Main article: Death of Technoblade |
On 30 June, 2022, YouTuber and member of the Dream SMP Technoblade died from metastatic sarcoma.[4] In response, Dream donated US$21,409 to cancer research.[5] On June 23, 2023, Dream released this song, dedicated to him[6][7], saying that...
‘Until I End Up Dead’ is about enjoying every moment that life gives you because you never know when life will end, and it’s really important to live yours to its fullest. The song is special to me because I was able to take two really serious events that impacted me and my community and put them into a song that I think is really meaningful. The passing of my friend’s mom when I was a kid and also the passing of Technoblade, one of the largest streamers in the space at the time, had a major impact on my life and made me realize how quickly life can change, and how important it is to enjoy the moment, your friends, and your family.
"Until I End Up Dead" is a mid-tempo pop rock[2] song that is...
about reflecting on life and appreciating the things that really matter, like your friends, family, and loved ones, because you never know when they’ll be gone, or when you will be.
— Dream, Twitter
