Avett Brothers, The - Die Die Die Lyrics






She's fighting with the sky
She thinks she can
Livin' within a lie
She thinks she can
But nobody knows what lies behind
The days before the day we die
Die, die, die, die, die, die, die
Die, die, die, die, die, die, die
Die, die, die

She puts her hands against
The life she had
Living with ignorance
Blissful and sad
But nobody knows what lies behind
The days before the day we die
Die, die, die, die, die, die, die
Die, die, die, die, die, die, die
Die, die, die

You can try to swim the sea
But say goodbye to you and me
You can try to swim the sea
You can try to hold the breeze
You can try to hide the sun
But say goodbye to everyone
Die, die, die, die, die, die, die
Die, die, die, die, die, die, die
Die, die, die

Avett Brothers, The Die Die Die Comments
  1. L.... S....

    Reaper's theme song, ladies and gentlemen.

  2. M.... P....

    Awesome song

  3. H.... ....

    This song changed my life ever since I first heard it in 2016

  4. S.... ....

    Oh God, this was ten years ago. How odd to look back on it at this time in the future.

  5. H.... ....

    I love this song and the video. Lovely art. Nostalgic. Comfortable. Bittersweet.

  6. Z.... G....

    Grew up with this song.

  7. A.... S....

    The part where she hangs up the phone on the drumbeat is amazing!

  8. A.... R....

    I suppose the government has always used entertainment to turn female and male against one another. The criminal intent is to destroy unconditional love; thus, reaffirming the individuals belief in the educational conditioning and psychological programming of State.💎

  9. E.... A....

    I don't give a rat's ass what anybody else says: this is one of the best written, performed and recorded songs ever. In every aspect. Them boys were lucky and humble enough to ride on that angelic wave of perfection that only passes through once, maybe twice, in a lifetime.

    E.... A....

    It's an absolutely stunning song but it's impossible to define "the best", is totally subjective and actually impossible to do, because NEVER IN YOUR WHOLE life you will listen to all the songs created by mankind. By the way, they reminds me of Bright Eyes on the style of compose and sing, you know them?

    E.... A....

    i love this song too. But i like rats

    E.... A....

    Mumford and sons have powerful songs too. And a lot of pink floyd. But this is differently in the high percentile

  10. A.... K....

    They're so good I wish I was gay.

  11. i.... f....

    the story in the background does not make much sense but the people with the blue coats for not existing its basically saying that they are God .

  12. i.... f....

    die die die data Dada Dada Dada Dada Dada die die die

  13. S.... H....

    ha ha ha lol, die die die die die die die die die die die

  14. D.... i....

    DEATH WALKS AMONG YOU

  15. T.... B....

    this may be their opus. this sounds like a band that needs to prove something. special.

  16. s.... c....

    Nice of the guy from Devo to show up.

  17. O.... B....

    sweet sweet music.

  18. M.... E....

    Love the Avett Brothers. This is definitely one of their more popular songs out there, but its only the tip of the iceburg. True musicians.

  19. M.... O....

    I think this video is great and fits the song in a really nice, not-so-obvious yet appropriate way. Keep up the good work, whatever you do, Mr. Nackashi.

  20. T.... B....

    what is the preoccupation with my birthday? Feb 7th??

  21. P.... o....

    It's called "Once Upon a Honeymoon" (1956)

  22. t.... ....

    favorite song of all times -w-

  23. A.... ....

    actually, Avett rhymes with "crave it". ;)

  24. r.... ....

    I get what you're saying. Avett have a thousand songs that all sound completely different. They're unmatched in everything they do. They never expected to become a huge band. They still play live shows like a band trying to put gas in the van. As does M&S. If you asked each band what they thought of the other, you'ld get the same response...kindred spirits.

  25. S.... ....

    Your assertion was that they are both equally amazing. The fact M+S can produce some sweet sounds does not make up for the fact they have taken one idea and smashed it to the ground through their catalogue.

  26. r.... ....

    Go into your happy place with your copy of Babel, listen to Broken Crown. Then take Sigh no More & listen to Awake my Soul. If that doesn't work, you're hopeless.

  27. S.... ....

    are you kidding me? M+S are unjustifiably overhyped while they produce some of the most unadventurous and quite frankly forgettable folk music.

  28. r.... ....

    Oh you need to shut that noisemaker of yours, pal. Both bands are equally amazing.

  29. S.... ....

    just on its own destroys anything mumford and sons ever created

  30. s.... ....

    A-vett, rhyming with "hey", and -vette, like short for "Corvette"...

  31. L.... ....

    youre better than no one on this earth just based on your comment. chill and enjoy

  32. J.... ....

    Okay, I've been wondering about this for a while now; Is it pronounced 'aye vet' brothers or 'uh vet' brothers?

    J.... ....

    AYE VET

  33. F.... �....

    The Brass Teapot :)

  34. F.... E....

    Ooops. That song was fucking awesome before you even knew it was.
    The video was even better.

