  • Hmm hmmm penis.

  • Today's my birthday......

  • Gosh all these comments are a bit of a joke. Doesnt really matter what the song means.

  • I feel like there are many meanings that could be taken from the song. Is this man being described in the video suicidal? Absolutely is it a just reason to be suicidal? Who knows that is completely up to the discretion of the listener. At the end of the song the man regrets his choice... since obviously none of us have committed suicide who is to say that you or I would not immediately regret this decision once it was made. Everyone has been here in their head whatever the reason.

  • @robbiebize Well I don't think he actually commits suicide. That's why he wants death for his birthday. If he wanted suicide he could do that himself. I think he goes through life and eventually dies like everyone else, but the point is that he never appreciated life. He was so focused on death that all the good things he had didn't matter to him. The last words are supposed to be spoken before he dies, so I assume he's dying slowly, but in the end he just wants another chance to live.

  • Max already said this song is about someone who's been given a decent life, and appreciates it, but not enough because he thinks his life after death will be much more peaceful. While Maxx is religious he feels that people should appreciate this life as if it were there only; whether or not there is an afterlife. That's why at the end, upon dying the man ask for another chance to live.

  • either way you look at this song its perfectly sums up my life.

  • When he says "Life" He means a girl who he loves ( shes his life) but she has a boyfriend

  • @LilMaddieMargxoxo or he's actually talking about life :|

  • People, this song is literally about being suicidal. Nothing more.

  • No an even better meaning!!! He looks and lives like a normal guy. But he's loves death. As well as life. So every year on his birthday he go's out and kills people. He hopes he can become normal and just enjoy his normal life. But all he can think of all year is his birthday and all the bad stuff he wants to do. Until he dies unexpectedly and so still even in death wishes only to have one more chance to kill people. The end. Wichita is a happy ending because the bad guy died. THUmBs UP THIS IF

  • The coisr can sound like a third person. Someone who sees other people not caring about their lives and it makes him so sick to see that he wants death for his birthday. Until he sees a man wanting to live a little longer. That's why the third guys cores ends so abruptly. I'd like to think that the guy singing the cores( the third person) is somehow immortal or very very old. So he wants to die. I'm planing to make a video to this with my friends. Suggestions are welcome.

  • It's about a man living his life and getting all kinds of blessings but not appreciating any of them. He doesn't love himself and barely loves anything around him and then one day he is dying and regrets it asking for just a little more time. I think this song is about a coward

  • I was singing the chorus and my mom put me in therapy. :/

  • @KeeganB314 Fuuuuuugghhh

  • @KeeganB314 haha sick

  • it my birthday in a few hours =]

  • its my b'day tomorrow :')

  • my friend got me into this band! there pretty cool! def like this song.

  • i think it's about an angsty teen who wants to kill himself because he thinks that life has no time for him , because it's too busy giving other people everything they want. even at the happiest times in his life , he only see's the other great things he doesn't have. he doesn't want to really die , he just doesn't think he has a life , and figures " why bother " that's just my take. try pizza with whipped cream , it's actually surprisingly delicious. ( not joking )

  • Does anyone know were to get the Acoustic version... I need to perform a song

  • its my birthday and i cant stop listening to this song

  • But everyone saying they want death for their birthday missed the point of this shit.

    This boy keeps asking for death, he hates life, and he finally gets it (i can't tell if he kills himself) and he realizes he didn't want that at all.

  • He loves life, but he can't have it. It has a boyfriend.

  • goddammit say anything is so fucking good, fuck the haters who say they suck, i know its not a very strong argument lmfao but seriously max bemis has to be one of the best lyricists of his time

  • I used this for my song on my birthday literally.

  • life has a boyfriend is a pretty solid line :)

  • This song is going to be played all day January 12th

  • @SmokedSober and the 11th ;D

    happy almost birthday to us

  • say anything is the most talented band i know.

  • Penis?

  • My birthday is on January 9th. This would be nice.

  • @siriustoast happy birthday for then, mine's tomorrow (3rd January woop woop :D)

  • My birthday is tomorrow and this is just what I needed :)

  • I'm addicted to this song.

  • I don't love 4:04 :(

  • I love this song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

  • sometimes say anything makes me feel stupid because i cant understand the metaphors >:l

  • @paintdataint It's talking about how people live to die because they believe in an afterlife that is easier and better than the life we're living. At the end of the song where it says "just one more birthday" the person who wanted to die changes his mind and decides he hates that he wasted this life and wants more time.

  • a song that, once started, must be heard to the end.

  • love ^_^

  • And then what if life was a lesbian? o_0 comon guys its a pretty obvious phrase to interpret thats what i love about say anything <3

  • I LOVE SAY ANYTHING IN A TOTALY NOT GAY WAY!!!!!!!!!!

