Annotated Lyrics- Connor

[Pre-Chorus: Logic]
I've been on the low
I been taking my time
I feel like I'm out of my mind
It feel like my life ain't mine
(Who can relate? Woo!)
[Chorus: Logic]
I don't wanna be alive
I just wanna die today
I just wanna die
I just wanna die
And let me tell you why
Logic 1-800 Annotated Lyrics -Connor
[Verse 1: Logic]
All this other shit I'm talkin' 'bout
they think they know it
I've been praying for somebody to
save me, no one's heroic
And my life don't even matter, I
know it, I know it
I know I'm hurting deep down but
can't show it
I never had a place to call my own
I never had a home, ain't nobody
callin' my phone
Where you been? Where you at?
What's on your mind?
They say every life precious but
nobody care about mine
[Pre-Chorus: Logic]
[Chorus: Logic]
I want you to be alive
You don't gotta die today
You don't gotta die
You don't gotta die
Now lemme tell you why
[Verse 2: Alessia Cara]
It's the very first breath
When your head's been drowning underwater
And it's the lightness in the air
When you're there
Chest to chest with a lover
It's holding on, though the road's long
And seeing light in the darkest things
And when you stare at your reflection
Finally knowing who it is
I know that you'll thank God you did
[Verse 3: Logic]
I know where you been, where you
are, where you goin'
I know you're the reason I believe
in life
What's the day without a little
night?
I'm just tryna shed a little light
It can be hard
It can be so hard
But you gotta live right now
You got everything to give right
now
[Chorus: Logic]
I finally wanna be alive
I don't wanna die today
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
[Outro: Khalid]
Pain don't hurt the same, I know
The lane I travel feels alone
But I'm moving 'til my legs give out
And I see my tears melt in the snow
But I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna cry anymore
I wanna feel alive
I don't even wanna die anymore
Oh I don't wanna
I don't wanna

[Pre-Chorus: Logic]
[Chorus: Logic]
I just wanna die today
I just wanna die
I just wanna die
And let me tell you why
Establishing shots of the locations:
School, Person A & B’s house, the
bus stop and the park
At the end of the pre-chorus, it will
cut to persons A house where he
opens the door to introduce him as
a character
This is also the introduction of
Person B as he waits outside for
person A to walk to school
together
He wears a dark
hoodie with the
hood up to
introduce his
depression
Mid-shots of them walking
on the stress to show how
close they are
Cuts to the door opening
inside Person A’s house
with B waiting outside to
show the next day.

[Verse 1: Logic]
All this other shit I'm talkin' 'bout they think they know it
I've been praying for somebody to save me, no one's heroic
And my life don't even matter, I know it, I know it
I know I'm hurting deep down but can't show it
I never had a place to call my own
I never had a home, ain't nobody callin' my phone
Where you been? Where you at? What's on your mind?
They say every life precious but nobody care about mine
[Pre-Chorus: Logic]
The artist is then introduced
‘1hundred’ of him walking as he is
singing to the camera
Cuts from the artist to the two
characters in school, working and
walking down the corridors together.
This shows that there life is just like any
normal teenager
Cuts back to the artist singing his
chorus. An extreme close up is
used to show the emotion in the
song.
On the line ‘ive never
had a place to call my
own’, a long shot of
person A walking alone
foreshadowing the
ending of the video.

[Chorus: Logic]
You don't gotta die today
You don't gotta die
You don't gotta die
Now lemme tell you why
[Verse 2: Alessia Cara]
It's the very first breath
When your head's been drowning underwater
And it's the lightness in the air
When you're there
Chest to chest with a lover
It's holding on, though the road's long
And seeing light in the darkest things
And when you stare at your reflection
Finally knowing who it is
I know that you'll thank God you did
A close up of
person A horrified
expression, cuts to
an over the
shoulder shot of a
newspaper article
to show Person B
committed suicide
Cuts to the artist singing the
end of the chorus
Person A tries to get into his school
but forgot his entry card to show that
his thoughts are making him forget
about his life
He then gets locked
out of his house, he
shows his anger and
frustration my
punching the door
This all shows that his
thoughts are getting in
the way of his
judgement. i.e
forgetting his card and
his house keys
A static shot of
Person A
walking out of
his house with
a montage of
different
clothes on to
show the days
going by

I know where you been, where you are, where you goin'
I know you're the reason I believe in life
What's the day without a little night?
I'm just tryna shed a little light
It can be hard
It can be so hard
But you gotta live right now
You got everything to give right now
[Pre-Chorus: Logic]
It feel like my life ain't mineCuts to the artist singing
to continue the tension
Person A walks into the park
alone and in the dark to show
that he is isolated and alone.
Over the shoulder shot of person A
making a phone call to the child
helpline as he has nobody left to talk to
The shot fades away and leaves a brief pause to
build suspense whether Person A also committed
suicide or not
A close up of his face after the over the shoulder
shot to show his tears and sadness
Quick cut to the artist
singing the beginning
line
Cuts to him walking down
a long snowy path to
show his isolation
Then cuts to him walking down a dark street

I don't wanna die today
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
Pain don't hurt the same, I know
The lane I travel feels alone
But I'm moving 'til my legs give out
And I see my tears melt in the snow
But I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna cry anymore
I wanna feel alive
Oh I don't wanna
I don't wanna
[Khalid: Chorus]
The shot of him walking down a
dark street continues to emphasis
his depression
Flash backs of Person A
dealing with depression. Him
taking anti- depressants
Used a white fade away to
show that it’s a flash back so
the audience can understand
the narrative better
The new artist is introduced
to sing the ending. A white
background is used to point
the focus onto his
expression
Slow motion is used
as he walks back
home in the dark by
himself
Quick cuts to
refer back to
the new artist
The ending on him walking towards
his house in the dark showing his
isolation. This represents depression
as a battle as it will never go away
but you must always fight it which is
our message in this video.
