"Life is Beautiful" is about Sixx's past drug addiction, the difficulties he encountered while addicted, and his realization that "Life is Beautiful." The chorus of this song "Will you swear on your life, that no one will cry at my funeral" is a quote from Sixx's former roommate and co-lead guitarist from Ratt, Robbin Crosby. Years after being turned onto heroin by Sixx, Crosby died from an overdose in 2002.
Life Is Beautiful
Sixx:A.M. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can't live until you die
You can't learn to tell the truth until you learn to lie
Can't breathe until you choke
You gotta laugh when you're the joke
There's nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive
Just open your eyes and see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry at my funeral?
I know some things that you don't
I've done things that you won't
There's nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home
I was waiting for my hearse
What came next was so much worse
It took a funeral to make me feel alive
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes and see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry at my funeral?
Alive
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes and see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry at my funeral?
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes and see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry at my funeral?
The song "Life Is Beautiful" by Sixx:A.M. is a powerful meditation on life, death, and the struggle to find meaning in both. The lyrics examine the idea that we must experience pain, loss, and hardship to truly appreciate the beauty of life. The opening lines, "You can't quit until you try, You can't live until you die, You can't learn to tell the truth until you learn to lie," suggest that we must persevere in the face of adversity and sometimes even deceive ourselves to survive.
The song goes on to explore the idea that we must confront our mortality in order to fully appreciate the preciousness of life. The line, "There's nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive," suggests that the pain of losing someone we love can awaken us to the beauty of life, reminding us to cherish every moment we have. The song also touches on the idea that we all have secrets and regrets, and that it is only through facing those darker aspects of ourselves that we can find our way back to the light.
Ultimately, "Life Is Beautiful" is a message of hope and resilience. The chorus implores us to "open your eyes and see that life is beautiful," encouraging us to appreciate the world around us even in the midst of our struggles. The final line, "Will you swear on your life that no one will cry at my funeral?" challenges us to live our lives in a way that will leave no regrets behind, and reminds us of the power we have to shape our own destinies.
