Overall Meaning

The song "Dying to be Found" by The Birds and The Beats talks about the feeling of being lost and alone, searching for love, purpose, and success. The singer expresses how their heart is broken and how they are in pain. They are smoking to get rid of that pain, but it seems that no one is there to help them overcome their struggles. The lyrics suggest that the singer is determined to keep going until they reach their destination, although they don't know where it is or how to get there. The repetition of the phrase "Im Outchea" emphasizes this determination to keep moving forward and not let their struggles hold them back.

The song's message is about perseverance, determination, and the pursuit of one's passions. It touches the listener's emotions by reflecting a sense of loneliness, emptiness, and confusion that many people can relate to in their everyday lives. The use of metaphorical language and imagery portrays the singer's inner struggles and the uphill battle they face in trying to find their place in the world. The lyrics mention the theme of dying to be found, which is a desire for recognition and validation, as the singer believes that they lost their crown, but hope to regain it in the future.

Overall, "Dying to be Found" is a thought-provoking piece that communicates the inner struggles of a person searching to find their path. It sends a message of hope and determination and encourages listeners to keep moving forward no matter how tough the road ahead may be.

When I was done dying, my conscience regained
So I began my struggle, a nothingness strained
Out a flash made of time, my new form blasted out
And it startled me so and I burst out a shout
At which my legs ran frantic like birds from a nest
And I ran until drained, leaving no choice but rest
So I fell asleep softly at the edge of a cave
But I should have gone in deeper but I'm not so brave
And like that I was torn out and thrown in the sky
And I said all my prayers because surely I'll die
As I crashed down and smashed into earth, into dirt
How my skin did explode, leaving only my shirt
But from shirt grew a tree and then tree grew a fruit
And I became the seed and that seed was a brute
And I clawed through the ground with my roots and my leaves
And I tore up the shirt and I ate up the sleeves
And they laughed out at me and said "what is your plan?"
But their question was foreign, I could not understand
When then suddenly I'm ripped up and placed into a mouth
And it swallowed me down at which time I head south
I said hey ya ya hey ya ya hey ya ya hey ya ya hey ya ya
Well I woke up to see them, these two mighty steeds
With their mouths grinning wildly expressing my needs
As they stood there above me, being flanked on each side
I felt no need to fear them, no reason to hide
So I reached up to touch but they faded too soon
Yet their mouths still remained and stacked up towards the moon
How that ladder of mouth waved so soft in the night
And I looked up in awe at that beautiful sight
And I dreamt about climbing into the night sky
But I knew had I touched them they'd mouth back "Bye-bye"
So I got up and walked down the path in the dark
And there deep in the distance my eye caught a spark
Of a crab twice my size with incredible strength
Oh, it greeted me kindly and then we all drank
And we drooled out together right onto the ground
And the ocean grew up quickly right up all around
And the earth looked at me and said "Wasn't that fun?"
And I replied "I'm sorry if I hurt anyone"
And without even thinking cast me into space
But before she did that she wiped off my own face
She said better luck next time don't worry so much
Without ears I couldn't hear I could just feel the touch
As I feel asleep softly at the edge of a cave
But I should have gone deeper but I'm not so brave
I said hey ya ya hey ya ya hey ya ya hey ya ya hey ya ya

Keep remembering. Eventually we will remember our true self.

Embrace this reality we have been gifted to experience. We are a way for the universe to know itself.

Use this gift while we have it. It doesn't keep us from the truth, it allows to see from another perspective.

All apart of one mind, temporarily expended to come to know ourselves in a different way.

Death is unity.

@Iamhereblossom Yes, in my personal experience, when I surrender too much I end up feeling exhausted and weak, as if the universe expected more of me. When I focus too much, I end up trapped in a vicious circle where I feel like the center of attention of all living creatures.
After finding the perfect balance, the battle between "I'm great to discover and understand" and "I do not want to worry or take everything personal" disappears.

The whole exchange with Mother Earth is really profound to me. Her remarks, "wasn't that fun?" and "better luck next time, don't worry so much" make me feel like we're really just here to vibe together, die, and let the next generation do the same. It's comforting.

@Caleb Fletcher by that logic what's the point of anything? I'm curious why you are concerned with an event so far away in time that we haven't even gone 1% of the way to reaching it when we are close to killing ourselves off with much more immediate threats. I want to understand what leads you to choose this in particular.

To actually answer your question it would be all the potential along the way. The journey is important, not everything is the destination.

