Born Dead
Yendri Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want to waste my time
With cynical assholes anymore
But if I did this I'd be all alone

They do not have a soul or feelings at all
They're born dead, straight into hell
They're born dead, straight into hell
Dead, dead, dead, straight into hell

They only hate straight into hell

They're born dead you and everything

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Yendri's song "Born Dead" deal with the disconnect that can exist between individuals who are trying to live a positive life and those who insist on being negative and cynical all the time. The opening lines express frustration with wasting time on individuals who have no desire to change their behavior and are resigned to being cynical and negative, making it a difficult and almost futile task to try to connect with them. The song then goes on to describe these individuals as being "born dead," suggesting that they are empty and devoid of a soul or emotions, and can only spread their negativity and hatred to others.

In essence, the song is about the internal struggle of wanting to connect with others but realizing that some people are beyond reach and will never change their behavior. The lyrics are also a commentary on how individuals who are content with being cynical and negative can drag down those around them, making it difficult to maintain positive relationships. Yendri's distinct and haunting voice adds to the overall feeling of alienation and hopelessness that is present in the song.

Line by Line Meaning

I don't want to waste my time
I am not willing to spend any more of my time

With cynical assholes anymore
Interacting with negative and pessimistic individuals is no longer my desire

But if I did this I'd be all alone
However, if I were to follow this, I will be left with no companionship

They do not have a soul or feelings at all
These individuals lack any emotional capacity or human connection

They're born dead, straight into hell
These individuals are spiritually lifeless and inherently doomed

Dead, dead, dead, straight into hell
These individuals are devoid of any will to live and are headed towards an eternity of suffering

They only hate straight into hell
Their only inclination is to emit negative energy that ultimately sends them towards damnation

They're born dead you and everything
These individuals infect everything and everyone around them with their toxic habits and behaviors
