"Living Is a Problem Because Everything Dies" is the opening song on Scottish band Biffy Clyro's fourth album, Puzzle.

It was added to the playlists of several radio stations in the United States[1]—including WBRU, WQEX and WHHZ—which allowed the song to reach number 47 on the Mediabase Alternative Airplay chart.

It's about not wanting to waste your life, but about having no idea where to turn and suddenly being aware of your own mortality.

"[5] The song was first played on BBC Radio 1 by Zane Lowe on 13 March 2007 in The Hottest Record In The World segment.

[6] The guitars and bass in "Living is a Problem Because Everything Dies" are in Drop C tuning,[7] which is a notable variation from Biffy Clyro's preferred tuning: Drop D. The track features string and choir arrangements by Hollywood composer Graeme Revell, performed by the Seattle Symphony Orchestra.
