Help Me Dig
Unearthing Despair: Help Me Dig into the Depths of Defeat
Lyrics
Is it water on the knee?
Questioning a physical condition, possibly a metaphor for a problem.
My eyeballs are leaking and I don't know why
Expressing emotional distress without understanding its cause.
No wisdom teeth
Not having wisdom teeth, a detail highlighting a lack of conventional wisdom.
An open casket buffet, a sneeze guard lie
Describing a deceptive or false display, using a funeral metaphor.
Riding on the undertakers coat-tales
Following someone who deals with death, suggesting a morbid pursuit.
I hold tight
Holding on tightly, possibly to negative experiences or emotions.
This is what all you can eat defeat tastes like
Describing the taste of constant failure or disappointment.
So if you wanna go down, help me dig
Inviting others to join in facing challenges, possibly a call for solidarity.
If you feels like you're breaking, why not try to bend?
Suggesting resilience in the face of difficulties, encouraging flexibility.
Victory gin
Referring to a substance associated with dystopian literature, possibly metaphorical.
An elbow to the large intestine money maker
Describing a physical blow to a vital part of one's well-being.
That we're swimming in
Immersed in a negative environment or situation, using a metaphor of swimming.
The faecal matter finally meets its maker
Suggesting the end or resolution of a challenging situation.
And rolling in it only makes you cleaner
Contrasting the cleanliness gained from engaging in negativity.
This holy hatred
Describing a strong, justified dislike or resentment.
Wash me in the weight of what makes me meaner
Seeking purification through experiencing the weight of negative qualities.
And if this is the product, one could ask could we have not done better?
Raising a question about the quality of the outcome, expressing dissatisfaction.
If it feels like it's falling apart, why try to hold it together
Encouraging acceptance of falling apart rather than futile attempts at control.
If it feels like we're breaking, why try to bend?
Encouraging adaptability in the face of challenges or difficulties.
If you wanna go down, help me dig
Repeating the invitation for collective action in overcoming obstacles.
