Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Andrew on “Hey Hey Hey (We’re All Gonna Die)”” by Jack’s Mannequin
“Hey Hey Hey (We’re All Gonna Die)” by Jack’s Mannequin is a song about mortality and the ways we try to ignore it and carry on like we have all the time in the world. The singer, Andrew, reflects on how life is often full of regret and missed opportunities because of our blindness to our own mortality. He talks about how much he loved someone and how he took them for granted, not expecting them to leave so soon. Although we know we’re all going to die someday, we try to put it out of our minds and fill our time with distractions and small happinesses. Coming to terms with our mortality can be a hard and scary experience; but Andrew urges us not to let it consume us, instead learning to appreciate every moment that we have while we still can.
