Lyrics of Unreleased Avicii Songs Highlight His Inner Turmoil Prior to Passing

Song lyrics written by Avicii tell of his anguish in the months leading up to his death.

Avicii's posthumous legacy has warmed the hearts of EDM fans across the globe, but it's equally capable of casting a shadow over his final days. Lyrics of songs he allegedly had yet to release have found their way to the public by way of Variety, painting a bleak picture of the Swedish superstar DJ/producer's frame of mind before his death.

While verses like "We’ll crack before we shatter / We can’t fall apart / We don’t get to die young" inspire hope, different ones portray darker themes. Other lines of the song read, "Starting to choke on / Your heart in your throat and / It feels just like / You can’t remember how to fight."

According to sources, Geffen Records has helped Avicii's surviving family members catalogue over 100 demos he left behind in various stages of completion. Neither would verify the authenticity of the lyrics, nor do they appear eager to release more of his music to the public.

Find the lyrics purportedly written by Avicii in the months leading up to his death below:

Crossbows and arrows The smoke in the shadows You’ll lose your mind Standing on the battle line Starting to choke on Your heart in your throat and It feels just like You can’t remember how to fight

We’ll crack before we shatter We can’t fall apart We don’t get to die young Trouble keeping our head sometimes We just have to push on We don’t get to give up this life All the breath in your lungs Is stronger than the tears in your eyes It’s do or die But we’re alive And while we’re here Will hold the line

Don’t hold your hands up It’s your final stand Put your white flag down Oh don’t you surrender now No hero’s story There’s no blaze of glory But dawn only comes At the end of the night

We’ll crack before we shatter We can’t fall apart We don’t get to die young Trouble keeping our head sometimes We just have to push on We don’t get to give up this life All the breath in your lungs Is stronger than the tears in your eyes It’s do or die But we’re alive And while we’re here Will hold the line
