🎧YOU’LL LIKELY SURVIVE THESE 30 DEADLY SONGS is comprised of three new songs, in addition to songs that previously appeared on 🎧 Deadly Songs Unlikely to Leave You Literally Dead (Vol. 1), 🎧 Deadly Songs Unlikely to Leave You Literally Dead (Vol. 2), and 🎧 DEATH: 5ive Songs No. 51. The premise of the two former lists were songs that featured some form of the word DEAD in their respective title or are associated with the subject of death in some form or fashion. On this compendium of 30 songs, the premise is much the same. Here, the songs from all three aforementioned lists have been reordered, with some of the blurbs tweaked to make a more complete list.
Sure, there are far more than 30 songs dealing with deadly matters, but this is a pretty cool, enjoyable sampling all in all. Again, even the deadliest songs gracing these lists are just songs that won’t LITERALLY kill you – no worries. Appearing on YOU’LL LIKELY SURVIVE THESE 30 DEADLY SONGS are 🎙 Alicia Keys, 🎙 Billie Eilish, 🎙 grandson, 🎙 Panic! At the Disco, 🎙 Sam Smith, and 🎙 YoungBoy Never Broke Again among many others. So, without further ado, jump right into this deadly yet totally entertaining affair!
1. YoungBoy Never Broke Again, “Dead Trollz”
💿 Top • 🏷 Never Broke Again / Atlantic • 🗓 2020
Beyond the violent lyrics, YoungBoy Never Broke Again is unapologetic in other ways as well. On the same verse where those murders he takes responsibility occur, he also asserts, “I got meds in my kidney, sippin’ mud out the liter.” NOT GOOD! He also seems to have a point when he characterizes himself as “Devil baby, Satan seed” on the second verse. All of these disturbing assertions take place over a banging, minor-key backdrop produced by 🎙 Karltin Bankz, 🎙 London Blue, and 🎙 PlayboyXO. Hellish results to say the least. Clearly, Lil Top gives no Fs.
2. Alicia Keys, “Perfect Way to Die”
💿 Alicia • 🏷 RCA • 🗓 2020

4. Phoebe Bridgers, “Killer”
💿 Stranger in the Alps • 🏷 Dead Oceans • 🗓 2017
Bridgers may have her share of dark thoughts, but she doesn’t take it to the same level as Mr. Dahmer in the least. Still, she makes numerous killer references, though bloodlust seems to be an overstatement (thank goodness).

5. FINNEAS, “Die Alone”
💿 Blood Harmony [Deluxe] • 🏷 OYOY • 🗓 2020
“Die Alone” earns the distinction of being the longest record on Blood Harmony, approaching four-and-a-half-minutes in duration. Vocally, FINNEAS delivers a beautiful, expressive performance, never forcing things, yet packing the right amount of punch. In addition to his gorgeous tone, the vocal production itself is exceptional. In regard to the overall production, it’s also elite, characterized by the use of keyboards and of course, sounds O’Connell recorded in various places. “Die Alone” is quite thoughtful, and again, quite clever.

6. grandson, “Drop Dead”
💿 Death of an Optimist • 🏷 Fueled by Ramen / Elektra • 🗓 2020
“I’m a pothead, I’m a sinner / Got no hope, not a sliver / Rather drop dead than be a quitter,” Benjamin asserts on the high-flying chorus. OK… Well, clearly, um, he has his flaws, you might say. He goes on to say, “Shit, life ain’t fair, go figure / Rather drop dead than be a quitter.” For more context, on the verses of this alternative song, he references how life can be unfair and bad things happen. That said, he’ll be with you, though it all and is willing to die with you: “Even if we go up in flames, I’m a treat it all the same / Know they won’t forget the name for a lifetime.” Ah, the silver lining… I suppose…
7. Cattle Decapitation, “The Geocide”
💿 Death Atlas • 🏷 Metal Blade • 🗓 2019
Brutality is exemplified by the chorus:
“The universe, it always finds a way to purge The sustainably inappropriate numbers that once surged Death always wins, his molten torch forever burns And to the ashes and the ground we are returned Life exists to infuriate, berate, and subjugate The hapless mortals shit-birthed on a human-altered planet Earth.”

