[Verse 1]
Someday I will lay beneath
Some new apartment complex on the Eastside
What a waste of my time
Living just to end up under concrete, clay, some bone, decay
So what the fuck am I waiting for anyway?
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know which book you're reading from
I guess I never got that one
[Chorus]
Gonna see if it's good to get lost in the woods
Gonna hope they don't make a human out of me
And I'll know if it's hurt when I fall to the dirt
But by that point, it won't matter anyway
[Verse 2]
All the time I spend talking God and institution
At those family reunions
What a waste of my time
It's so funny that we're fighting
When we all know that we're lying
About things that we can never understand (Never understand)
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know what you're looking for
I'm throwing meaning at the wall
[Chorus]
Gonna see if it's good to get lost in the woods
Gonna hope they don't make a human out of me
And I'll know if it's hurt when I fall to the dirt
But by that point, it won't matter anyway
[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
[Bridge]
We all fear the end, but it's all we ever live for
And it seems to have me laughing either way
And I'm waiting on these things that are never gonna happen
God, I hate when they start clapping on the plane
[Chorus]
Gonna see if it's good to get lost in the woods
Gonna hope they don't make a human out of me
And I'll know if it's hurt when I fall to the dirt
But by that point, it won't matter anyway
[Outro]
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

This song is about trying to appreciate life and what we have whilst we’re here. Whilst the lyrics are quite dark, I feel the message is hopeful in a twisted way. I was clearly having an existential crisis at the time of writing but aren’t we all?
