Low
Blueneck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Unclothe yourself
Burn in the sun
Peeling yourself away
They cut you down
You dance with your enemy
Spiders in harmony
Caught glass inside of me
They close today
Chased of a bed of nails
Crushed today
You yearn for another day
To blow you down
Kissed by an enemy
You live here in harmony
A seldom battering




They cut you down
Too late...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Low" by Blueneck suggest a feeling of being trapped and overwhelmed by external forces, and a sense of longing for escape. The opening lines "Unclothe yourself/ Burn in the sun" can be interpreted as a metaphor for exposure and vulnerability, followed by "Peeling yourself away/ They cut you down," which suggests an oppositional force, possibly an authority or system, that is oppressive and restrictive. The imagery of dancing with the enemy and harmony with spiders could hint at the idea of being complicit in one's own subjugation or simply acknowledging the inevitability of it, while "Caught glass inside of me" invokes a physical sense of pain or injury. The lines "Chased of a bed of nails/ Crushed today" reinforce the idea of a hostile environment, where even the most basic needs are hard to meet, and the desire to live another day is nearly enough.


The chorus of the song, "Too late," gives a sense of fatalism and resignation, as if the singer sees no hope for change or escape from the situation they find themselves in. The repeated lines "They cut you down" can signify a sense of being figuratively, or literally, cut down from something important or of value. The final lines of the song, "You yearn for another day/ To blow you down/ Kissed by an enemy/ You live here in harmony/ A seldom battering/ They cut you down/ Too late..." offer a glimpse into the surrealistic world presented by the lyrics- a place of contradictions and dissonance.