8. Ibeyi, “Deathless”
Ft. Kamasi Washington
💿 Ash • 🏷 XL • 🗓 2017
The vocals are absolutely stunning, particularly harmonized moments. In addition to the harmonies, the detail paid to each and every lyric – specific syllables – makes this a next-level performance. Following superb vocals and clearly lyrics on the verses, the chorus is exceptional. It’s catchy, latching the first time you hear it. The assertive, proclamatory vibe ‘gives life’:
“Whatever happens, whatever happened (Oh, hey) We are deathless! We are deathless!”
“Deathless” gets even better, thanks to contributions by one of the hottest jazz musicians of modern times, saxophonist 🎙 Kamasi Washington. His exquisite tone and thoughtful ad libs only accentuate the greatness served up by Ibeyi.

9. Sam Hunt, “Downtown’s Dead”
💿 Southside • 🏷 UMG Recordings, Inc • 🗓 2020
Thematically, the big picture is that Hunt is lost without ‘her.’ On the chorus, he asserts “Friday night it might as well be just another / Tuesday night without you.” That occurs after he sings the titular lyric, attaching identity to it: “Downtown’s dead without you.” Cleverly, the lyrics reference things associated with nightlight, city life, and illustrating the desire for a more personal as opposed to generic connection. It’s a respectable, enjoyable record all in all.

10. Hayley Williams, “Dead Horse”
💿 Petals for Armor • 🏷 Atlantic • 🗓 2020
“I beat it like a dead horse, I beat it like a drum / Oh, I stayed with you too long / Skipping like a record, but I sang along / To a silly little song /… A shitty never-ending song…” “Dead Horse” commences the second disc of Petals for Armor with a bang, referencing William’s divorce. The listener is blessed with ear catching production. The tone of the guitar, robustness of the bass, and the drum groove are utterly sublime. Not so deadly at all! The aforementioned chorus is quite catchy, with Williams showcasing ample personality, understandable given the personal nature of the track.

11. Jay Rock, “King’s Dead”
Ft. Kendrick Lamar, Future & James Blake
💿 Black Panther the Album Music from and Inspired By • 🏷 Interscope • 🗓 2018
“Fuck his baby mama tryna sneak diss I took her to my penthouse, then I freaked it I haven’t made my mind up, should I keep it? I got big dog status, it ain’t no secret.”
The bridge, mostly performed by Future, is bizarre, including the famous lyric, “Slob on [me] knob.” Later, James Blake initiates the second part of the song, in all his enigmatic, electronic excellence. Lamar then proceeds to go H.A.M. on the second verse of the song. The beat and overall sound remains hard-hitting.
“Red light, green light, red light, green light... Fast cars, fast money, fast life, fast broads Egotistic, goin’ ballistic, why God?”

13. Sam Smith, “To Die For”
💿 Love Goes • 🏷 Capitol • 🗓 2020
As with most Sam Smith songs, there are ample selling points. First and foremost, on “To Die For,” their voice sounds magical. They spoil us with rich, robust falsetto. Throughout this pop ballad, Smith sounds expressive, even with vocal effects added to the mix. Beyond the voice, 🎙 Stargate (🎙 Mikkel S. Eriksen and 🎙 Tor Hermansen) and 🎙 Jimmy Napes provide them a gorgeous canvas to paint upon vocally. It’s nothing too far-fetched or the least bit wild, but it suits the vocalist – the beat, and keyboards/programming, including the dramatic, warm strings.
Last but not least is the theme. Sam Smith doesn’t want to be alone – understandable. Like everybody else in the world, “I just want somebody to die for,” they sing throughout the chorus and bridge of the song. It’s especially relatable on the centerpiece, the chorus:
“Pink lemonade sippin’ on a Sunday Couples holding hands on a runway They’re all posing in a picture frame Whilst my world’s crashing down Solo shadow on a sidewalk Just want somebody to die for Sunshine livin’ on a perfect day While my world’s crashing down I just want somebody to die for.”
The lyrics and theme are relatable to anybody, regardless of sexual orientation, race, or otherwise. Vocally, Smith remains elite. Furthermore, Stargate and Jimmy Napes hook them up with strong production. All in all, “To Die For” is quite enjoyable – sound by all means.

