Lyrics
Get me up from this terrible place
Expressing a desire to escape from a terrible or unpleasant place.
Because it's dangerous down here
Highlighting the danger and discomfort present in the current environment.
There are splinters and splinters
Emphasizing the presence of numerous difficulties or challenges (splinters).
Flying like arrows around
Describing the chaotic and fast-paced nature of the challenges faced.
I turn around to see one huge black tongue
Visualizing a threatening image, possibly metaphorical, like a large black tongue.
That means to lick my very being
Suggesting a looming threat that intends to consume or harm the speaker.
And the sun is about to set
Noting the approaching end of a positive or comfortable situation.
On the head of my shadow
Symbolizing a decline or negative change in the speaker's life.
So get me the hell out of here
Reiterating the urgent plea to be removed from the current situation.
So get me the hell out of here
-So get me the hell out of here
-I'm tired and dizzy
Expressing physical and emotional exhaustion, disorientation, and confusion.
Weak and spent
-I cannot tell which way is up
-And the faster I try to move
Describing the struggle to make progress, feeling stuck and unable to move forward.
The quicker I get stuck
-The quicker I get stuck
-Stuck underneath a heavy piece of...
Visualizing being trapped beneath a heavy burden or obstacle.
So get me the hell out of here
Repeating the plea to escape, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
So get me the hell out of here
-So get me the hell out of here
-A million shrieking wolfhounds
Painting a vivid and intense image of danger, with wolfhounds symbolizing threats.
Are screaming in a straight line
-Aimed and focused on my neck
-All two million
-Of their piss-yellow eyes
-Are racing speedy as scalpels
-So get me the hell out of here
Reiterating the desperate need to escape the impending danger.
So get me the hell out of here
-So get me the hell out of here
