Rem - Wall of Death Lyrics
Lyrics Translation
"Wall of Death" by R.E.M. was released in 2008 as part of the Accelerate album. Written by Michael Stipe and the other band members, the song portrays the feeling of facing major, dangerous life challenges, as if caught in a wall of death, but still enduring and fighting through it.
Song lyrics
Let me ride on the wall of death one more time
Let me ride on the wall of death one more time
You can waste your time on the other rides
But this is the nearest to being alive
Let me take my chances on the Wall of Death
You can go with the crazy people in the crooked house
You can fly away on the rocket or spin in the mouse
The tunnel of love might amuse you
And Noah's Ark might confuse you but
Let me take my chances on the Wall of Death
On the Wall of Death
All the world is far from me
On the Wall of Death
It's the nearest to being free
Well, you're going nowhere when you ride on the carousel
And maybe you're strong, but what's the use of ringing a bell
The switchback will make you crazy
Beware of the bearded lady
Oh, let me take my chances on the Wall of Death
You are going nowhere when you ride on the carousel
And maybe you're strong, but what's the use of ringing a bell
The switchback will make you crazy
Beware of the bearded lady
Let me take my chances
Let me take my chances
Let me take my chances
