Half Life
Korsunnuz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were driven by the hand of god they told
And if we're going out shiny and chrome
For the vengeance of his name we make this home
Well I like I die I live again
Hey Im riding to Valhalla from a half life of hate
The war drums beat and engines scream
And this is such a lovely day
With blossoms of fire and symphonies of rage
You bring it on girl My V8 roars
And the crazy in my heart cries out for more
The lyrics to Korsunnuz's song Half Life reflect a sense of despair and uncertainty in the face of looming destruction. The opening line, "It wasn't us that killed the world yeah", suggests a denial of responsibility for the current state of things, possibly implying that we are not to blame for the state of our world. The following line, "We were driven by the hand of god they told", contrasts with the first line, as it suggests a sense of inevitability and fatalistic acceptance of the state of the world.
The lyrics then shift to a more personal focus, as the singer describes their journey to redemption and their ultimate fate. The lines "Well I like I die I live again / Hey Im riding to Valhalla from a half life of hate" reference themes from the Mad Max film franchise, and suggest a restorative and redemptive journey for the singer. The final lines of the song, "You bring it on girl My V8 roars / And the crazy in my heart cries out for more", reflect a sense of recklessness and abandon in the face of certain doom.
Overall, the lyrics to Half Life speak to a sense of defiance and resistance in the face of overwhelming destruction, while also acknowledging the inevitability of that destruction.

It wasn't us that killed the world yeah
We deny that we are responsible for the world's end
We were driven by the hand of god they told
We were convinced that God made us act this way
And if we're going out shiny and chrome
We want to leave this world in glory and honor
For the vengeance of his name we make this home
We are building a new home in revenge for God
Well I like I die I live again
I am willing to die to come back to life with glory
Hey Im riding to Valhalla from a half life of hate
I am going to a glorious afterlife from a life filled with hate
The war drums beat and engines scream
The sound of war and machines is deafening
Here on fury road we're driving to the end of all things
We're driving towards the end of the world with rage and anger
And this is such a lovely day
We see this destruction as a beautiful event
With blossoms of fire and symphonies of rage
This destruction is beautiful with fire and rage
You bring it on girl My V8 roars
I'm ready for whatever comes my way, my engine revving
And the crazy in my heart cries out for more
My insane desire for destruction demands more
