lyrics

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.
