"We can ride along in perfect time..." are the missing lyrics here. He's describing Nascar. Although in a live version he clearly says "We can learn a long and perfect turn..."
as someone who grew up skateboarding and is fortunate enough to still be able to do it, i can say that skateboarding has lost something, its not how it used to be, the attitude, the "you can be yourself" vibe is all missing and now its all about whos the best not having fun like it was in the dying to live days. this song allows me to return to those days and pretend its still all good.
The lyrics is 'We can ride along in perfect time' also 'all speeding past the line and thrashing, I'm in paradise. ' should be 'all speeding past the line and crashing, I'm in paradise. '
@hxcteenagekicks I use the word dig as in like. Your comment confused me, doesn't happen very often. Good fix man, I need the lyrics for this song, gonna be playing it solo with a loopstation and a slide guitar in a couple of weeks, really want to end with a cover, figured this would be epic. Thanks again mate
I love this song, the problem is that I dont get it all what the song is saying, or the lyrics, cause it has alot of words in english im not familiar with since im from Finland, fuck i wish i knew exactly what they say, anyone wanna tell me in a nutshell what the song is about, i'd appreciate it so much!! Thanks!! I know it says something about dying and stuff but too much words i dont know the meaning of.
@emilyrl theoretically though is every song not about some element of the world? its like saying saying a movie is about life. Really it tells you nothing. you could say it about every movie ever made. it means nothing.
@sakarilind It's about North Carolina as most of their songs were. "Standing at the gates of NC State Fair", "Underneath the Arcade" there was a great record store in Chapel Hill.
@sakarilind - hmm, it is impossible to have a translation because it is vague, full of imagery and phrases but no real coherence. It's a great song, I feel it in my gut and like it.
This is the last song of the last Archers of Loaf record. And it is different than most of their stuff. So to me this is Eric Bachman saying "so long, farewell Archers. I am off on a new path, more cerebral, and sparse, and hard to grasp lyrics."
@TheTrooper80 I saw 'em like, 13 years ago. Freakin' amazing band, believe me. They broke up in the late nineties/early new millenium, so you better start praying for a reunion tour...
One of my all time favorite songs... I had my daughter singing this (trying) when she was four- That was 10 years ago and it goes on every mix cd (remember tape?) we make.
It was the first skating video i ever purchased. I think I watched the credits 100 times just to hear this song again. I didn't remember the name of the song, but i had the lyrics to part of it. Hooray for Google.
@mrmouth92 Reading what you said is making me NEED to see the Girl, Osiris & DC skate videos from around that time. I haven't skated properly since 2004. Life was much brighter back then
now i have to watch dying to live

After watching dying to live, this song got me so stoked to skate. The good old days when no distance was to far to ride on your board.
