The Heart Attacks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take a breath take some time to think,
Sink into the vast mud-lands of your best friends lungs
Reflect, you signed the papers
Did it for the fat cats and for what?
Blood stains and nameless graves
A 12-gunshot salute, to the back of your own throat

I can't believe I cried this time
I can't believe I died this time
I can't believe they lied this time
I can't believe I cried again this time

Sugar coat the salt in my wounds
Fold the flag and close the page in my book
And for what?
This isn't even my war

Democracy will never work with a one-sided team, win with this one-sided team
Revolutionary freedom-fighters-turned-dictators freeing nations by slave labour




And genocide? Fuck this western lifestyle
I'll just keep biting the hand that feeds

Back on December 30th 2021, my father had a massive heart attack in his sleep that was caused by pneumonia and covid. And despite the best efforts of the paramedics, he wasn't able to pull through.

That morning, my mother said she woke up around 5:00 that morning to him making some sort of humming noise which went on for several seconds. It ended with an aggressive snore/cough and she poked him to see if he was alright, but he wasn't responding. At that point, panic started settling in and she was able to get him on the floor to call 911 and perform CPR. One of my younger sisters who slept next door woke up to her talking on the phone went in and immediately got 2 of my sister up and woke up me and my other 2 brothers. One of my other brothers went up and took over for my mother.

What I remember was waking up to my sister yelling at me to wake up and telling me what was happening. The lights were on in my room and it was still dark our. It didn't really sink in what was happening until I got upstairs and looked down the hallway to my left. And what I saw in that bedroom made me feel sick. I just saw him laying on the floor motionless and unconscious. As my mother was saying "1, 2, 3, 4" I could hear it in her voice that she was doing everything she could do to stay calm and not loose it. I wanted to go back and see if I could do anything to help but I decided against that because when you're trying to save a life you need all your focus, you can not afford even the slightest of distractions. So I decided against that.

Anyway the only thing I could think to do was to watch out for the paramedics or any emergency vehicle. My 5 younger siblings were all sitting on the couches in the living room stunned and I was nervously pacing back and forth waiting for the emergency vehicles. So when they came they took over, but unfortunately, to no avail. For me, it didn't sink in untile the peiple from the funeral home had to come and take away his body. Even 6 months later, the grief and trauma is still there. And I've used this as motivation to get in better shape.

Rest In Peace, Dad.

My father faced heart attack back in 2011. It was a horrifying situation. He used to love red meet and smoke cigarette sometimes in his younger days, also gained some weight. But on that night he was highly tensed for some reason that I won't share. As his description:
Had severe pain in left side of chest
Jaws were stuck and couldn’t be opened easily
Vomiting occurred
Eyesight became blurry
And Headaches also.

It occurred in like 10 PM and we thought that was just a gastric pain. He vomited, had some pills and went to sleep. But at last couldn’t resist himself from pain, called our neighbour for help. Went to local hospital. Tested ECG and doctors indeed took good care of his emergency situations. Tests found he had two blockages in his heart, one is above 80% and other is like 45%. In a week, he had a to get a cardiovascular ring to clear the blockage.

Thanks to almighty he is now 52 and Okay and follow all the rules shown in the video. Though I didn’t know much in that time as I was a 9y/o boy but now I can understand it was serious matter to deal with. I Wish no one gets a heart attack before the age of 60. God Bless everyone.

huh? yunjin

it's so crazy how doctors can take another artery, and replace it in the HEART, keeping a patient alive. IT'S– wow. mad respect to doctors out there.

Yepp, look up Dr Shetty, he conducted over 5000 surgeries for no cost.

Koala

Ok

Its kinda like with animals like cats and dogs they are less likely to have heart attacks because they have like x2 as many blood vessels to the heart than we do so whenever they get a blockage like this in their heart for whatever reason their body can automatically act to cure itself right away