  • i love how everyone has commented about health care and gays on here, for a song called Death For My Birthday, but the best band ever. Tards. Max is straight. and has a smokin hot wife. Discussion over.

  • ♪♫ LOVE LOVE LOVE this song

  • 63,600 views? That's it? but.... WHY?

  • Hey katty, maybe its time to disable the comments again lol.

    Honestly its what I would do.

    Love this song btw. Going to see them in a month!!

  • @xadpx where at? i'm seeing them at lupos in providence!

  • @katty81690 no fuckin way RI!? me too! i'm driving 6 hours there with my buddy! Co-headliner with MCS = FUCKIN AWESOME!

  • @redstonefreedoms yup! i'm driving 2 hrs from CT lol

  • I honestly dont care if your gay or straight, but when you say your bi, that i just dont agree on, im sorry if this is ignorant, but bisexuals just want to mess around with both, and i dont think thats right, i just dont agree with bisexuality.

  • @p16708 You may disagree with bisexuality, but that does not change that fact some people are, in fact bisexual, and I think that the song makes perfect sense if you understand it the way Wordsyouforget does

  • @bugglyhi

    oh i know that, its their own choice and im not going to do anything to change it, you can be bisexual and be my friend, and i would treat you as i would treat any of my friends, whether there gay, straight or bisexual. All im saying is i dont agree with the messing around of both sexes, but its not like im going to push it into some ones face.

  • @bugglyhi oh and i agree, it does make sense,

  • I think he says life has a boyfriend because to him this girl IS his life. and his life has a boyfriend

  • for my birthday hmmmm i wish i could have my xgf back 

  • Anyone who has a problem with Katty's Sexuality be she gay or straight can suck it what does it matter bitches need to be more accepting fucking dorks (whale penis, not idiot)

  • @ahyoubastards i agree with you, also im bisexual

  • Canadian beer sucks

  • i love this song. i sing this song every were i go.

  • fudge this song! I love it! <3

  • Now this is like my theme song

  • Poppy done right(:

  • Best. Outro. EVER.

  • I am in love with this song. My co-workers must think I'm weird when singing this at work. Laughs.

  • to Emoness93 well life is a bitch so thats a yes

  • Wow that was some nice song ... i had a while to listen to a song with meaningful lyrics !

  • if life has a BF goes that make it a girl?

  • @Emoness93 i don't think so, i think it's a metaphor. like, "i love her, but she has a boyfriend" sort of thing? i'm probably wrong, though, haha. i think max explained this song in an interview, though.

  • @katty81690 well that would make sence =D

  • @katty81690 i think your right there, the 1st thing i thought when i heard it (after i stopped laughing randomly while walking home from work when it came on on my ipod), was it was prob a girl, mint song =]

  • @katty81690 People say "Lifes a bitch" Bitch=Female dog. Btich=Female? Maybe? I dont know....

  • @katty81690 no you're absolutely right that's what the lyric means

  • @katty81690 It is kinda like a metaphor but not in that way. This man does not want to live anymore and although he "loves life" (living), he has no peace and he thinks that he can find said peace through death. In the end he realizes that he was wrong to wish for death and asks for "just one more birthday"

  • @katty81690 "Its a metaphor fool" ;D

  • @katty81690 it's that she IS his life. He's using (Life+her) as meaning the same thing.

  • @katty81690 I think that it's that, she is his everything. So therefore, she is his life. Without her, life isn't worth living, but "life" has a boyfriend. I think "Life" is just him describing her, so just switch life for her or she and it works. However, that's just my interpretation.

  • @Emoness93 I would believe so.

  • @Emoness93 i think it just means that he wants death because life is unavailble.

  • @Emoness93 unless life is gay

  • @Emoness93 yeah i think so, kuz life is a B****

  • @Emoness93 im pretty sure hes talking about a chick.... the chick being his life... but she has a boyfriend.... :/

  • @Emoness93 I know you commented a while ago, but I just have to say this:

    Life is omnisexual. It fucks with everyone. ;D

  • @lsugirl123 hahaha.. sooo verry true! xD

  • @Emoness93 or it can mean life is gay! :)

  • @Emoness93 I think it means that a girl is his whole life but she has a boyfriend and hence he is out to destroy them. I can relate.

  • @Emoness93 this isn't the only song where he writes/talks from the point of view of a girl

  • @cartlidge1313 i know that. im just saying. IF he wasn't speaking metaphorically.

  • @cartlidge1313 This is, ah... this isn't from a girl's POV.

  • @Emoness93 It's a metaphor for seeing something and wanting something, but not being able to have it.

  • @Emoness93 I think it means, I love life but life has a bf, meaning life dosent love me.

