Discover the story of the song > I Just Died Like an Aviator – Matthew Ryan

The lyrics are about the protagonist feeling really down and everything in his life falling apart. He compares his life to an aviator who crashed and died. The protagonist feels like he's dying inside, with his heart hurting a lot. He hears people calling him a loser, and thinks that everything is meaningless. He drinks and smokes to cope with his pain. In the end, he pleads for the listener to not die or disappear because they are needed.
