How Can I Live?
Ill Nino · Best Of [2006]
So alike you
In so many ways
I know
I'm just a copy
That carries on the stain
But! We make the same mistake
'Cause! We are one and the same
But! We leave behind the stain
That can not separate!
All that lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?
All that lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?
I am your mirror image
Of all you left behind
You made me what I am
And who the Hell am I?
But! We make the same mistake
'Cause! We are one and the same
But! We leave behind the stain
That cannot separate!
All that lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?
All that lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?
Why?!
Yo no entiendo porque
I know that our lives are the same
Y mi vida
Is just a guessing game
A dirty stain that I can not play
But I follow your steps
In that same way that you just
Walked away and pushed away
No, I will not live!
Do you think of me?
Do you dream of me?
I always dream about you
Do you think of me?
Do you dream of me?
I always dream about you
All that lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?
All that lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?
How Can I Live?
Ill Nino's "How Can I Live?" stands as a defining track from his 2006 compilation, "Best Of," capturing the raw, unpolished energy that characterized his work during the mid-2000s. Released alongside hits like "If You Still Hate Me" and "What You Deserve," the song exemplifies the genre-blending approach Ill Nino took, merging punk rock aggression with electronic textures and reggae rhythms. The recording reflects a period where the artist was actively shaping a distinct sound that rejected mainstream polish in favor of gritty authenticity. As part of a broader discography that includes the "One Nation Underground" project and earlier EPs, this track remains a testament to his ability to craft memorable, high-energy anthems that resonated deeply with fans of underground electronic and punk music during that era.
