Six Feet Under
Billie Eilish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Help, I lost myself again
But I remember you
Don't come back, it won't end well
But I wish you'd tell me to

Our love is six feet under
I can't help but wonder
If our grave was watered by the rain
Would roses bloom?
Could roses bloom
Again?

Retrace my lips, erase your touch
It's all too much for me
Blow away like smoke in air
How can you die carelessly?

Our love is six feet under
I can't help but wonder
If our grave was watered by the rain
Would roses bloom?
Could roses bloom?

They're playin' our sound
Layin' us down tonight
And all of these clouds
Cryin' us back to life
But you're cold as a night

Six feet under
I can't help but wonder
If our grave was watered by the rain
Bloom
Bloom
Again





Help, I lost myself again
But I remember you

Overall Meaning

Billie Eilish's "Six Feet Under" is a song about the loss of a relationship, but not necessarily the kind of break-up that comes with mutual agreement. Instead, the song conveys a story of a couple who have gone their separate ways, and the sadness and longing that the one left behind experiences as a result. The singer "lost [herself] again," but still remembers her former partner. Despite the warning to "not come back," she still wishes that he would tell her to. In the chorus, she compares their love to being "six feet under," suggesting that it has died a permanent death. Yet, she also wonders about the possibility of new life with the line, "If our grave was watered by the rain, would roses bloom? Could roses bloom again?" This lyric captures the wishful thinking and yearning that often accompany a break-up but also reflects a bittersweet recollection of the good times.


Later in the song, the singer expresses her emotions more clearly. There is too much confusion in her mind, and she wouldn't mind if her former love "Blow[s] away like smoke in air." Still, she can't help but question how someone could "die carelessly" (either emotionally or metaphorically), which indicates how important their relationship was to her. The second chorus is followed by a bridge that repeats "six feet under," while adding some lines suggesting that their "sound is playing" and "clouds are crying," as if the whole world is in mourning. However, she realizes that he is "cold as a night," and they probably won't have a second chance, so she's left only with the contemplation.


Line by Line Meaning

Help, I lost myself again
I need help finding my way and who I am


But I remember you
You are the only thing that seems familiar to me


Don't come back, it won't end well
You left for a reason, and coming back will only bring more pain


But I wish you'd tell me to
I want to know that you still care about me


Our love is six feet under
Our relationship is dead and buried


I can't help but wonder
Despite everything, I still think about what could have been


If our grave was watered by the rain
If our relationship was given another chance


Would roses bloom?
Could love blossom again between us?


Could roses bloom
Is it possible for us to be together again?


Retrace my lips, erase your touch
I want to forget about you, to undo any physical contact we ever had


It's all too much for me
I am overwhelmed by the emotions and memories associated with our relationship


Blow away like smoke in air
I want our past together to disappear quickly and easily


How can you die carelessly?
How can you move on from our relationship so easily when I am still struggling?


They're playin' our sound
The music reminds me of our shared experiences and love for each other


Layin' us down tonight
I am reminded of us being together, but now we are separated


And all of these clouds
I am feeling very emotional and sad


Cryin' us back to life
The tears I am shedding remind me of the love we used to share


But you're cold as a night
You are distant and unresponsive to my emotions and feelings


Six feet under
Our relationship is dead and buried


Bloom
I hope that love can flourish once again between us


Again?
Is there any hope for us to be together again?

Help I lost myself again,
but I remember you.
Don't come back,
it won't end well..
But I wish you'd tell me to.
Our love is six feet under, I can't help but wonder I our grave was watered by the rain..
Would roses bloom?
Could roses bloom again?
Retrace my lips,
erase your touch.
It's all too much for me.
Blow away like smoke in air,
how can you die carelessly?
Our love is six feet under,
I can't help but wonder,
if our grave was watered by the rain..
Would roses bloom?
Could roses bloom again?
They're playing us out
and laying us out tonight.
And all of these clouds are bringing us back to life.
But you're cold as a knife.
Six feet under,
I can't help but wonder,
If our grave was watered by the rain..
Bloom
Bloom again?
Help I lost myself again,
but I remember you.

[Lyrics]
Help, I lost myself again
But I remember you

Don't come back, it won't end well
But I wish you'd tell me too

Our love is six feet under
I can't help but wonder
If our grave was watered by the rain
Would roses bloom?
Could roses bloom, again?

Retrace my lips
Erase your touch
It's all too much for me
Blow away
Like smoke in air
How can you die carelessly?

Our love is six feet under
I can't help but wonder
If our grave was watered by the rain
Would roses bloom?
Could roses bloom?

They're playing our sound
Laying us down tonight
And all of these clouds
Crying us back to life
But you're cold as a knife

Six feet under
Can't help but wonder
If our grave was watered by the rain
Bloom
Bloom
Again

Help, I lost myself again
But I remember you

Help, I lost myself again
도와줘, 나는 나를 다시 잃었어
But I remember you
그러나 나는 너를 기억해
Don't come back, it won't end well
다시 오지마, 이것은 끝이 아닐거야.
But I wish you'd tell me too
그러나 나는 니가 나에게 말해주길 원해. 또한
Our love is six feet under
우리의 사랑은 죽은거야
I can't help but wonder
나는 궁금해하지 않을 수가 없어
If our grave was watered by the rain
우리의 무덤이 비에 의해 잠겼다면
Would roses bloom
꽃들이 필까
Could roses bloom
꽃들이 필 수 있을까
Again
다시

Retrace my lips
나의 입술을 다시 봐
Erase your touch
너의 터치를 지워
It's all too much for me
나에게 이 모든 것은 많아
Blow away
저 멀리 불어
Like smoke in air
공기안에 연기처럼
How can you die carelessly
너는 어떻게 무관심하게 죽을 수 있니?

Our love is six feet under
우리의 사랑은 죽은 것이야
I can't help but wonder
나는 궁금해하지 않을 수가 없어
If our grave was watered by the rain
우리의 무덤이 비에 의해 잠겼다면
Would roses bloom
꽃들은 필까
Could roses bloom
꽃들은 필 수 있을까

They're playing our sound
그들은 우리의 소리를 연주하는 중이야
Laying us down tonight
우리를 오늘 밤 눕히는 중이야
And all of these clouds
그리고 이 구름들 모두
Bringing us back to life
우리를 다시 삶으로 데리고 오는 중이야
But you're cold as a night
그러나 너는 밤처럼 차가워

Six feet under
죽은
I can't help but wonder
나는 궁금해하지 않을 수가 없어
If our grave was watered by the rain
우리의 무덤이 비에 의해 잠겼다면
Bloom
필까
Bloom
필까
Again
다시
Help, I lost myself again
도와줘, 난 다시 나를 잃었어
But I remember you
그러나 나는 너를 기억해

@visicircle

Because the Record Industry only promotes anti-social, regressive music. It's a damning reflection of their character, that they can't help but corrupt every artist they come into contact with. Just pay artists directly online. Let Gomorrah die off.
