance of acting now.

What I hide, reminds me
There are hidden aspects of myself that I need to confront in order to accomplish my goals.

The desert skies
The barren, bleak desert landscape reflects the harshness of life and the need to persevere.

Cracks the spies
Breaking free of negative influences that hold me back.

Reminds me what I never tried
The importance of stepping outside of my comfort zone and trying new things.

The ocean wide salted red
The vast, imposing ocean symbolizes the magnitude of the task at hand.

Reminds me what to do before I'm dead
The reminder to act before it's too late is constant throughout the song.

To see you
Once again, the thought of seeing a loved one is a major motivator for action.

To touch you
Physical connection with a loved one continues to drive me to act.

To feel you
The emotional connection with my loved one is just as strong, and spurs me on.

To tell you
I need to express my feelings and communicate better with my loved one.

The sun reclines, remind me
The sun is still present, serving as a reminder of the task at hand.

The desert skies, remind me
The harsh, daunting desert landscape is still there, reminding me of the effort required.

The ocean wide salted red
The vast, imposing ocean remains a symbol of the magnitude of the task.
