Band: Crash Test Dummies Standard tuning Tabs by JuliusH My first tab so could play the song. Please improve on it if you can :) I threw out a stupid common paperweight And it went out into the country To a place where other solid objects lie around Well it’s quite hard and so it’s probably still there And when I die it will still be somewhere === CHORUS === Ha-ha I’m outlived by that thing and stupid things like that -------------- A man once took a very famous photograph Went in books and even lectures Said it was a monster in the old Loch Ness Before he died his wife gave him a backrub He confessed his lie he took the picture in the bathtub === CHORUS === Ha-ha he’s outlived by that thing and stupid things like that -------------- Scientists have recently just found out About a fish they didn’t know of That lives along the bottom of the darkest seas It doesn’t need eyes it’s been there a long while Since back in the times of giant flying reptiles === CHORUS === Ha-ha I’m outlived by that thing and stupid things like that Ha-ha I’m outlived by that thing and stupid things like that

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson aborde de manière humoristique le contraste entre la durabilité des objets inanimés et la fragilité de la vie humaine. L'idée principale est que certaines choses, que l’on pourrait considérer comme insignifiantes ou banales, peuvent perdurer bien après notre départ. L'artiste évoque des exemples, comme un simple presse-papiers qui se retrouve à la campagne, ou une fameuse photographie d’un prétendu monstre, révélant la vérité en fin de vie de son créateur. Le contexte met en lumière les absurdités de la vie et joue sur la notion que des éléments du quotidien et des découvertes scientifiques peuvent survivre à nos existences éphémères, soulignant ainsi une forme d'ironie à travers ces petites réflexions sur le temps et l'immortalité des choses.