  35. d.... ....

    and you're a fool. Or obviously just don't need to listen to music of any sort. The Avett Brothers are extremely talented and were before the grammies.

  36. D.... T....

    the hexeract.....um no not at all this band does not suck and i know that was ur opinion just like this is mine but why they sing off tune and things like that is because they arent singing just to sing the r singing to express feelings for anybody and mabye the band itself people that like "off tune" singing listen because they dont care about the tunes they care about what is being said just like violent femmes...

  37. b.... d....

    Die Die Die

  38. K.... ....

    they are from my home town and we went to the same highschool, and I am f***ing stoked that they made it big. I hate this idea that your favorite artists shouldn't have a huge fan base and live off making music. Petty and stupid.

    K.... ....

    That's so nice of you :)

  39. a.... l....

    How about Narcissistic? Kind of mentally ill like the rest of us,huh? Go on now...where's your gratitude?

  40. C.... V....

    the nobody knows bit completely reminds me of weezer. back when they were good.

  41. j.... ....

    @thehexeract I first thought your post was the dumbest thing I have ever saw. Then I saw your techno upload and I realized you just havent acquired musical taste yet. One day you might understand music with substance like these guys (they both sing)

  42. M.... .....

    also the stole this video clip from MST3K

  43. M.... .....

    This band sucked before the Grammies, and they sucked after. Off key singing, formulaic song writing, they got popular for having a handsome front man.

    M.... .....

    Mack .Doggs hey shut up lad these guys are amazing tomorrow's my birthday and guess what kind of be playing this music call the vet Brothers

  44. 1.... ....

    very thankful my friend told me about these guys....:)

  45. 3.... ....

    haha dude you are hilarious,
    that was a sarcastic comment right?

  46. t.... ....

    I love how they came up with a mobile phone in this video, but it still has a turn dial.

  47. K.... ....

    i found dis beacuse i was trying to watch 2012 Parody Song Die Die Die and i found dis and i liked it so i came back im superior to both of u

  48. s.... m....

    DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE says a murderer stabbing an innocint civilian :)

  49. C.... ....

    ha was watching MST3K and saw the footage for this vid. awesome.

  50. E.... R....

    @npgaring An American Beatles.....no? Maybe?

    E.... R....

    Edmund Raines YES

  51. C.... S....

    Thank you Country Winston.

  52. m.... ....

    They both write great songs, shut up

  53. D.... B....

    Video Is Irrelevant**

  54. L.... S....

    -3*-3*-3*-3*-3

  55. E.... M....

    This song was in Keith Harkin's video of him tying his shoes.

  56. I.... N....

    @iceaxe56 ..........................

  57. i.... ....

    I think they stole this from weezer---this is the only song that sounds different from the rest of their songs

  58. R.... B....

    this song is so sweet !

  59. t.... ....

    @EnclosedSilence
    You, sir, win the internets.

  60. 3.... ....

    @fburdelliv I love you for that comment

  61. F.... B....

    @sanctuary1221 Oh yeah, well I'm such a pretentious hipster that I don't even watch the Grammies. >>Obviously superior.

  62. 3.... ....

    REAL MUSIC

  63. 3.... ....

    this make me smile

  64. w.... ....

    @npgaring definitely not country man...and the weezer thing, its just the harmonizing thats making you think that. great song. great band. weezer is good too.

  65. J.... M....

    If these guys don't inspire you nothing will. I love The Avett Brothers!

  66. B.... L....

    These guys are just flat out phenomenal...

  67. s.... ....

    @bschoe2 or just know your weezer.. this is quite a bit like the old, better, weezer

  68. R.... B....

    look, i like weezer. ok enough. but this is NOT weezer. its not the same style, not the same sound, i mean come on- will someone post a weezer song that reminds you of the avett brothers? i just dont see it.

  69. B.... ....

    Hey guys " Lyric from song we just listened too"

  70. M.... ....

    hahaha "for some reason she wanted to talk to someone [drug dealer]....and their song could write itself!" hahahaha

  71. M.... ....

    @JohnsHouseofFun this person's comment deserves to be in the highest rated. hahah it's too perfect.

  72. A.... N....

    @JohnsHouseofFun right when i read what u said i scrolled up and BAM the angel was sprinkiling coke. good call.

  73. J.... T....

    The angel kept peppering her with cocaine, and by the end of the film they couldn't remember why they were unhappy to start with.

  74. T.... S....

    @castertunes1967 I can't help but hear ALOT of the Beatles in their music. (sorry, don't know enough weezer songs)

  75. H.... ....

    reminds me of modest mouse alot

  76. J.... C....

    avetts + mystery science theater short = success.

  77. S.... T....

    I love this song! sometimes I feel silly for walking around the house singing, "die die die, die die die, die..." :D

  78. N.... W....

  79. J.... W....

  81. n.... ....

    Weezer gone country? Please don't degrade the Avett Brothers.

  82. j.... ....

    @ ISXIXH the song is "The Perfect Space"

  83. S.... ....

  84. K.... W....
