Alissic’s fifth single, “bugfood,” is an upbeat pop song with electronic and hyperpop influences. The artist said this about the meaning of its lyrics:
[The lyrics talk about] coming to terms with the prospect of your own death, preparing for the eventuality that everyone you have ever loved will o...
[Verse 1]
It's hard I know to let me go
The loneliness is foreign
People are seeds that grow like weeds
Leave our hearts like messy gardens
[Pre-Chorus]
It's like a party that's no fun
Where your shadow weighs a tonne
Rubbing baggies on your gums
Ah, ah, ah
I know it's weird how we decay
But you know I couldn't stay
Gotta go home someday
[Chorus]
If I die before I wake up
I'd like you to dance on my grave
I'm sorry too, I wish I knew you better
3, 2, 1, here comes the breakdown
It hits so hard, a sucka punch, ow
Whеn I'm bug food, I'll be with you forever
[Verse 2]
I think thе dust is candy floss
It's bittersweet to bite it
A sugar rush that tastes like rust
Can you hear the violins?
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish it didn't have to hurt
Do some donuts in the hearse
Before my fossils feed the earth
Ah, ah, ah
I know it's weird how we decay
But life's just a holiday
Gotta go home someday
[Chorus]
If I die before I wake up
I'd like you to dance on my grave
I'm sorry too, I wish I knew you better
(Wish I knew you better)
3, 2, 1, here comes the breakdown
It hits so hard, a sucka punch, ow
When I'm bug food, I'll be with you forever
[Bridge]
You can't kill love
You can't kill love
You can't kill love
You can't kill love
No, you can't kill love
No, you can't kill love
No, you can't kill love
No, you can't kill love
(No, you can't kill)
[Chorus]
If I die before I wake up
I'd like you to dance on my grave
I'm sorry too, I wish I knew you better
3, 2, 1, here comes the breakdown
It hits so hard, a sucka punch, ow
When I'm bug food, I'll be with you forever
[Outro]
It hits so hard
It hits so hard
It hits so hard
I'll be with you forever
