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?

Thought I found a way
Thought I found a way out (found)
But you never go away (never go away)
So I guess I gotta stay now

Oh, I hope some day I'll make it out of here
Even if it takes all night or a hundred years
Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near
Wanna feel alive, outside I can't fight my fear

Isn't it lovely, all alone
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello, welcome home

Walkin' out of town
Lookin' for a better place (lookin' for a better place)
Something's on my mind (mind)
Always in my head space

But I know some day I'll make it out of here
Even if it takes all night or a hundred years
Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near
Wanna feel alive, outside I can't fight my fear

Isn't it lovely, all alone
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello, welcome home

Whoa, yeah
Yeah, ah
Whoa, whoa
Hello, welcome home
