When I died
The Earth was too hot,
the air was too thin
I took off my clothes
I took off my skin
I crawled to the sea
that was crawling from me
so I could swim...
yeah, so I could swim!
I was sick of the land
I was sick from the heat
I was sick of the sun and the sky and the trees
Over the air that I needed to breathe
When I held with my hands
When I walked on my feet
I took off my clothes
I took off my skin
Started shedding my arms
To start getting my fins
Crawled to the sea that was calling for me
so I could swim, swim the ocean wide
I was only just past the riptide
When I died
When I died
Yeah when I died
My head did swell
I said to myself
Nature should take its sweet time
I was already losing my spine
I was sick with (?) and my curtain fell
It's the end of the story I was certain to tell
Watching their faces as they pulled me from the sea
Feeling for the place I thought my gills would be
Busted and wrecked
Justly infected
My body beyond repair
Had no objection sir
My only questions were
Where do I go and will I know when I'm there
But I really couldn't say that I cared
When I died
When I died
Yeah when I died
My head did swell
I said to myself
Nature should take its sweet time
I was already losing, yeah!, my spine
The Earth was too hot,
the air was too thin
I took off my clothes
I took off my skin
I crawled to the sea
that was crawling from me
so I could swim...
yeah, so I could swim!
When I died
When I died
Yeah when I died
My head did swell
I said to myself
Nature should take its sweet time
I was already losing, yeah!, my spine
Quando Eu Morri
A Terra estava quente demais,
o ar estava rarefeito
Eu tirei minhas roupas
Eu tirei minha pele
Eu rastejei até o mar
que estava rastejando de mim
pra eu poder nadar...
é, pra eu poder nadar!
Eu estava cansado da terra
Eu estava doente do calor
Eu estava cansado do sol, do céu e das árvores
Sobre o ar que eu precisava respirar
Quando eu segurava com as mãos
Quando eu andava com os pés
Eu tirei minhas roupas
Eu tirei minha pele
Comecei a despir meus braços
Pra começar a ganhar minhas nadadeiras
Rastejei até o mar que estava me chamando
pra eu poder nadar, nadar no oceano vasto
Eu estava apenas passando pela correnteza
Quando eu morri
Quando eu morri
É, quando eu morri
Minha cabeça inchou
Eu disse pra mim mesmo
A natureza deve levar seu tempo
Eu já estava perdendo minha coluna
Eu estava doente com (?) e minha cortina caiu
É o fim da história que eu tinha certeza de contar
Observando os rostos enquanto me puxavam do mar
Sentindo pelo lugar onde eu achava que minhas brânquias estariam
Quebrado e destruído
Justamente infectado
Meu corpo além de conserto
Não tinha objeção, senhor
Minhas únicas perguntas eram
Pra onde eu vou e vou saber quando chegar lá
Mas eu realmente não poderia dizer que me importava
Quando eu morri
Quando eu morri
É, quando eu morri
Minha cabeça inchou
Eu disse pra mim mesmo
A natureza deve levar seu tempo
Eu já estava perdendo, é!, minha coluna
A Terra estava quente demais,
o ar estava rarefeito
Eu tirei minhas roupas
Eu tirei minha pele
Eu rastejei até o mar
que estava rastejando de mim
pra eu poder nadar...
é, pra eu poder nadar!
Quando eu morri
Quando eu morri
É, quando eu morri
Minha cabeça inchou
Eu disse pra mim mesmo
A natureza deve levar seu tempo
Eu já estava perdendo, é!, minha coluna
