You're Better Off Dead lyrics

[Stun]

Help me out with this... maybe I'm out of practice but it seems his singing is very hard to figure out... of course it is a radio rip, though. Anyway, post any ideas you come up with.

edit: I updated it so newcomers to the thread don't need to scroll down...

- Alright!

Yeah, what's the matter with you? Whatcha trying to do? We're wrecking the place and I don't get it
Yeah, I'm gonna hurt you and anyone who came to hear my apology: fuck you!
I'd give anything to batter you down
I'd go all the way to six feet under
I wonder "should I stop?"
Till I see your fucking ass rot
Now you're in pieces and living alone till you knelt in the path of where I spat
And you're hurting forever - it's like you're living in bondage - nothing special left
??
You don't consider it, why don't you understand?

These memories so bitter, taking me
You're better off dead than fucking with me
Wait, there ain't no tomorrow
Well let me tell you: give us the will to die!
-- Solo -- Alexi Laiho

Hey! Would you love me to death?
To where no one has gone
You're the only one for me
In this weak flesh and blood!

-- Solo -- Janne Warman
-- Solo -- Alexi Laiho
??
You don't consider it, why don't you understand?!

- Whoa, you gotta get me out!
These memories so bitter, taking me
You're better off dead than fucking with me
Wait, there ain't no tomorrow
Well let me tell you: give us the will to die!

Hey stun, you are a fuckin' boy, the single isn't released yet, and you're transcribing it now.

 

[American Alexi]

hah...relax...the single isn't even out yet.

 

[Maili Björklund]

I think it's 'You're better off dead, so fuck you and die' in the second line of the chorus. (Been wondering too...)

 

[tempestadiossa]

I thought it was "You're better off dead, no fucking way dead!" in the second line of the chorus...

 

[Stun]

I think it is "don't fuck with me" or "stop fucking with me" or even "no fucking with me"... anything else doesn't even sound like it. I have a very clear sound filter that makes transcribing lyrics easier, with it this radio-rip actually sounds pretty good quality...

EDIT: Hye I figured out it's about somebody else, like a girl or something...

 

[tempestadiossa]

To me it means

"You're better off dead!
No fucking way (to be better in another way)
(You're definitely better off) deaaaaad!"

yeah, it's not so clear but i understood "no fucking way dead", what can i do...

 

[Stun]

I understand what temp means but it still doesn't make sense...

 

[Warheart83]

"Well I'm telling you, give us the will to die"...
this sounds more like "Well let me tell you, ...."

 

[Stun]

Yes I agree... thanks.

 

[Lari]

In case you didn't know, the single doesn't have lyrics printed in the "booklet"

 

[Hatu]

Lol, those could be rap lyrics

 

[Taliesin]

Lyrics have never been CoBs strongest part, although I don't really dislike them. They're pathetic as often as not, but fuck it

 

[Hatu]

I think Alexi just chooses words that fits with the melody or something but still he could choose a better theme

 

[Flaming Death]

i sort of like CoBs lyrics. I htink they are just fun.

 

[Johanna]

"I wonder "should I stop?" until I see a fucking asshole"..
uhhh.. what? I cant wait to hear this song myself..... These lyrics is actually a bit amusing

 

[kater]

Here's what I (think I) heard.

Yo, what's the matter with you? Whatcha trying to do?
We're entering the place and I don't get in it --> "...and I don't get it" instead of "...get in it"
Yeah, I'm gonna hurt you and anyone --> "...in anyway" instead of "...and anyone"
Who can't give me my apology: fuck you!
?? the only way to seize the anger --> here I think I heard: "?????? six feet under". Or maybe I'm nuts!

The rest sounds the same for me.

 

[Cerberus]

To me it sounds like You're better off dead, no fucking way back.

I got "no fucking way" then it seems...

 

[Cerberus]

Yeah it's pretty hard to understand what he says, but the song kicks ass
