1. Co… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple artists under the name of Creature Feature:
1. Comprised of the vicious vampiric vocalist Curtis RX and the ghoulishly fiendish organ master Erik X, the California native horror attraction Creature feature is set to take the underworld by storm. Creating a haunting mix of vintage horror visuals, old school beats, a carnival feel and a strangely rebellious approach to the modern ideals, the two monstrous musicians weave tales of the macabre, creating anthems for the horror minded and horror born alike. Tread carefully and enter their world cautiously, for once their talons are in they are a cancer you can't get out.
2. Another band with the same name that formed in the 90s and have released one album - Retrodemon 263 - and disappeared after its release.
Buried Alive
Creature Feature Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of A Certain City In The Sea
As I Walk The Valley Of Unrest
Behind This Mask Of Crimson Death
I Long For A Loss Of Breath
And A Most Dire Predicament
Murders In The Rue Morgue
I can't Explain just How It Feels
The Thought Of My Premature Burial
Inside This Oblong Box I Lie
With The Hopes I'll Be Buried Alive
The Oval Portrait Upon The Wall
Will Someday Cause This House To Fall
The Power Of Words Left Unsaid
As I Join The Spirits Of The Dead
I Can't Explain Just How It Feels
The Thought Of My Premature Burial
Inside This Oblong Box I Lie
With The Hopes I'll Be Buried Alive
Well, I'm The Man Who's Used Up
Washed Up
Bricked Up
Descent Into Maelstrom
Bedlam
Redrum
Bet The Devil My Head
Misled
Bloodshed
Heart Under The Floorboards
Beats For
Lenore
Nevermore
I can't Explain Just How It Feels
The Thought Of My Premature Burial
Inside This Oblong Box I Lie
With The Hopes I'll Be Buried Alive
The lyrics of Creature Feature's song "Buried Alive" are heavily influenced by the works of Edgar Allan Poe. The first stanza starts with the line "I Forever Dream Within A Dream", which is a reference to one of Poe's most famous works, the poem "A Dream Within a Dream". The next line, "Of A Certain City In The Sea", is a reference to another one of Poe's works, "The City in the Sea". The next line "As I Walk The Valley Of Unrest" refers to Poe's poem "The Valley of Unrest" and "Behind This Mask Of Crimson Death" could be a reference to his short story "The Masque of the Red Death".
The second stanza mentions "Murders In The Rue Morgue", which is the title of one of Poe's detective stories. The line "Silence And Shadow's What I Adore" could be a reference to another one of Poe's poems, "An Acrostic". The chorus of the song expresses the singer's desire to be buried alive, which was a common fear in Poe's time due to medical practices that often mistook people for dead.
The third stanza includes references to many of Poe's works, including "The Oval Portrait", "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Black Cat", and "The Tell-Tale Heart". The final chorus repeats the singer's desire to be buried alive.
Overall, the lyrics of "Buried Alive" are a tribute to the Gothic horror and dark romanticism associated with Edgar Allan Poe's works, capturing the fear and fascination with death that were prevalent in his time.
