Well-fed and healthy, i'm on my way Well-fed and healthy, I'm here to stay Well-fed and healthy, out for a drink Well-fed and hey, why the fuck are you staring at me? *This is supposed to be the beginning of the story. A person goes out for a drink and he meets someone.

Hey sugarbums°, it's time for introductions it's time to shake our hands and pour a drink we really need to talk, we've got all night for us good catch, you're coming home with me There's spiders, war, dentists and burglars there's dogs, clowns and shaky flights too. But since you've all been shat on this world to crawl around I'm the one you learned to fear the most They painted me dressed in black clothes Cheekbones showing Like your insides Pointing skinny fingers to some scratched off family grave I'm sorry if I'm cynical and brutal ten thousand years of this don't help at all like every goddamn job, it gains interest no more, and it becomes a fucking hell routine So let's do this as fast and short as we can No explanations needed from now on Don't make it a big deal, this shit is super real You thought you were so special but you're not So now, you might understand I am the nightmare I am the end don't you wanna get a drink with me? *This is "Justerini and Bluto pt.2". The person who was staring at our hero reveals. I thought about it once when we were playing a show at some friend's bar: you go out and you meet death, who simply tells you to follow him/her. It really scared the shit out of me, that's why I normally don't go to bars on my own. °"Sugarbums" is a quote from the first Batman movie, the one with Jack Nicholson as Joker.

Corroding existence, that rust on my heart I watched it fall over, I watched it restart My friends didn't tell me, but their looks told all Why didn't they slapped me, why did they just stare I would have done the same, uh? Na na na na na na na na na na I hated to see her tears out Na na na na na na na na na na how could i ever leave her like that? Corroding my existence and making me stay and making me smaller every fucking day the problem with myself, i didn't react It's like I felt guilty of being never enough But I needed a break then Na na na na na na na na na na So i went to sleep on the railtracks Na na na na na na na na na na No one would make me miss that anymore Then i woke up alone to the sound of a train that was passing right above my head I told myself to not ever try that again and I finally went to my bed The day after it took 14 hours to tell her to fuck off and never come back then of course she was threatening to call YOU° so I gave her a pat on her back Na na na na na na na na na na Somebody just needed attentions Na na na na na na na na na na Phone calls and sob reactions NOTHING MORE. *This one's about the last and only time I contemplated suicide. I felt stuck in a relationship which was literally driving me nuts and for a night I really thought about throwing myself under a train just right out of her place. °AKA Death. She threatened to kill herself the days after our breakup; i didn't really care so much since the right moment I walked out her basement door for the last time she switched her relational status on FB to "single". I think it wasn't insensitive to think those threats were all bullshit.

this one's for the doctors keeping grandma Jo alive for therapies and medicines that let humans survive too much this one's for the progress when it doesn't let you go it stucks you in a bed and makes the family suffer more This one's for the grandma who died in the other song 'cuz she was lucky enough to get sick and go in just six months while she was still looking pretty, not like a skeleton the more you kick me away the more the adieu will go unheard this doesn't mean being the bad one I JUST DON'T GO WITH THE FLOW This one's for your boss blackmailing your tiny working ass making you hate life and lose all motivations and raise your stress This one's for the months you spent locked into your car this one's for the shitty meals you had in shitty bars This one's for every second i decided to throw away wasting time for assholes should be a crime to punish anyway this one's for when i stopped touring because my ex girlfriend was jealous this one's for taking decisions worrying about everyone you died a million times and I wasn't even there I JUST DON'T GO WITH THE FLOW YOU SHOULD TRY AVOIDING LIFESUCKERS AND STOP WORRYING ABOUT ME° 'CUZ YOU CAN RUN AWAY FROM LIFESUCKERS BUT YOU WON'T AVOID ME° X2 I JUST DON'T GO WITH THE FLOW *This sums up all my personal conceptions and experiences about death. First part is about having the right of choosing how to pass away while you're still able to do that. One of my grandmas was a little bit luckier than the other one. Second part is about how we all die a little bit everyday by being stuck in dead end jobs, friendships and relationships. This one's written from the Death's point of view. Something like: "ok, doctors keep me away and regular people die a little bit everyday. I do things when they have to be done, so I don't go with the flow". The last part every second I decided to throw away is written from my own point of view instead. Despite my black humour, I'm really scared of death. And I've been super lucky I didn't experience losing many of my loved ones along the years. The main thing i meant in this one is pretty much "live up and stay close to the ones you love until there's time" °Final bridge is still Death talking.

So what about now, is it gonna hurt, will i see a big white light? Will I meet my grandma, uncle Jim or Jesus Christ?° Or anyone else, i don't know what to expect from this last ride Who's gonna come to say goodbye? Are they dressing me up like i'm getting married at least on my last day? who's gonna cry who's gonna scream who's gonna walk away? Will you give me another chance if I live up a little more? I'm shitless scared, not ready at all. La la la la la la lie My life is great and I don't wanna die You know what, the thing that I hate the most is a Irish goodbye Leaving without hugging or handshakes or just a smile Just to know for the last time who's really close to me Will they remember? Will I be missed? One thing I'm worried 'bout is leaving a good memory No one should feel embarassed if thay spent some time with me The worst scenario i can think about going like this: someone's ashamed for loving me°° Well-fed and healthy, not gonna stay Well-fed and healthy, fading away Well-fed and healthy, i'm going South Well-fed and healthy, over and out. *This song's title is a tribute to AJJ's "Zombie by Cranberries by Andrew Jackson Jihad". It sums up all the questions and fears I have about dying. °I don't have an uncle Jim, I just needed to fit something which sounded familiar in. And I don't believe in Jesus Christ, but what if I'm wrong? °°Quote from Zerocalcare, my fav comic books artist.
