I Don't Want to Die

i like this song.

ever since that day - you took my life away. ever since that night - no i'm not f*****g alright. you could have given me a chance. now i'm going nowhere, nowhere fast. i can't take much more.

 

but somehow i'll try to live like i never wanted to die. and maybe someday i will be better and i won't even have to try to pretend like i never wanted to die. i don't want to die.

 

how could you know - i never wanted you to go? how could you see - i never wanted you to leave? now what's left? i will not confess - i will not give in - i shall not distress. it's all in the past. but i can't take anymore.

 

but how could you see? you don't know the real me. but some day you will see. and what's there will be something great and we'ill be together and we'll live forever and start a happy family. yea some day you'll see.

but somehow i'll try to live like i never wanted to die. and maybe someday i will be better and i won't even have to try to pretend like i never wanted to die. i don't want to die. 

i don't want to die.

The repetition of "I don't want to die" is used tactically to emphasize this message. However, my interpretation states that you still struggle with the idea of death unto yourself and unto others especially those in the past. I feel as though you are attempting to convince yourself that you have made peace with these issues. In a sense, they appear to be your relapses. If I may be so bold, death is a cowardly thing. It will tempt you to grab a hold of it, but the human rightfully so fearful of it. In death, you will find a contented peace, but as a consequence, you will be absent of emotion and eventually you will desire. In life, you will have the opportunity to reach happiness and love. On a balance scale, what do you think is best?
