Shallow Grave
Rising from Darkness: Sense Field's Shallow Grave
Lyrics
Since you've seen me down there
Reflects acknowledgment of being observed in a vulnerable state previously.
Because I've been so many times before
Expresses a history of experiencing similar situations of hardship or vulnerability in the past.
DUG MY WAY OUT OF A SHALLOW GRAVE
Metaphorically refers to overcoming a dire or difficult situation, possibly a metaphor for survival.
Because hell is never a home
Suggests that a distressing situation isn't a suitable or comfortable place to be.
Pull the man down from the throne
Symbolizes the act of challenging authority or established power.
PUSH YOUR WAY up to open skies
Implies striving towards liberation or achieving personal freedom.
Come up to me,
Invitation to someone to approach or connect emotionally.
Let me feel you move
Desire to physically perceive someone's movement, possibly seeking reassurance or connection.
Let me touch your face,
Expresses a desire for intimacy or closeness by wanting to touch the person's face.
Look into your eyes
Expresses a wish to deeply understand the person by looking into their eyes.
And read into them,
Desire to interpret or understand the emotions conveyed through the person's eyes.
Let me watch you fly
Expresses a desire to witness the person's success or growth.
Watch you take us right on out of here
Hope to be led to a better situation by the person being observed.
With all we've been through,
Suggests accumulated experiences, possibly hardships or challenges faced together.
Don't you think its time
Questioning whether it's time to move on or change the situation due to experiences shared.
If blood should cover our hands,
Contemplating the consequences of actions or guilt for past deeds.
Running water over them
Symbolizes cleansing or seeking absolution for past actions.
FIND YOUR WAY OUT OF A SHALLOW GRAVE

Because fucked is never a home
