The title ‘Ignored To Death’ actually came from a Reeves & Mortimer comedy skit but the subject matter is deadly serious and the song explores the tragic results of isolation and loneliness.
All her life she went unnoticed
No-one ever really heard her
Like she never quite existed
As she waited for an answer
Conversation with a brick wall
Caught the echo of her own words
All alone and suicidal
No-one ever got to know her
Ignored to Death
Swallowed up into a big hole
Ignored to death
What a way to go
All this time he was invisible
No-one ever really saw him
Down and out less than a criminal
Another nameless victim
Died freezing in a subway
Found Sunday morning
No-one came to claim the body
No-one ever got to know him
Chorus
Fade away to nothing…..
All their lives they were invisible
No-one ever really saw them
The poor, the sick, the vulnerable
Are all our victims
Ignored to Death
Swallowed up into a black hole
Ignored to death
What a way to go
