Living Dead
Sim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

you need somebody
to keep you alive
other's misery
tastes like honey for you
you're such a poor fish
(hey) living dead,
come back to life
tell me what is in your eyes
you're living dead,
I'm sick of lies
say what is in your eyes

you dig it, you dig it now
who am I singing to
don't pretend to be
a victim of society
you are just a dog of a company
(hey) living dead,
come back to life
tell me what is in your eyes
you're living dead,
I'm sick of lies
say what is in your eyes

you want it more, more and more
you want it more, more and more
you want money more and more
you want it more
working for a company
like a dog,
betraying all who trust you
what did you get from them?

you're living dead,
come back to life
tell me what is in your eyes
you're living dead,
I'm sick of lies
say what is in your eyes
you're a victim of society /
I'm sorry for this tragedy
just working for a company /




just working for your family
like a dog.

Overall Meaning

The song "Living Dead" by Sim is a critique of corporate culture and capitalism, and how it can turn people into empty vessels incapable of true emotional connection. The opening lines "you need somebody to keep you alive, other's misery tastes like honey for you" signify how people in corporate culture often thrive on others' misfortune and suffering, turning a blind eye to what is truly important in life. The line "you're such a poor fish" further solidifies this notion by emphasizing the vulnerability and powerlessness of individuals in this system.


The chorus of the song repeatedly urges the "living dead" to come back to life and reveal what is truly in their eyes, as if they have lost touch with their emotions and their humanity. The line "you are just a dog of a company" further emphasizes how people in corporate culture are often treated as mere tools, and not as human beings with individual thoughts and feelings. The repeated phrase "you want it more, more and more" highlights the insatiable thirst for money and material success that keeps people trapped in this system, often at the expense of their own well-being.


Overall, "Living Dead" is a powerful commentary on the dangers of unchecked capitalism and corporate culture, and how it can strip people of their humanity and sense of purpose.

もうSiMにliveでの弱点はないね
あとこのバンドのベースが個人的に好き

@no1fujikawa430

題名にもある「DEAD MAN WALKiNG」とは、囚人が歩いて処刑場へ向かう様子を現す。また別の意味で、仕事をクビされそうな人の意味もある。
THE BEAUTiFUL PEOPLE …そのタイトルとは裏腹に、叩きつける現実に対して絶望しかないそんな感じのコンセプト。MAHさんの悪魔とも呼べる禍々しいボイスと世界観がそんな雰囲気を醸し出している感じですね。絶望を何度も経験した彼らだからこういう感じに出来るのかも。楽しみですね!

@roverock3950

「SiMってかっこよくないすか?」て思われたいだけなんだよ!このMAH君の言葉最高だったな。

@no1fujikawa430

女性誌のWishでも言ってましたね。そこでは、自分たちはSiMは、かっこよくなりたいのに、有名になりたいのに理由なんかいらないでしょみたいなことを言ってましたよ。

@tokikosaitou6054

NO1 Fujikawa それDAIGO。
