Background
Kennedy disclosed, in an interview, the meaning of the popular lyric “Now when I’m face to face with death I’ll grab his throat and ask him, ‘How does it hurt?’.” He states that loss is inevitable. No matter the circumstance and no matter the quality of life that is lived, nothing gets by death. In this song, Kennedy wanted to take control of that notion, and in reverse, take control of death.
