Walnut Street Is Dead
The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and i will never leave it (i will never leave it)
i know that you are headed to the west or some place else
it is your resting place, inside that safe escape
you scream out loud like siren sounds, you've reached your final goal
which is to have and hold
as for us we've figured out exactly how to breathe
with vanishing lungs like these
and the sidewalks of walnut street
The lyrics of "Walnut Street Is Dead" by The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die reflect an emotional attachment to one's birthplace while others move on to find a safe escape. The artist acknowledges that while other people move west or elsewhere in search of their goals, they will always stay in the place where they were born. The phrase "I will never leave it" repeats throughout the song and affirms their connection to their hometown.
The song's lyrics alternate between introspective moments of personal reflection and descriptions of others' movements away from the same place. The artist contrasts their own feelings of attachment and belonging with the sense of displacement and searching that they see in others. Through lines like "vanishing lungs like these" and "screaming out loud like siren sounds," the lyrics reveal the artist's internal struggles with existence.
Overall, "Walnut Street Is Dead" represents an exploration of identity and belonging in a specific place, showing both the beauty and the difficulty of staying connected to one's roots.