  • @IndieRockrocks1 so far i like this comment so far. and i've been getting lots of comments on it.

    this is my fav one :D

  • @Emoness93 Thank you =) Max is so conplex and so amazing. He dosent even know who i am, and he has helped me threw my life and i think thats what makes a good singer.

  • @IndieRockrocks1 He's help more than just you. And the best part is that he doesn't even know that he has. He could suspect that he might have help some people, but it's probably more than he would ever think of.

  • @Emoness93 i dont think so i think it would mean that he loves life but things are making it hard for him to stand it or such o_o" its hard to explain

  • @Emoness93 No, it makes life a bitch. (Get it?)

  • @Emoness93 yeah hes talking about how she was his 'life' so therefore his life has a bf =P

  • @Emoness93 I bet life is hot! :)

  • @Proby949 better be. xD

  • @Emoness93

    It's common knowledge that life is a bitch.

  • How about everyone stop arguing and we all be happy and listen to the awesome song :D

  • This makes me happy.

  • why are people "arguing" on here? Just kick back and enjoy the music...

  • thank you for not giving out a download link how will they be able to keep making music if everyone is stealing it

  • Katty has an attitude. Bahaha.

  • Amazing♥

    i love this song

  • just wondering, but how does the quality of health care and its benifits get brought up on a song? even one about some dude wanting death as a birthday present? isn't that type of conversation what blogs are for? jw, ppl, so don't like spaz out at me here.

  • @Alexa16913 i accidently bought up canada in an "argument" on here. lol. oh well.

  • Hahahahahahaha, healthcare debate. Anyway, I love this song, so there

  • @chargerfootball24 im pretty sure i made it clear on another video that ur the coolest person ever...all u other people agruing about healthcare??wtf go suck a cock.

  • "I want death, death for my birthday,

    I want death, death in the worst way,

    I want death, death for my birthday,

    Don't get me wrong 'cause

    I love life, but life has a boyfriend" <3 love it, and love Max Bemis

  • There whole cd is amazing

  • their whole discography is amazing =]

  • @raulfrausto eff yeah it is

  • haha. i love this song <3

  • Best song

  • Best song ever. Say Anything ~ <333

  • OMG PEOPLE. this song is a testament to the power and beauty of life, although it may hardly ever seem that way; it shows that even if your entire life is filled with reasons to make you want to escape it, in the end you will want to hold on to that life more than you want anything.

  • it sounds to me like even though their lives may be good, they still want death.

  • Screw all your "what countries better" crap. Say Anything rocks! One of the best! =)

  • @BrianRyczek agreed!

  • this is the happiest sounding song though its about death :] haha i love max bemis who cares about canada

  • ...Canada is involved with the band Say Anything? o.o

  • Canada DOES have Universal Health Care, which is an automatic pwn over the US of A's heath care system. But we have Disney World, so it evens out.

    But why are we even discussing Canada on this song? I'm confused!

  • @thelolbubble Lets see here. Everyone has healthcare, and everyone shares doctors. Lets just see how long the waiting lists are. Hmmm. 2 years for an MRI? I don't see that as a pwn on anything.

  • @stealapenguin: Oh, I don't know. It might be a pwn to someone who would have never been able to afford a MRI otherwise, and needs one. It might be a pwn to a parent who's child is dying and who can't afford to pay any medical bills and is so forced to watch their child die. Just a few examples.

  • @thelolbubble I'd rather not be on a waiting list for several years to receive the Kidney I need, or to even get into a regular doctor for a checkup. I'd rather work and know that I have health care because I earned it. The people that don't have it, haven't earned it. There is money out there to be made, and Healthcare to be had.

  • ps everyone, this whole argument about canada started out by a comment i made to HPxBluntsx below. so we can stop now....

  • @stealapenguin well first of all when you NEED a kidney you're bumped to the top of a list, the people who wait 2 years are ones who dont need one, but it would improve their quality of life. second i could call my doctor and get in to see him tomorrow if not today. thirdly if you actually paid attention to your countrys job situation you would know that there are not 300 million plus jobs that give health care benefits.

    thanks for the ignorance though.

  • i waited 2 days for my MRI.....not 2 years...where do you live?

  • thank you for not being an ignorant liberal.

  • Nel mondo di Hello Kitty! Molto sexy nella seconda foto con le autoreggenti!!

  • Horay for random arguments on Say Anything songs, horay!

  • @HPxBluntsx

    well, if canada is so great, why does half ur population come to america every year? sure, the only things u have over the US are: Moose hunting, Maple Syrup, and the lovely weed. Other than that, we kick the fuck out of you pussys. I have an authentic Canadian Rifle.. Picked up and dropped once, does it belong to your pussy ass?

