| '''EYD''' is an insignia appearing in the liner notes for Weezer's [[2014]] album ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]'' as well as on official merchandise from that album cycle. The insignia appears on the back of the album's liner notes, following a line that reads "Transmissions received and sorted by [[Joe Laffoley]], 1965, 4th level literati."

| Though never officially confirmed, the acronym likely stands for "'''Except You Die'''". During the coalescence of earlier concepts (The [[Sea Opera]], [[Ecce Homo]]) into the concept that would ultimately manifest as ''EWBAITE'', the working concept title was ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End Except You Die]]''.

| | |
| There exists an alternate cover for ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]'' that is viewable as the thumbnails for certain files from ''[[Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years]]''. This cover is identical to the final cover, but with white text in the bottom-right stating "Everything will be alright in the end except you die".

| In [[2020]], a user asked Cuomo about the meaning of "EYD" via [[Riverchat]], to which Cuomo responded "Greek tragedy,"[https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/File:Riverchat_20200803-201851.jpg] adding "if you turn up the album real [loud] at the end you can hear me say it." [https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/File:Riverchat_20200803-202134_20200805095636877.jpg] Indeed, Cuomo can be heard whispering the words "except you die" at around 4:11 in the song "[[Foolish Father]]".
