City Under Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I may look fine but I'm a fucking mess inside.
Look at me, tell me what you see.
I'm sick of solitude and these illusions.
It blurs my vision, it blurs my sight.
These hands won't slow down time, am I just wasting mine?
I can't begin to say how much I've wanted to cut the throat of this creature,
to take the life from this monster.
Let it bleed, this is my nightmare. Let it bleed, just need to breathe.
Let me bleed, come closer. and watch me bleed.
Oh My God! I'm falling down now fade to black.
I'll let myself go to a place I know I'll hate.
I swear I'll let myself go to a place I know I'll hate.
I've been searching for you, Please bring me home just bring me home.
The lyrics of Gravedigger by City Under Fire describe the mental and emotional struggles of the singer. The opening lyrics reveal the singer's self-loathing tendencies and struggles with their own insecurities. Though they may appear fine on the outside, the singer feels like a mess on the inside. They demand for someone to look at them to understand their pain and their struggles.
As the song progresses, the singer speaks on their frustrations and feelings of isolation. They struggle to see clearly, as their negative thoughts and illusions cloud their judgement. They feel like time is running out and they are running out of chances to better themselves. The chorus repeats the phrase "Let it bleed" over and over again, seemingly referring to the idea of letting out their emotions and pain. They need to let it out in order to breathe and continue on.
Towards the end of the song, the singer talks about falling and fading away. They know they need to let themselves go, however, the place they will end up is one they will hate. The song ends on a plea for someone, anyone, to bring the singer home.
Overall, the song Gravedigger describes the struggles of someone grappling with their own inner demons. They want to let go of their pain but fear what will happen if they do. They feel like they don't have anyone to turn to and are trapped within their own mind.
