“Already Dead” is the first single released by Hollywood Undead in 2019 and the lead single from their upcoming sixth album “New Empire Vol.1” that is set to release in February 2020.
Danny explained what the meaning to the song was underneath one of his Instagram posts;
“Recently someone asked me...
[Verse 1: J-Dog]
It's the year of the snake
Friends are overrated, so let's make no mistake
I watch from the distance while you poison the lake
A trail of ash that you leave in your wake
Knock me down, but I get back up
In the rain, I feel no pain from the cuts
Too much pain, is it ever enough?
In the rain and I'm spilling my guts
[Chorus: Danny]
You wanna hate me
You wanna try and break me
But you can't kill me
'Cause I'm already dead
You can shame me
You could try and break me down
'Cause I'm already dead
[Post-Chorus: Danny]
Already dead
Already dead
[Verse 2: Danny & J-Dog]
Here I am again at the edge of a knife
Some of us are born at the end of our lives
Wake up in a sweat in the dead of the night
I must be dreaming
I can see the end of your reign
I can feel the hate filling your veins
Watch me now as I'm breaking the chains
Leaving your whole empire in flames
[Chorus: Danny & J-Dog]
You wanna hate me
You wanna try and break me
But you can't kill me
'Cause I'm already dead
You can shame me
You could try and break me down
'Cause I'm already dead
'Cause I'm already dead
[Bridge: J-Dog]
Watch me now as I'm breaking the chains
Leaving your whole empire in flames
Watch me now as I'm breaking the chains
Leaving your whole empire in flames
[Chorus: Danny & J-Dog]
You wanna hate me
Try to break me
But you can't kill me
'Cause I'm already dead
You can shame me
You could try and break me down
'Cause I'm already dead
'Cause I'm already dead
Dead
'Cause I'm already dead
