Six Feet Under
Six Feet Under: A Soulful Descent into Love's Grave
Lyrics
The devil's got such a pretty face
The devil is deceptive, having an attractive appearance.
Looks just like you in just the right shade
Someone resembling the devil, particularly the addressee, but with a specific quality or aspect.
You lick your lips like you've got a soul to take
The addressee is suggestive or tempting as if they have something valuable to offer.
But I'm six feet under baby
The speaker is metaphorically dead or in a difficult situation.
You've got me eyeing the sky
The speaker is contemplating or observing the sky, possibly feeling melancholic.
I've never been so blue
The speaker is experiencing profound sadness.
You've got me clawing the dirt through and through
The speaker is desperately trying to overcome a challenging situation.
You've got me pushing daisies
A metaphor for being dead and buried, no longer part of the living world.
And I'm six feet under, baby
Reiteration of being six feet under, emphasizing the hopelessness of the situation.
I'm six feet under baby
Repetition of the metaphorical burial, underscoring a sense of despair.
Don't shake this grave
Requesting not to disturb the speaker's state of despair or resignation.
This here's holy ground
Asserting that the speaker's current state is sacred or significant.
There's no souls to take
There are no opportunities for the addressee to exploit or benefit from in the speaker's condition.
I'm fine buried alive
The speaker claims contentment with being metaphorically buried alive.
So you be on your way
Advising the addressee to move on and not interfere with the speaker's situation.
I'm six feet under baby
Reiteration of being six feet under, emphasizing the inescapable nature of the predicament.
You've got me eyeing the sky
Reiteration of the speaker's contemplation of the sky, indicating a persistent sense of melancholy.
I've never been so blue
Emphasizing the depth of the speaker's sadness.
Got me clawing the dirt through and through
Intense effort to overcome challenges or difficulties.
You've got me pushing daisies
Metaphor for being dead and buried, repeating the futility of the situation.
I'm six feet under baby
Reiteration of the speaker's state of being six feet under, emphasizing hopelessness.
I'm six feet under baby
Repetition of the metaphorical burial, underscoring a sense of despair.
Don't shake this grave
Requesting not to disturb the speaker's state of despair or resignation.
This here's holy ground
Asserting that the speaker's current state is sacred or significant.
There's no souls to take
There are no opportunities for the addressee to exploit or benefit from in the speaker's condition.
Just fine buried alive
The speaker claims contentment with being metaphorically buried alive.
So be on your way
Advising the addressee to move on and not interfere with the speaker's situation.
I'm six feet under baby
Reiteration of being six feet under, emphasizing the inescapable nature of the predicament.