14. Kali Uchis, “Dead to Me”
💿 Isolation • 🏷 Virgin • 🗓 2018
“But if there’s one thing that I know / Is that you ain’t a friend to me, uh oh / So don’t come for me unless I send for you / Know you’re dead to me.” After denouncing the ‘tyranny’ of “Tyrant” on her debut album, 💿 Isolation, Columbian-American R&B artist 🎙 Kali Uchis has no issues proclaiming ‘she’s done’ on 🎵 “Dead to Me.” Although the record is set in a minor key, and she’s clearly pissed off, “Dead to Me” is actually quite enjoyable and fun.
“You’re dead to me You’re obsessed, just let go You’re dead to me I’m not somebody you know You’re dead to me Could you just leave me alone? You’re dead to me.”
15. The Black Dahlia Murder, “How Very Dead”
💿 Verminous • 🏷 Metal Blade • 🗓 2020
Honestly, “How Very Dead” reveals its cards with its literal title. Lyrically, The Black Dahlia are explicit in, well, death. It’s over the top, but that’s the glory of metal, right? We’re absolutely screwed by the doctor on this record: “My overlooked credentials / A Hippocratic oath I’d sworn in hell.” Those lyrics definitely capture just ‘how very dead’ the victims will be, even if the point is made, “How very dead you were from the start.” Outlandish, but certainly intriguing.

17. Luke Bryan, “Born Here Live Here Die Here”
💿 Born Here Live Here Die Here • 🏷 Capitol Nashville • 🗓 2020
One of the biggest selling points is the chorus, which sums up the sentiment:
“Born here, live here, die here From the roots, to the boots, to the lay me down suit Yeah, I’m gonna be proud to be right here Just like my daddy, and his daddy did too Ride the same roads, work the same dirt Go to the same church and drink the same beer Born here, live here, die here Yeah.”
Besides those reminiscent lyrics, Luke Bryan delivers well-rounded vocals. Sure, the twang is heavy, but that’s what we’ve come to expect from the country singer. Also, the production suits Bryan characteristically, thanks to 🎙 Jeff Stevens and 🎙 Jody Stevens. All in all, he delivers another country hit that plays to his strengths, even if it doesn’t move the needle.

💿 Freddie • 🏷 ESGN / EMPIRE • 🗓 2018
“Take a bag, bust a lick, and run a check ho, a check ho Bet them VV’s in my neck glow I just might go throw a Rollie on my next ho Beat the pussy in the studio like Death Row, Death Row...”

19. 2 Chainz, “Dead Man Walking”
Ft. Future
🎵 “Dead Man Walking” • 🏷 Def Jam • 🗓 2020
Lots of things help make “Dead Man Walking” a kick ass banger. It starts with the hard-nosed production work, courtesy of 🎙 Buddah Bless. This is perfect fuel for 2 Chainz’s fire, on the intro (which lifts from the eventual chorus), and on the verse. On the verse, the rapper is ‘on top of the word,’ as he makes threats (“You and your homie are the same target / Put you both in the same coffin”), touts his money (“Richard Mille, six figures”), along with some head shakable lines – “I’m showin’ growth, had to dreadlock it.” As for Future, he’s definitely true to self. Sex (“Push up on ya exotic”), drugs (“I put codeine in my body”), and money (“Richard Mille coast a Bugatti”). Would you expect any less? The best moment, of course, is the chorus, in all its repetitive glory by Chainz:
“I see dead men walking I see dead men walking...”
Yeah, that’s honestly about the size of it. The pendulum isn’t moved on “Dead Men Walking,” but, it’s an enjoyable, head nodder. Does Budda Bless that beat? HELL YEAH he does!

21. Alec Benjamin, “Death of a Hero”
💿 Narrated for You • 🏷 Alec Benjamin • 🗓 2018
“Death of a Hero,” hence is a ‘deadly’ song, metaphorically speaking. Here, the singer/songwriter’s “Superman” exhibits his unflattering side, and the image of his hero is forever tarnished. There, my friends, is the metaphorical death.

