Life Is Beautiful Lyrics by Lil Peep

It reflects pain, depression, and harsh realities, using the phrase life is beautiful to highlight life’s struggles in a haunting, thoughtful way.

Verse 1

I know that it hurts sometimes, but it’s beautiful
Working every day, now you’re bleeding through your cuticles
Passing through a portal as you’re sittin’ in your cubicle
Isn’t life beautiful? I think that life is beautiful
Tryna keep your cool at your grandfather’s funeral
Finding out eventually the feeling wasn’t mutual
You were not invited ’cause you’re nothing like the usual
Isn’t life beautiful? I think that life is beautiful
You wanna see your friends, but you’re stuck inside a hospital
Doctor walks in and he tells you that it’s terminal
Tumor in your brain and they’re sayin’ it’s inoperable
Isn’t life beautiful? I think that life is beautiful
They’ll kill your little brother and they’ll tell you he’s a criminal
They’ll fucking kill you too, so you better not get physical
Welcome to America, the type of shit is typical
Isn’t life beautiful? I think that life is beautiful

Verse 2

Wake up in the morning, now you doing the impossible
Find out what’s important, now you’re feeling philosophical
When I die, I’ll pack my bags, move somewhere more affordable
Isn’t life horrible? I think that life is horrible
You think she’s adorable, she thinks that you’re intolerable
You think you can do it, but your chances are improbable
Once you feel unstoppable, you run into an obstacle
Isn’t life comical? I think that life is comical

Verse 3

And if you ever need a friend, then you got me
And in the end, when I die, would you watch me?
And if I try suicide, would you stop me?
Would you help me get a grip or would you drop me?
Run away, make friends with the moon
Why you trippin’? You’ll be with your friends soon
There comes a time everybody meets the same fate
I think I’ma die alone inside my room

Outro

Isn’t life beautiful? I think that life is beautiful
Isn’t life beautiful? I think that life is beautiful
Isn’t life beautiful? I think that life is beautiful
Isn’t life beautiful? I think that life is beautiful

Life Is Beautiful Lyrics by Sixx:A.M. 

The lyrics are bold and raw, turning struggle into strength while reminding us that life’s darkest moments can reveal unexpected light.

Verse 1

You can’t quit until you try
You can’t live until you die
You can’t learn to tell the truth
Until you learn to lie

Pre-Chorus

You can’t breathe until you choke
You gotta laugh when you’re the joke
There’s nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive

Chorus

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Verse 2

I know some things that you don’t
I’ve done things that you won’t
There’s nothin’ like a trail of blood
To find your way back home

Pre-Chorus

I was waitin’ for my hearse
What came next was so much worse
It took a funeral to make me feel alive

Chorus

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Breakdown

Bridge

Alive
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Chorus

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry at my funeral?
