death bed (coffee for your head) (feat. beabadoobee)

Don't stay awake for too long, don't go to bed
I'll make a cup of coffee for your head
It'll get you up and going out of bed

Yeah, I don't wanna fall asleep, I don't wanna pass away
I been thinking of our future 'cause I'll never see those days
I don't know why this has happened, but I probably deserve it
I tried to do my best, but you know that I'm not perfect

I been praying for forgiveness, you've been praying for my health
When I leave this earth, hopin' you'll find someone else
'Cause yeah, we still young, there's so much we haven't done
Getting married, start a family, watch your husband with his son

I wish it could be me, but I won't make it out this bed
I hope I go to heaven so I see you once again
My life was kinda short, but I got so many blessings
Happy you were mine, it sucks that it's all ending

Don't stay awake for too long, don't go to bed
I'll make a cup of coffee for your head
It'll get you up and going out of bed (yeah, ayy)
Don't stay awake for too long, don't go to bed
I'll make a cup of coffee for your head
It'll get you up and going out of bed (ayy, yeah)

I'm happy that you here with me, I'm sorry if I tear up
When me and you were younger, you would always make me cheer up
Taking goofy videos and walking through the park
You would jump into my arms every time you heard a bark

Cuddle in your sheets, sing me sound asleep
And sneak out through your kitchen at exactly 1:03
Sundays, went to church, on Mondays, watched a movie
Soon you'll be alone, sorry that you have to lose me

Don't stay awake for too long, don't go to bed
I'll make a cup of coffee for your head
It'll get you up and going out of bed
Don't stay awake for too long, don't go to bed
I'll make a cup of coffee for your head
It'll get you up and going out of bed

Don't stay awake for too long, don't go to bed
I'll make a cup of coffee for your head
It'll get you up and going out of bed
Don't stay awake for too long, don't go to bed
I'll make a cup of coffee for your head
It'll get you up and going out of bed

Don't stay awake for too long, don't go to bed
I'll make a cup of coffee for your head
It'll get you up and going out of bed

A Despedida em death bed: Reflexões e Emoções em uma Canção de Powfu

A música 'death bed (coffee for your head)' do artista Powfu, com participação de beabadoobee, é uma reflexão melancólica sobre a mortalidade e a perda. A letra da canção revela um narrador que está consciente de que sua vida está chegando ao fim e expressa seus pensamentos e sentimentos para uma pessoa amada. A repetição do refrão 'Don't stay awake for too long, don't go to bed / I'll make a cup of coffee for your head / It'll get you up and going out of bed' sugere um gesto de cuidado e uma tentativa de confortar a pessoa amada, mesmo diante da inevitabilidade da morte.

O uso de imagens cotidianas, como fazer uma xícara de café, contrasta com a gravidade do tema central da música. Essa contraposição realça a beleza dos pequenos momentos compartilhados e a dor de saber que esses momentos estão prestes a acabar. O narrador lamenta não poder vivenciar o futuro ao lado da pessoa amada, mencionando eventos significativos como casamento e ter filhos, e expressa um desejo de que a pessoa amada encontre felicidade após sua partida. A honestidade emocional da letra é acentuada pela melodia suave e pelo tom introspectivo da performance de Powfu.

A música alcançou grande popularidade, em parte, devido à sua presença em plataformas de mídia social como o TikTok, onde a melodia cativante e o refrão memorável ressoaram com muitos ouvintes. 'death bed' é um exemplo de como a música pode explorar temas profundos de maneira acessível, conectando-se com o público através de emoções universais como amor, perda e a busca por significado diante da efemeridade da vida.