  • fail.

    people like you are the reason america isn't all that popular in the view of the world.

    now if you could, stfu, because nobody here wants to listen to your childish "my country's gonna beat up your country" arguments.

  • uhmmm honestly

    canada is cold as balls and like half of your land is undeveloped and just straight maple trees. Its fair to say your fore-founders picked a shitty spot for a colony, or well maybe we just beat u guys to the MERICA spot =D

  • @knucleduster223

    wow, uhm honestly, you sound like a pathetic ignorant idiot. Did your dumb parents teach you that? Or maybe your just dumb enough to think that canada is half undeveloped. Ya we got more trees than you, but for sure isnt a shitty spot, I fuckin run down mountains for fun man. You don't do shit like that in Amurica.

  • HAHA funny joke cause im an adirondack 46er and have through hiked the appalacian trail, so suck it liek sap out of a maple tree

  • I wanna do that! I go to SUNY Pburgh. Where are u?

  • Go NY!! SUNY B-Port here!!

  • @knucleduster223 i'm pretty sure the colonys that started america and canada were started by the same people actually.

    also the maple trees are primarily out east.

  • @knucleduster223 i'm pretty sure the colonys that started america and canada were started by the same people actually.

    also the maple trees are primarily out east.

  • number one america rules, we saved your ass in vietnam, and i want some respect canada.

  • @lambofmatt

    you probably didnt save any asses, you probably havnt ever gone to war you fool. Blow me before you ask for some respect

  • uhm hey cupnoodles, i was joking, hence we saved your ass in vietnam, so dude fuck you, and the blow you before i ask for respect, man thats just weird, way to try a youtube fight, just die douchebag. go fuck yourself.

  • we did/ we are united/ and you are aboot half dumb

  • great song but the best part is the last 30 seconds, really closes the song nicely

  • if you would do your research you would learn a lot of things...about stuff.

  • and things!

  • haha people who argue on youtube u make me giggle insideXD

  • i don't think this song is really about death. idk, i kinda think its about how people ask for stuff, and keep on asking, and when they finally get it, they want to take it back. People always want more, no matter how amazing there life is.

  • @everyone who uses the @sign to signify who your talking to. just send them a message saying you disagree and why. dont just fill up the comment section w/ arguements...

  • hooray suicide!

  • @HowlinMadMurD0C i have loving family members and errr, i love them tooo (: i just love this song as well. i also hate people who go on about suicide. doesn't mean i can't like the music. maybe don't attempt to psyco analyse EVERYONE who listens to a song you don't appreciate. WE DON'T LIKE YOU EITHER (:

  • i love this song

  • I love this song.<3

    And HowlinMadMurD0C, this music isn't just for "rich kids", you're trying to sound smart and you just sound ignorant.

    Say anything is one of my favorite bands :3

    Thank you for uploading this n_n

  • i think the reason why we all like say anything is cuz we can relate to them... agreed? lol but ya rich kid statement was gay.

  • hey HowlinMadMurD0C, your name suits you. You could also call yourself HowlinMadCrazyPsychopathMurDOC­, that would work too. I'm the poorest of poors so shut yer friggin yapper ya loco.

  • He nailed a note to gods front door that said:

    I want death,death for my brithday.

    Don't get me wrong i love life..But life has a boyfriend..

    Bless my soul

    Im out to distroy them!! ;D

    I went death for my birthday..

    For my BIRTHDAYY

    lol^

    :]]]

  • Comment removed

  • Whats wrong howlinMadMurdoc daddy never hugged you? You have some serious issues dude. in real life nobody wants your opinion.

  • stfu :]

  • @HowlinMadMurD0C dude your so gay hahahaha you know none of our lives so shut up and just because i listen to this song doesn't mean i want to kill myself i just like this song

  • @akatsuki954 what is the name of the album

  • @MrTehnaruto444 im not sure yet but im gonna get it

  • @akatsuki954 it is say anything

  • Murdoc: Wake up, baby. Not everyone is like that.

  • If you would do your research this song is about the singers father who hated his life. then when he was dieing in the hospital he just wanted 2 live to have one last birthday. so stop being an asshole and go listen to ur genre of music.

  • if you would do your research, you would know that max bemis's father is still alive. so stop being an asshole and listen to something simple like justin beiber.

  • shut the fuck up i wasnt even talking to u. I was talking to murdoc. and if u would look at my channel ud know that im a pot head. i dont think any pot heads would listen to a little bitch faggot justin beiber

  • LOL. why not? you're both canadian. i thought you all had a pact or something.

  • Oh ur so funny, making fun of a country thats better than urs. u just looked so stupid. fucking americans.

  • I'M ACTUALLY HILARIOUS

  • @katty81690 HAHAHAHAHA kudos!!!
