Lazarus Effect Lyrics Meanings
by Nick Courmon

These poems make my peers immortal
Picking up this pen is like the creation of a portal that transports us back to a time
When everything was fine
These poems serve as a source of revival
Resurrecting my guys like they're a main character in the Bible
Wishing these sonnets could have led to their survival
When I write or type words, I bring my brothers back to life
This is the Lazarus Effect
I refuse for my memories of them to live in debt to death
My friendships to deceased loved ones vary in depth, but the truth is I want to bring
Breath to their legacy
Sometimes tears get the best of me
Thinking about my homies' last moments on earth be stressing me,
And I hate it
Feeling like God is testing me
I have a looming feeling of melancholy
It's gotten so hard for me to shake it
But these poems give the lost ones new life
One where death isn't the price we pay
And sometimes I feel like Kendrick on
"Sing About Me I'm Dying of Thirst"
Immortalizing my peers who left earth first
Through these words in each verse that I write
Feeling haunted by the memories I've shared with people who
Are on a first-name basis with the Grim Reaper
Thinking about how some of them had open caskets to accompany open cases
Remembering the smiles on their faces and how they're no longer here in the physical
Sometimes making it harder for me to believe in the spiritual
Because why do the good have to die young
Why do parents have to bury their sons
Why are girlfriends being forced to attend funerals
Before they can become fiancés or wives
What good is it to be a decent person in a world
That wants to evict your soul from your body
And what does it mean to show morals
In an immoral society
