Regret
Corpse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stone cold in the grave six feet under in your little cave death you thought was the only answer then life forgot and hell begun lost alone in the place grasping for something trying to keep face your head is above the water only to give your suffocating dying to live wanted to die but always denied never believe in being set free you decided which way you would go now death begins finally you're there and life is gone the tour was short and now it's done you had the chance to turn it around now your wasted away under ground remorse and regret of wasted times spent when out of control a puppet to the master of your soul to blind to see in hell you dwell dying to live




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Corpse's song Regret explore the theme of remorse and regret over wasted time and missed opportunities. The first verse describes the singer as being "stone cold in the grave" and "six feet under in your little cave," suggesting that they have already died and been buried. The lyrics then suggest that the singer believed death was the only solution to their problems and that they are now suffering in hell. They are described as being alone and grasping for something to hold onto, all while trying to keep up appearances to hide their true feelings. The chorus of "dying to live" suggests that the singer wanted to die but was denied and unable to find a way out of their misery. They are experiencing the remorse and regret of having wasted their life and having been controlled by someone or something else.


The second verse continues on this theme, suggesting that the singer had the chance to turn their life around but wasted it away. They are now underground and experiencing the consequences of their choices. The lyrics suggest that the singer was a puppet to the master of their soul, implying that they were controlled by something else and unable to take control of their own life. They were so blinded by this control that they couldn't see the path they were on was leading to hell. The final line of the song ties it all together, expressing the dichotomy between dying to live and living to die - the singer wanted to die but was actually living in a form of death.
