Die Young

 

"Die Young" By Ke$ha Lyrics   

I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums

Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone

So while you're here in my arms

Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young

We're gonna die young

We're gonna die young

Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young

Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young

Young hearts, out our minds

Running 'til we outta time

Wild child's lookin' good

Living hard just like we should

Don't care who's watching when we tearing it up (You Know)

That magic that we got nobody can touch (For sure)

Looking for some trouble tonight (yeah)

Take my hand, I'll show you the wild, side

Like it's the last night of our lives (uh huh)

We'll keep dancing 'til we die

I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums

Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone

So while you're here in my arms,

Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young

We're gonna die young

We're gonna die young

Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young

Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young

Young hunks, taking shots

Stripping down to dirty socks

Music up, gettin' hot

Kiss me, give me all you've got

It's pretty obvious that you've got a crush (you know)

That magic in your pants, it's making me blush (for sure)

Looking for some trouble tonight (yeah)

Take my hand, I'll show you the wild, side

Like it's the last night of our lives (uh huh)

We'll keep dancing 'til we die

I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums

Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone

So while you're here in my arms,

Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young

I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums

Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone

So while you're here in my arms

Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young

We're gonna die young

We're gonna die young

Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young

 

If your reading this then it means that I have perished at the hands of Hamlet. He killed me with my own poison laced wine. He force fed me the wine from anger after Gertrude drank from the cup that I put poison in when I said during the duel between Laertes and Hamlet to the court that, "The king shall drink to Hamlet's better breath; And in the cup an union shall he throw, Richer than that which four successive kings In Denmark's crown have worn." (5.2.259-262) The glass itself was laced with poison. So when he force fed me the wine, I was posioned by my own wine when Laertes says "It is a poison temper'd by himself." (5.2.329) Alas I was not able to rid myself of Hamlet and his vengeful ways. Even England was tricked, they executed the wrong people, "To tell him his commandment is fulfill'd, That Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead:" (5.2.374-375) Hamlet tricked England when he says to Horatio that "Folded the writ up in form of the other, Subscribed it, gave't the impression, placed it safely, The changeling never known." (5.2.53-55) Hamlet was well informed of my actions, I believe someone was spying on me, but now that I am dead, I can't do anything about it.

I want this song, Die Young By Kesha to be played at my funeral. This song is perfect because it represents me. It shows how Gertrude and I got married when Kesha sings "Take my hand, I'll show you the wild, side" (Kesha) Gertrude and I getting married is shown in Hamlet's monologue, "...yet, within a month-- Let me not think on't--Frailty, thy name is woman!--" (1.2.145-146) These lines are similar in that they show how Gertrude accepted me as her husband and became my wife. The line "We'll keep dancing 'til we die" (Kesha) is about how I always celebrated for a long time when, I say "in grace whereof, No jocund health that Denmark drinks to-day, But the great cannon to the clouds shall tell, And the king's rouse the heavens all bruit again, Re-speaking earthly thunder. Come away." (1.2.124-128) I have always celebrated as if it were my last day to live, for I "die young" (Kesha) anyway. Hamlet kills me while I'm still in my prime as the younger brother of King Hamlet.

Although I am Gertrude's husband now, my brother was her husband before as stated in this line of the song: "Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone" (Ke$ha) which is the same as what Hamlet says: "So excellent a king; that was, to this, Hyperion to a satyr; so loving to my mother That he might not beteem the winds of heaven Visit her face too roughly." (1.2.139-142) It was a shame that she was with my brother when I love her even more than him! He didn't deserve her! I proved my love for her when I tried to stop her from drinking the posioned wine when I said "Gertrude, do not drink." (5.2.286) I have always loved her with all my heart!

I made the most of my brother's death by marrying Gertrude which relates to the line that Kesha sings: "Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young" (Kesha). In this line she is saying lets make most of what we have until we die which I did as Hamlet so clearly tells us, "...But two months dead..." (1.2.138) and in "...married with my uncle,..." (1.2.151) I mean like seriouskly, should I be like Hamlet who keeps mourning or just move on with my life and be happy which is exaclty what I did, I married Gertrude and lived happliy until Hamlet's maddness ruined things! Curse you Hamlet! You just had to ruin my life and kill me didn't you? Sigh this is my last post to you my beloved readers for now that I am dead I cannot write anymore. I would come back from the depths of death just to write more, but alas I cannot so this is good bye and good night!