@kba8159

3y↑19

@Caleb Fletcher I see, but it’s not true, none of this is true, even that statement I just made, it means LIFE. To me LIFE, and it’s purpose, is LIFE. Life is the obstacle, the probability, the solution, Love, Change, evolution, and transcendence. To transcend your destiny or the end of it (one in the same), Is to say that god isn’t real, god isn’t real because reality before has been centralized around the human experience, meaning if we can experience it we can perceive it and that’s why we exist, because we can perceive ourselves and attempt to understand and continue evolving to a point of full understanding of what experience entails past human experience. This doesn’t mean be happy and give up because life is pointless and there’s pretty much nothing to do, but it does mean that you are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul. It’s all Love, in the end, whether we even get to look at it, I will measure the feelings I have till the end of those feelings, because to assume that we continue experiencing after death is not absolute. So we give up all of our emotions and feelings presumably and speculated at the moment of our death, I actually believe otherwise, I believe, existence is eternal and it’s ever lasting, it’s omnipotence and omnipresence, it centers itself around itself, why? Because being that life is centralized around itself means that life is all about “focus on Myself”, when I say that it seems like Life just goes down the drain and all of our material realities seem to go away, because of the nourishment and self care of our own existence as experience itself, do you get that? We’re not human, we’re experience itself, and we go “consciousness is in the brain”. No it’s not, it’s everywhere, it’s everything, it feels everything, it sees everything, it is everything, in both senses of the word, consciousness is figured out what consciousness is, itself, consciousness is experience, it’s the realization and evolution to the realization of experience and self, when I say self it almost personifies consciousness because at the end of the day, we do attribute consciousness to be the source of our experience and therefore the reason we attribute and make such a big deal at trying to make ourselves into something, whether it be god, Aliens, cool, fearful. Let me be honest, for me to say that fear is fun or that it isn’t real, I would be false, as fear itself is an experience perceivable by god as a creation of god, I say god to encapsulate the entirety of existence, if there’s nothing outside of consciousness or existence itself, not that we know, but if there isn’t anything outside of experience, then we ourselves are god, I say this because I’ve seen myself as god, during high states of consciousness, through the use of psychedelics or other forms of deep introspection and inquiry on the self. The reason being that at the time of my experiences I was attempting to regain some sort of label or definition on who? or what I was? But that didn’t change until I asked who am I? And then went through the list, then after I released all labels handed to me by realities outside of my personal conscious experience, I realize that I was nothing but god itself, nothingness itself is god, as god is nothing, due too nothing being outside of experience itself, leaving for the possibility of eternal, pure, awareness and realization of existence. It starts with listening to your mind. I know and understand the mind May be aspiring to create realities that seem to cause more harm than good, because the mind sees all as neutral and not evil nor good, we attribute those meanings to the way we define feelings to make us feel, I say feelings because feelings are at the root of experience, anytime, I flex I get interrupted listen up I Am Not Fearful of expression of my truth, I fear nothing, not even fear itself, listen up truth is here, everything he said was truth except this, nothingness is nothing, nothingness is everything and nothing at the same time, everything beyond that is false, not this listen up listen up listen up

@Caleb Fletcher oh boy you really aren't going to like learning about dark energy gravitational acceleration that will eventually go even beyond heat death to the point our entire perceived universe becomes an event horizon stretched in 1 molecule strings until the bonds break.

Best not to waste the limited time you have interfacing with this reality worrying about things outside your control, especially when they will never occur during the time you can observe.

It really is peaceful. Of course, even though I believe it, I have a hard time practicing it. I feel like I'm supposed to worry. To try hard. To push on. How can I do that without worrying? If I'm meant to do both, then how do I learn? Where do I go? How am I supposed to do this? What is my real purpose? Is there even one? Maybe we just keep going until we figure that out. That sounds nice. I hope that's what this is supposed to be. We just keep circling around, until we find a way to comfort others, and so ourselves. Then eventually gain the confidence to be more.

I found so much peace in this song as I laid in my hospital bed. The oncologist's words - "The chemo isn't working" - still ringing fresh in my ears. I heard this so long ago and just thought it was a cool song with a trippy video, but now the lyrics mean so much more. Sometimes there isn't hope for a better future only celebration for the past, and even then what comes next is simply just the next adventure.

... Anyway the chemo did work, it took over 6 years of operations, different treatments plans and technology but I'm still here and still ready for whatever adventure comes next.

I'm not a religious or spiritual person but this really captures the beauty in the ideas of death, rebirth and our own cosmic insignificance. To me it signifies the fear, confusion and comedy we have all experienced at one time or another when venturing into the unknown and the transformative effect that can have on ourselves. Moving to a new place, the end of a relationship, getting lost, coping with a traumatic event — the seismic events in life can be their own kind of death and rebirth because afterwards you aren't the same person anymore.

Those experiences cause small ego deaths which can help mature a person. Sometimes it does the opposite and makes people lose their love and happiness. Psychedelics kill your ego entirely which matures you in the best way. DMT is the compound you need to try. We're beings of consciousness. Consciousness is multidimensional. Scientist already know there are higher dimensions and we experience 3D reality. We live in a semi simulation. DMT let's you experience the higher dimensions of consciousness and you're able to understand life and death and everything in between. Our brains don't produce consciousness it receives consciousness through quantum mechanics in your microtubules. -Dr. Stuart Hameroff "Quantum Consciousness"

"I should've gone deeper, but I'm not so brave" I just can't express how much I adore this line; one simultaneously reflecting on how the boy regrets not taking the trip to the full extent and also how he laments not making the most out of life before the crash. Such a gorgeous song.

