If you shift your idealism toward philosophy while listening to these lyrics and envision "you" being the shadow self and all of our fears within the confines of morality and watch the process of accepting our fate to inevitably die, you can see the shift as "she" or wisdom is attained through this level of integration and it just makes the song 1000x better to me.
You, look at me now With those hollow eye sockets and smile And it seems all a lie What they've told me so far And you, show me that life Isn't all about extending your time No, it's the perfect time for a bottle of wine And why, do I still care? About all who might recall me For everything dies, so does memory And why, am I still surprised? About all who pray their sins away Aren't they too a part of this grand ballet? When time occurs Don't make it right Don't make me right It's me to decide This or that side This or that side Death, suits you dear sir Like a beautiful coat but then without all the fur I wonder would it fit me? What would you have me prefer? You know some people'd rather not exist They put a gun to the heart or a knife to the wrist We ought to think they aren't smart It could be something I missed Right then, she kisses my skin I don't know what this is or where to begin This fills me up with bliss Don't tell me this was a dream And she, shows me that life Isn't all about explaining your time No, it's the perfect time to lay all night When time occurs Don't make it right Don't make me right It's me to decide This or that side I need your word Leave it aside Just don't make me right It's me to decide This or that side This or that side This or that side You, look at me now With that burning cigar hanging out of your mouth And it seems all a lie What they've told me so far

wow. u put it in a really good way.
I like to think that "she" is death
The words are deep as I expected. Even more nuanced that I thought.
You, look at me now
With those hollow eye sockets and smile
And it seems all a lie
What they've told me so far
And you, show me that life
Isn't all about extending your time
No, it's the perfect time for a bottle of wine
And why, do I still care?
About all who might recall me
For everything dies, so does memory
And why, am I still surprised?
About all who pray their sins away
Aren't they too a part of this grand ballet?
When time occurs
Don't make it right
Don't make me right
It's me to decide
This or that side
This or that side
Death, suits you dear sir
Like a beautiful coat but then without all the fur
I wonder would it fit me?
What would you have me prefer?
You know some people'd rather not exist
They put a gun to the heart or a knife to the wrist
We ought to think they aren't smart
It could be something I missed
Right then, she kisses my skin
I don't know what this is or where to begin
This fills me up with bliss
Don't tell me this was a dream
And she, shows me that life
Isn't all about explaining your time
No, it's the perfect time to lay all night
When time occurs
Don't make it right
Don't make me right
It's me to decide
This or that side
I need your word
Leave it aside
Just don't make me right
It's me to decide
This or that side
This or that side
This or that side
You, look at me now
With that burning cigar hanging out of your mouth
And it seems all a lie
What they've told me so far
whateverwewewewewew r. Re
one of the best song writers of our time 🤍
Truee
people really drop poetry books, as a profession, that don't come even close to the experience that is reading these lyrics
The best singer
Such an amazing words and music
So underrated ❤️
I need your word
Leave it aside
Beautiful
wrong lyrics 1:58 to 2:01, it's "What would you have me prefer" and not "What do you think I'd prefer"
I think there are 2 versions of the song
Amazing

is "she" death?
If so then wow
For me "you" is death and "she" is life, so the autor is learning with them.
