Song Meaning of “About to Die” by Dirty Projectors
“About to Die” is a song about the fragility of life and how your mortality can come without warning. The narrator reflects on their life and all the things they wanted to do but haven’t had the chance yet. They think of their family, friends and loved ones and the sadness each of them will feel when they will soon be gone. They feel lost, confused and isolated but also at peace knowing that they will be reunited with those they have loved and lost before. The song is a reminder to cherish life while it’s here and never take anything for granted.
