Behind The Tracks: Dead Eyes - Good Die Young (Single) (2025)

Fueled by a relentless drive, "Good Die Young" dives into the darker corners of the human psyche. Wrestling with the lingering questions of whether we are living up to our own expectations and if the sacrifices we make are leading us toward a life of meaning. The explosive energy of the song alongside the lyrics resonates with the restless, capturing the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of uncertainty and the constant pursuit of validation.
