I Don't Want to "Live It Up"

Liner Notes
6. This Won’t Have a Happy Ending
2. I Don't Want to "Live It Up”
I feel anxious a lot and was playing Dave the Diver and getting killed over and over again and I thought..."I never want to go do any of this in real life."
That's probably boring. I'll go take my pills now. 😂
Anyway, it snowballed into a less serious exploration of all my intrusive thoughts in a dumb ways to die motif. Hope you enjoy!
Lyrics
David was a diver and he got the bends Came up too quick and he met his end
Bobby like to bike but he had no luck Didn’t look both ways and got hit by a truck
Ronnie was a racer and he went real fast, He lost his race and his life after his car crashed
Stacy liked skiing down the mountain side But she hit a tree and accidentally died
—-
I don’t want to live it up I want to stay inside and watch tv
I don’t want to live it up Doing outside stuff gives me anxiety
Carrie took a cruise ship across the Atlantic, One iceberg later, she went down with the ship
Henry was a hiker and he got real high, Head butted by a mountain goat and said goodbye
Gary was a gardener with allergies Died because he got stung by 100 bees,
Jackie loved the jungle and tried to explore, An anaconda squeezed her, and more she’s no more
—
Stuck by lighting, Kidnapped Flash floods, snipers, booby traps,
Skin cancer, Landslides, Waterfalls and riptides,
Alligators Car crash Forest fires, mugged for cash,
That’s all outside I’m all right, Lock the doors and say good niiiiiiiiiiiight (where the hell is my lexapro?)
--
I don’t want to live it up I want to stay inside and watch tv I don’t want to live it up Doing outside stuff gives me anxiety
I don’t want to live it up I want to stay inside and watch tv I don’t want to live it up Going outside gives me anxiety AND I WON'T

Fawmlings unite! This song rocks! Your vocal delivery complements those lyrics so very well! That chorus will be stuck in my head for a bit haha!

This is quite a journey! I have "dave the diver" on my steam wishlist and now you have me wondering if I myself would be able to handle it without having an anxiety attack of my own. Love the little montages of death - had elements of "start the fire" by Billy Joel, except your lyrics are more fun while being a lot darker. Really good job!

Oh this is 1000% my jam - LOVE me a storytelling song, and the musical comedian in me is giving you ALL the kudos for how funny it is. All the death rhymes are ON POINT and it's such a groove. Certified banger.

Fantastic sound and catchy as hell. Hey stop being so talented for a minute! “where the hell is my lexapro” 😂 chorus is so good, I wanted it to loop for longer at the end, but I will settle for it just being stuck in my head now
Thanks dood! I thought you’d enjoy the lexapro reference 😂

Very lively energy! I love the abrupt ending lol, also the lyrics are a mood. I especially like the subdued lead guitar & the bass driven verses switching up the energy level. Ironically this is exactly the kind of music that makes me feel would be worth getting ready & venturing outside on a snowy day to hear!
Thank you!!! If you go outside please be careful! 😂

That's so funny, I think the same thing when I'm deep down hunting sharks and grabbing treasure. I'd rather be up eating the sushi in real life. Love the lyrics to this, and the inspiration is hilarious AND relatable.
You managed to make a song about anxiety super quirky and catchy, so that's a helluva win! I'm so glad I stumbled across your work, you've been killing it for your first FAWM!
