Themselves they said “The record was about religion and death plays a massive part in all religion” So they wanted to explain their perspectives of being dead. (Video link starting around 4:30 Mark)
[Intro]
Shh
Shh
[Chorus: Billy Obey]
When I'm dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
When I'm dead, dead, dead
When I'm dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
When I'm dead, dead, dead, dead
When I'm dead
[Verse 1: Billy Obey]
I am one with the earth consumed by the worms
I think I'm dead
I think I'm dead, dead, dead, dead
I see nothing here nothing underneath this dirt
I know I'm dead
I know I'm dead, dead, dead, dead
No one talks about me 'cause jaws often they rot after you're dead
You're fucking dead, dead, dead, dead
Of one thing I'm sure after this I'm gonna burn
When I'm dead
When I'm dead
When I'm dead
[Chorus: Billy Obey]
When I'm dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
When I'm dead, dead, dead
When I'm dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
When I'm dead, dead, dead, dead
When I'm dead
[Verse 2: Lee Carver]
Hoping for tomorrow but there isn't one
(Dead!) Spawned in the jaws of oblivion
(Dead!) Digging 'round my body in the ashes
My corpse in the dirt cold, withered, and cracked
(Dead!) For the living I've grown bitter
(Dead!) Left to reconsider
All the right I could've done, all the wrong that I did
All the shifts that I spin and I didn't make shit
(Dead!) I just wanna go home
(Dead!) How long I've been gone?
Can I roam on the eve of the anniversary of my body losin' life
Or do I continue to be a corpse rotting?
(Dead!) Eons since I passed
The world forgot me maybe it's a dream
Now probably Carver begins to see
The destiny that we're already fuckin' dead
[Chorus: Billy Obey]
When I'm dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
When I'm dead, dead, dead
When I'm dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
When I'm dead, dead, dead, dead
When I'm dead
[Verse 3: Billy Obey]
Half my brain is missing so I have my suspicions
I think I'm dead
I think I'm dead, dead, dead, dead
My complexion and reflection says I'm no longer living
I know I'm dead
I know I'm dead, dead, dead, dead
It's hard to come to grips with the fact that I wish I wasn't dead
You're fucking dead, dead, dead, dead
Without me these maggots can't exist
Feed from the dead
Feed from the dead
[Chorus: Billy Obey]
When I'm dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
When I'm dead, dead, dead
When I'm dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
When I'm dead, dead, dead, dead
When I'm dead
[Verse 4: Joe Black]
Let me rot, turn me into dust (Dead!)
I know I'm not but I wish I was (Dead!)
I can't sleep at night because deep inside
I'm dying at the speed of life
Goddamn that ain't fast enough (Dead!)
Put me in the dirt slam my casket shut (Dead!)
Let me sleep rest in peace (Dead!)
Bury me and let me be (Dead!)
To die is a blessing life is a curse
I just wanna be the silence in the back of a hearse (Dead!)
Everyday's your funeral when you're living to die
Death's the only truth I know I'm a living lie
Life is amazing follow your dreams
But mine is a maze and I'm lost it seems
Nirvana waits in the grave under dirt and rocks
So bury my body in a heart shaped box
Dead dead dead!
Dead was written by Joe Black (AXE) & Lee Carver & Billy Obey.
Dead was produced by Life and Death Productions.
Alla Xul Elu released Dead on Fri Sep 28 2018.
Scottie D asked Alla Xul Elu about this during an interview, and one of the members responded:
When we originally wrote that track, that wasn’t in our mind, but I think subconsciously it absolutely did play a part in it.
