Everything Dies

*Play this song on YouTube.*

"**Everything Dies**" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their fifth album *World Coming Down*, released in 1999. It has some alternative rock riffs with a doom metal intro. The song is split into two cantos. The first canto is the title one comprising the body of this song, and the second canto titled "They're All Dead" is the acoustic outro lasting for the last 80 seconds of the nearly 8-minute track. The verses contain samples of faint seagull mews.

This song is about his wish that several of his family members (his uncle, aunt, and father) are still alive (plus his mother might soon die), and that in order for him to see them again, he wishes to die.

It is one of two singles released from this album (along with "Everyone I Love Is Dead") and this track is also included on the compilation albums *The Least Worst Of* and *The Best of Type O Negative* as well as on DVD *Symphony for the Devil*.

There is an official music video for this song.

## Lyrics

**[Canto I. "Everything Dies"]**

I like vitamins

I like vitamins

I like vitamins

I like vitamins

(He likes vitamins)

I like vitamins

(He likes vitamins)

I like vitamins

(He likes vitamins)

Well I loved my aunt

But she died

And my uncle Lou

Then he died

I'm searching for something which can't be found

But I'm hoping

I still dream of dad

Though he died

Everything dies

Everything dies

My ma's so sick she might die

Though my girl's quite fit she will die

Still looking for someone who was around

Barely coping

Now I hate myself

Wish I'd die

Everything dies

Everything dies

Everything dies

Everything

(No why)

Oh god I miss you

(No why)

Oh god I miss you

I really miss you

(no no no no)

(No why)

Oh god I miss you

(No why)

Oh god I miss you

I really miss you

I like vitamins

(He likes vitamins)

I like vitamins

(He likes vitamins)

I like vitamins

(He likes vitamins)

Everything dies

Everything dies

Everything dies

Everything

(no no no no)

Everything dies

Everything dies

Everything dies

Everything
