Dance Macabra
Swim to Drown Lyrics

Then she turns up, doesn't let me go
A new perspective on life has emerged and it will not leave me alone.

Telling me slowly and quietly these words:
The wisdom that has come is not loud or easy to hear, but it is important.

Ey yo amigo, baila conmigo
Hey friend, dance with me.

And step by step I will really know
Through the experience of dancing and moving, I will truly understand and grow.

What is the meaning of this life?
The ultimate question that we all ponder.

If it gonna end up taken it's tool tonight
If death is inevitable and looming.

In this huddle of pain now makes me understand
Pain provides a certain clarity of thought and understanding.

If pleasures and treasures aren't forever
If the things we value in life are ultimately fleeting and transitory.

We're already dead!
Living in the moment is the only way to truly experience life.

Around the bonfire we dance higher
We dance around the flames, rising higher and higher.

Burning all our dreams and desires
We destroy our own aspirations and yearnings.

The grim was hired, doesn't tell lies
Death is a part of life, and it holds no illusions.

The worldly pleasures make us quiet
The distractions of earthly pleasures keep us from seeing the truth.

No matter the social classes
We are all going to the same place, regardless of our status.

So clean up your glasses
Wipe away the illusions and see things clearly.

Just passing through without chances
We are only here for a short time, with little control over our fate.

So step by step you will really know
By experiencing life bit by bit, we can find true understanding.

How fucked we are in this shitty world
The world can be a difficult and unpleasant place.

We are condemned so enjoy what you have
We are all limited by our mortality, so we must appreciate what we have while we can.

Cuz we are fucking dead
To truly live, we must let go of our fears and embrace our mortality.

You see that the ashes don't tell lies
The ashes of the dead provide a stark reminder of our own mortality.

You know that the journey start this night
Every moment is a new beginning, even in the face of death.

And its one way ticket now
There is no turning back, and we cannot escape our fate.

Enter the dance and enjoy the... sound
We must embrace life and all its joys and sorrows.

We ready cuz, no second... round
There are no do-overs in life, so we must seize every moment.

Come on, you can't split up the cycle
Our lives are inextricably linked, and we are all part of the same human experience.

This seance dictates the final
Death is a powerful, inevitable force that we cannot control or escape.

A better life, a better life, a better life
We must strive for the best possible existence while we are here.

The lottery of life doesn't discriminate
Life is random and often unfair, and we are all subject to its uneven distribution of fortune and misfortune.

This world is a prison, we are the fucking inmates
Life can feel confining and oppressive, but it is up to us to find meaning within it.

So we live in chains to a written end
We may feel trapped or confined by the expectations of society, our own mortality, or other forces beyond our control.

A life painted in disgrace, a disgrace that hit you direct to da face
Life can be difficult and painful, and it can challenge us in ways that are hard to ignore.

Erase the thought that we'll live for good cuz you're wrong mate
The illusion of immortality can be tempting, but we all must confront our own mortality at some point.

So live, everyday, like it was the last day and you wanna stay
To truly live, we must embrace each moment and make the most of our time while we have it.
