Lyrics
My baby has a swollen face
Describing the physical appearance of the speaker's baby with a swollen face.
Long stiff limbs
Highlighting the stiffness of the baby's limbs.
Them eyes are black pits
Depicting the baby's eyes as dark pits, reminiscent of a past experience.
Of a place where I've been
Suggesting familiarity with a dark place or memory.
Her hair is long
Noting the length of the baby's hair.
Still smells like mud
Connecting the scent of mud to the baby's hair.
She answered to my kiss
Describing a kiss received with a response of a decaying or unpleasant tongue.
With a rotten tongue
Expressing a connection despite unpleasant physical aspects.
No death can
Claiming that no death can separate the speaker from their baby.
Tear us apart
Reiterating the idea that death cannot break their connection.
Her body is cold
Stating the coldness of the baby's body.
Well its gonna get colder
Anticipating a further drop in temperature but expressing enduring love.
But my love will ignite
Believing that the speaker's love can reignite what was fading.
What was left to smoulder
Referring to remnants of something smoldering or fading away.
I move my hips
Describing movement in a way that suggests comfort and belonging.
In her I am home
Emphasizing a sense of home within the baby.
I'll keep on loving
Committing to love until the very core of the baby's bones is dry.
Till the marrow dries from her bones
Continuing to express the unbreakable nature of their connection despite death.
No death
Repeating the assertion that no death can separate the speaker from their baby.
Can tear us apart
Reiterating the idea that death cannot break their connection.
All day
Indicating a constant presence by the baby's side throughout the day.
I stay by her side
Acknowledging death's claim and right to the speaker's bride.
But death has a claim
Choosing to shut out the outside world and hide from death.
And a right to my bride
Hearing something ominous outside, possibly symbolizing death's approach.
I shut the doors
Repeating the assertion that no death can separate the speaker from their baby.
Pull the curtains and hide
Emphasizing the act of hiding and isolating from death's presence.
I heard something moving
Sensing an approaching threat or presence outside the sheltered space.
Somewhere outside
Repeating the assertion that no death can separate the speaker from their baby.
No death can
Expressing the idea that death can infiltrate even through small openings.
Tear us apart
Reiterating the idea that death cannot break their connection.
But death comes a sneaking in
Introducing death as a sneaky force trying to enter through keyholes.
Trough the keyholes
Describing death's method of entering with stealth through keyholes.
He's clever and he knows
Attributing intelligence to death and suggesting knowledge of hidden things.
What's beneath the floorboards
Highlighting the awareness of what lies beneath the surface.
Death comes to feast
Depicting death as a voracious and insatiable creature ready to consume.
Like a greedy hungry beast
Emphasizing death's desire for everything.
He wants it all
Stating death's intent to claim everything for itself.
And here he crawls
Reinforcing the inevitability of death's arrival.
And here he crawls
Repeating the notion of death approaching, possibly with a sense of inevitability.
And here he crawls
Reiterating the imminent arrival of death.