22. blackbear, “Dead to Me”
💿 ANONYMOUS • 🏷 Beartrap / Alamo / Interscope • 🗓 2019
If the aforementioned lyrics or explanation didn’t make things crystal clear, the chorus definitely gets the job done:
“Somebody that I used to know is dead to me Think less of me, you’re dead to me I don’t want anything to do with you I’m through with you You’re dead to me, and I’m dead to you.”
Pretty basic and straightforward, right?
23. Sufjan Stevens, “Death with Dignity”
💿 Carrie & Lowell • 🏷 Asthmatic Kitty • 🗓 2015
Also appears on 🔽:
🔗 🎧 Deadly Songs Unlikely to Leave You Literally Dead (Vol. 1)
24. 21 Savage, “Dead People”
💿 Issa Album • 🏷 Epic • 🗓 2017
According to 21, “I been drinkin’ syrup seein’ demons / Gotta keep it on me, n***as schemin’ / Right pocket full of dead people / I been hangin’ with the dead people.” Say what? The “dead people” that 21 Savage sees are on all the money he has. Definitely a song that won’t leave you literally dead!

25. Tyler Glenn, “Sudden Death (OMG)”
💿 Excommunication • 🏷 Island • 🗓 2016
From the jump on “Sudden Death (OMG),” Tyler Glenn is taken aback – sort of shell-shocked – by the course of how his faith has changed: “God / I never asked to fall from grace.” He goes on to include others’ opinions (“a little crazy”). He sums up the life-changing experience on the chorus, likening his new life – the state of confusion and apathy – as sudden death. He’s chosen a ‘sinful path’ from the church’s perspective, and although the “wages of sin is death”, he continues to live.
“Oh my God Catch me I’m starting to fall I don’t know what all this is for Keep coming at me with your disrespect You went and started a war Now I don’t care anymore I keep on living like it’s sudden death...”
“Sudden Death” is exceptionally well produced, set in a minor key, and sets the tone for Excommunication.

💿 Nourishing the Spoil • 🏷 Brutal Bands • 🗓 2013
“Subtle taste of shit, taste bud enticing... Accommodates belly full of hot piss Saliva thin coats starving rectum, below average lubricant Will suffice... Hand ran gently through hair, ‘You're doing just fine honey...’ Stink tunnel flooded with seminal bliss... Her loves knows no bounds when she has no say...”

28. Rich the Kid, “Dead Friends”
💿 The World is Yours • 🏷 Interscope • 🗓 2018
The hook is ferocious – ice cold:
“You little n***as My check bigger Can’t flex, n***a Can’t bet witcha Teach you how to be a boss, top dropped off Motherfuck the fame, I done came to the vault All them dead friends You a middleman You a little man Your money getting shorter My bitch from ‘cross the water Teach you how to count it, all about it, better boss up.”
Essentially, he plays the I’m better than you game, which features boasts involving money, but also references foreign girls. The second verse contains two particularly distinct moments. One references his wrist (“My wrist too cold with Moncler”), while the second seems most pertinent to Lil Uzi Vert (“Come to Rich forever, be a star”).

29. Cattle Decapitation, “Death Atlas”
💿 Death Atlas • 🏷 Metal Blade • 🗓 2019
“We deserve everything that’s coming / We’ll take this world to our graves!” K… What better way to conclude the 2019 album than its title track, 🎵 “Death Atlas?” “Death Atlas” is quite lengthy, racing past nine minutes in duration. Sure, it’s quite long, but, as one might expect, there’s a little bit of everything on the title track. Sometimes, it’s incredibly brutal, while at other times, there are lightly more melodic ideas, particularly when it comes to the vocals. Musically, there are shifts that keep things intriguing.
Of course, the expiration date is imminent:
“And I count the days ‘til we expire our ways To be alive is to survive everything To make do with anything, until we die To be alive is to squander everything To stumble towards anything, to feel alive.”
Honestly, this may be the one song no this list that might kill leave you literally dead – just saying!
“Alas, the deed is done Mankind now dead and gone Post-Anthropocene, Earth reset to day one Fire now rages on.”
