Everyone Will Die
Motion City Soundtrack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So what you're gonna do with moments you have before it's you?
It doesn't mean goodbye
It's just a simple truth
The shedding of a lifetime of layers that once embodied you
Like winter into spring and summer into fall
A cycle of intense introspection before the curtain call
'Cause everyone must die and everyone must lose
Everyone will die
Everyone will die
Everyone will lose
Everyone will lose
It doesn't mean goodbye
It doesn't mean goodbye
It's just a simple truth
Every single smile and every single tear
Reminders of the moments we shared in the instant we were here
If everyone will die and everyone will lose
Then who you going to love in the meantime before it catches you?
The lyrics to Motion City Soundtrack's song, "Everyone Will Die," capture the inevitability of death and the importance of cherishing the moments we have before our own time comes. The repetition of the phrases “everyone will die” and “everyone will lose” creates a sense of universality and highlights the fact that death is something that we all must face. The lyrics suggest that rather than being a sad or depressing notion, this truth can actually serve as a motivator to live our lives to the fullest and to love deeply while we can. The line “It doesn’t mean goodbye / It’s just a simple truth” suggests that while death may bring about an end, it does not mean that what came before was meaningless.
The song’s use of seasonal imagery adds another layer of meaning to the lyrics. The cyclical nature of the seasons and the changing of the world around us is compared to the cyclical nature of life and death. The idea of “intense introspection before the curtain call” suggests that the end of life is a time for reflection and contemplation. Ultimately, the lyrics ask the listener to think deeply about who they want to love and what they want to do with their lives before their time comes.

God this song is so brilliant. It's a positive song about death. We are all going to die, so what are you going to do with your life while you have it? Live while you can. Live for now. Live.

This song makes me miss my pup... he was such a good dog... the sweetest dog you would ever meet. Children loved him, and even though they were sometimes rough with him, he never growled or bared his teeth. He was such a good boy... I'm sorry I couldn't of been there when he passed away...

This song brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it. It reminds me of my dog who passed away last year. Many people tell me I'm exaggerating because it was just a pet. To me, it was my entire life because she was there when everyone walked away. I remember my last birthday only she and I. That was the last time we were together and that day has become one of the happiest/saddest moments of my life. It's so hard to accept that I won´t see her anymore. I can't live without you, "Chiquita"... T-T
Thanks for reading. Greetings from México.
