MENTAL HEALTH
The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was a child
It’s a strange thought
Where is it going?
In the trees it looks like bees to float around like that;
Like part of the rest of the thing, not looking for entertainment
Don’t worry if what you say is a quote from older days
When in doubt, just look it up
Or when in real doubt, look around you and stop crying
Stop crying

Better to let them know sooner than later
Like you’ve never rolled down a window in your whole life
Do you remember the start, where it all came down?

We aren’t looking for entertainment to forgive your parents
You are normal and healthy to forgive yourself

Better to let them know sooner than later




Like you’ve never rolled down a window in your whole life
Do you remember the start, where it all came down?

The first song I heard by them. I was sitting home alone on a sunny Saturday evening drinking and having a bad break down. This made me feel so much hearing this. It made everything better and worse at the same time. Thank you, twiabp.

This band is way more interesting than your average "EMO" band! Harmlessness feels kind of transitional? They really explore genre on the record! This song in particular! Awesome stuff!

The line about the bees pops into my head sometimes and fills me with emotion. , it’s so simple. It’s so real. The human condition. Stuck between two worlds - the one we made up to make us feel better, and the natural chaos of the universe that we cannot control.
