Because I Could Not Stop For Death

I was in too much of a fucking hurry to stop for Death –

So he stopped for me (he’s a real gentleman, aside from the whole “killing you” thing) –

The only things that exist are life and death, by the way –

Unless you count immortality.

 

So I was chilling with death, in a carriage – and he drove so damn slowly,

And I couldn’t even do anything,

‘Cause all I could think about was how glad I was not to be dead.

 

We drove past a school (this guy’s a fucking creeper)

And watched the kids running around in the playground –

And we passed some nice fields –

And the sunset –

(So basically death was creeping on young people and middle aged people and old people).

 

Like really, it wasn’t so much that we passed all that shit that I just mentioned –

More like HE was stalking that shit.

His being there made everything all cold and eerie,

And suddenly my dress wasn’t keeping me warm (goddamnit).

 

We were passing by a grave and he was all like,

“Oh wait can we stop for a minute?”

So we did, ’cause you don’t fuck with Death.

 

So that was a long-ass time ago,

But it still seems like it was super recently,

And I realized then that our carriage ride

Like totally symbolized how Death (and life) is an eternal cycle.

That’s fucking deep.
