"Meet Up with Our Maker" is first known to have been demoed by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in late October/early November of [[2011]] and first released to fans in [[2020]] as part of the digital demo compilation ''[[Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years]]''. Although Cuomo has not commented on the specific impetus for the song, he cited several difficult life events that inspired his songwriting from [[2011]] to [[2014]] on the digital storefront description for ''Alone XI'', among them the death of former [[Weezer]] bassist [[Mikey Welsh]], who passed away from a (suspected) drug overdose less than a month prior to the recording of "Meet Up with Our Maker." | |||

===Meet Up with Our Maker (ver. 10)=== | |||
<poem>I wake up at dawn and drink eagle eggs | <poem>I wake up at dawn and drink eagle eggs | ||
Swim in the ocean, work out my legs | Swim in the ocean, work out my legs | ||
Asclepius binds up what I have torn | |||
And Venus smiles on my mended form | |||
But hey, I'm losing ground | But, hey, I'm losing ground | ||
I have to rest before too long | I have to rest before too long | ||
'Cause sooner or later | 'Cause sooner or later, one of these days | ||
We | We all gotta meet up with our maker | ||
People ask how I stay the same | People ask how I stay the same | ||
But we | But we all gotta meet up with our maker | ||
I see the lines and I feel the pain | |||
We all gotta meet up with our maker | |||
I visit the rain | I visit the rain man once per year | ||
Slaughter a lamb and sit in his chair | Slaughter a lamb and sit in his chair | ||
The magic books make a lot more sense | |||
Now that I'm older with no defenses | Now that I'm older with no defenses | ||
Hey, I'm losing ground | |||
I have to rest before too long | I have to rest before too long | ||
'Cause sooner or later | 'Cause sooner or later, one of these days | ||
We | We all gotta meet up with our maker | ||
People ask how I stay the same | People ask how I stay the same | ||
But we | But we all gotta meet up with our maker | ||
I see the lines and I feel the pain | |||
We all gotta meet up with our maker | |||
Hey, I'm losing ground | |||
I have to rest before too long | I have to rest before too long | ||
Sooner or later, or one of these days | |||
We | We all gotta meet up with our maker | ||
People ask how I stay the same | People ask how I stay the same | ||
But we | But we all gotta meet up with our maker | ||
We | I see the lines and I feel the pain | ||
We | We all gotta meet up | ||
</poem> | We all gotta meet up | ||
We all gotta meet up</poem> | |||
