The song is about the many ways people can die, and how people are risking their lives to easily and not taking death seriously. They're Dead is one of the 3 singles from The Legend of Ye.

andrewnow said in an interview about the song “I believe that They’re Dead is truly an emotional song, it makes you realize that death is not a joke, and it needs to be taken seriously. We are all risking our life to easily, we need to just relax. There right now is a chance of a man in a chicken costume busting down your door and stabbing you 12 times in the chest. I hope that one day science can get to such a good level we can create polie.. uh yugohumidity.. uh biproduct machine maker of… of life and utopia”. andrewnow has also said that the song is good for children because it teaches them not to commit suicide.

Ca$ho has said that the song is kind of like Dumb Ways to Die, and that the song teaches you all the ways humans can die.
