Six Feet
Six Feet Deep: Unveiling the Cost of Hard Work and Heartbreak
Lyrics
Said I don't know how much more I can please ya
Singer expresses uncertainty about satisfying someone.
All my blood and sweat's been givin' you amnesia
All efforts and hard work are seemingly forgotten by the person.
Workin them twenty hour jobs I ain't seen no sun
Working long hours without seeing the positive aspects of life.
Ain't got no time for dyin' till the job is done
Delaying personal matters until work is completed.
Met this pretty eyed thing some time ago
Recalling meeting an attractive person in the past.
Took a bite out an apple and said let's go
Symbolic action of spontaneity and adventure.
Me and my baby just wild and free
Describing a carefree relationship with a significant other.
She's the drug that put an end to me
Characterizing the romantic partner as a destructive influence.
I always thought that's the way it's supposed to be
Reflecting on a misconception about the nature of relationships.
Work hard, play hard until your six feet deep
Emphasizing the work hard, play hard philosophy with a potential dark outcome.
Broke some bones, broke some rocks and some tinder
Listing physical efforts made for the relationship.
Just to put a little shine on her finger
Working hard to provide materialistic symbols of commitment.
Went back to hell and said love you baby
Returning to difficulties in the relationship with a declaration of love.
You said don't come back until you can pay me
Encountering financial expectations in the relationship.
She came up like Tabasco and pepper
Describing the partner as a potent and spicy force.
Rippin a hole in my chest just like leather
Expressing emotional pain caused by the partner.
But little did I know before I walked out the door
Realizing betrayal after leaving the relationship.
She was already layin' in bed with at least two more
Acknowledging a flawed perception of relationships.
I always thought that's the way it's supposed to be
Reiterating the misconception about the nature of relationships.
Work hard, play hard until your six feet deep
Re-emphasizing the potential negative outcome of the work hard, play hard lifestyle.
Got divorced and just kicked in the door
Describing a divorce and the act of leaving abruptly.
She said babe what are you leavin for
Expressing confusion about the reason for leaving.
Left the rent and I went with my bags
Leaving the relationship with belongings.
Back to work, light a smoke pull some drags
Coping with the end of the relationship through smoking.
I got called up to see Mr Bossman
Facing consequences at work for personal struggles.
You're stayin' late with no lunch and no option
Experiencing difficulties at work with limited choices.
I came back from hell and told him you're crazy
Returning to challenges in the relationship after a work setback.
Quit this job, cut my cheque cause that's the end for me
Deciding to quit the job and end the struggle.
Cause that's not the way it's supposed to be
Reiterating the misconception about the nature of relationships.
Work hard, slave hard until yeah
Emphasizing the negative consequences of the work hard, play hard lifestyle.
That's not the way it's supposed to be
Repeating the flawed perception of relationships.
Work hard, slave hard until your six feet deep
Re-emphasizing the potential negative outcome of the work hard, play hard lifestyle.