@hashylarry8524

5y↑49

I would argue that line is more of a sigh of acceptance, that no life lived is perfect or exactly what you envisioned. Everyone has regrets about inaction at some point in their lives. The message is: that's ok. Acceptance > FOMO

Then it all comes full circle and you realize that by not giving into the evil of the world and doing your best to be a good person you can reclaim that sense of awe and wonder. that you can come back to a point where you see the world as beautiful and full of light again.

I can't tell you how much this song touched me when it first came out. I originally caught it on the Monday of it's premier on AS, and was totally unprepared for it. It took me by surprise and since Monday, I can't stop listening to it. It freakin made me cry because of how much it made me feel. How much I identify with it. The meaning... the meaning along with the overwhelming warm and comforting feeling the song gives you is so welcoming. The meaning (which I interpret) as the soul's journey into the cosmos back to the creator, only to be sent onwards as you eventually become aware of the permanence of your existence and let go the anxiety and worry of this life and the others. I can only hope with all my might that something like this awaits us all on the other side. I just hope there is the other side.

The earth looked at me and said, "Wasn't that fun?"

That's one of the most beautiful lines I have ever heard. A person standing before Earth (in my opinion symbolizing creation itself) and not asking anything, not asking 'Where am I?", or "What are you?" or anything about the meaning of life. They aren't begging for forgiveness. They are expressing a statement of regret for hurting anybody even slightly. They realize that life is an experience, and to hurt anybody even remotely is to ruin that experience. A person stands before earth, apologizing for any wrong doing, like a child to a mother. I can picture Earth smiling, trying to soothe their child, letting them know that even negativity is a an experience in of itself, and not to be sorry, not to worry.

Guess what according to British writer and researcher Anthony Peake and the American writer Scott Beringer you get to do it all over again not once but an infinite number of times. This is called Eternal Recurrence. Scott explains that in order to escape that fate you have to raise your vibration and get your Ark/Arc ready to jump to the next level of reality. Peake tells us we are in a computer game and we keep making the same mistakes until we learn not to. So what we call reality is really a School/Prison you learn in both.

this song is impossible to sing. Try it in the same cadence of the actual song. You'll run out of breath. This recording was edited together from separate takes; The live performance is super different because of this.

The frequent use of conjunctions to emphasise speed I think is really powerful. Events are happening at such a pace that before he even has time to digest what happened, something else happens. Neither we nor him are given the time to collect our bearings once throughout the song.

His final thoughts are of his regrets for not doing more in life, or 'going deeper'. Despite his regrets he's still whisked off into the 'next time', but there's definitely an element of comfort there. To me it's like saying despite the speed, despite the chaos, despite the regrets, there will still be some comfort for us in the end.

To me, this song is the perfect representation of what happens when you are pushed beyond the point of absolute & deepest sadness & despair. Beyond that is this mad happiness & ecstasy where you are no longer worried about any consequences...just like the feeling of free falling...there is no longer any fear, only the feeling of weightlessness & the wind on your face because you know for sure this will all end in a split second 🙃

40 year old professional here - with a marriage, toddler, 401k - and watching this slammed me back into myself 20 years ago where I had tripped for 48 hours and grokked every preposterous edifice of human pretense shatter and fall to confetti on the ground. The night that I came to realize how magnificently lost we are, and came to worship that magnificence. From that point on I was a humanist.

@@papasscooperiaworker3649 Software Engineer, for what it's worth.
To be fair, the journey to humanism wasn't especially far or unpaved - not being particularly religious and already having almost zero credulity for the supernatural.
The change was a clarity around the notion and feeling of reverence, and how it can be directed for good results, and what 'good' even means. The trip was difficult and extremely alienating, in that I lost my ability to take for granted all of the little ridiculous things that make up day to day life. Why do we do what we're told to? Why do we sometimes not? Why did a bunch of people dig up various dirts from the ground, process them in extremely specific ways, ship the results all over the world, and eventually assemble them into a machine with a glowing rectangle that displays images of a dancing purple dinosaur? Why do we stare at it? What is the point of this preposterous thin skim of busy, animate organic material on the surface of a sphere in space? At was an opportunity to put the mentally put puzzle back together based on principles.

@grontleyschweebnalter2567

Yadda yadda yadda, the point that I came to is that the meaning of 'good' that I want to pursue is aesthetic - I want what is beautiful. What is beautiful to me? Human flourishing. To say nothing of what or whether God is - we make our own sanctity. Speaking only for myself, it is preferable for my morals and actions to be guided by a direct reverence of human flourishing, than pursuing the same end via proxy reverence to the notion of this or that deity.

I was like WOW what is this?what did just happened? This was like love from the first sound. I couldn’t get over it I got up to see what my wife was watching, and started looking for songs on that soundtrack until I found it. Then I saw this video! It has changed my life in some way, I had thoughts like that’s the greatest song ever! No song ever in my life had such impact on me.
