Background[]
The original upload metadata was a joke; with the title being "Dead (LEAKED AYESHA EROTICA TRACK FEATURING BRENDON JONES), and featuring an unexpected genre classification of “Folk & Singer-Songwriter”. The accompanying description humorously exclaimed "omg this is crazy cant beleive it leeked [sic]".[1]
Theme[]
The song carries a raw and confrontational energy through its repetitive and intense lyrics. The repetition of "He's dead, he's dead" creates a sense of urgency and finality, emphasizing the idea of death. The expletive "Fuck" interspersed throughout the lyrics adds to the overall aggressive tone of the song.[2]
The mention of Sid Vicious, an iconic figure from the punk rock scene, adds a layer of cultural reference to the song. By referencing Sid Vicious repeatedly in the song, the lyrics seem to draw parallels between his untimely demise and the inevitability of death for everyone.[2]

He's dead, he's dead
He's dead, he's dead (Fuck)

And one day you'll be dead too

And one day you'll be dead too
