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.
One Foot In The Grave
Creature Feature Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Surely frighten you out of your skin
There once was a god-fearing man
who unfortunately woke up stone cold dead
I've got one foot in the grave
And in its shackles I'm its slave
And here I lie
The pearly gates turned me away
In this sarcophagus I lay
No longer dead
but I am bored of breath
I can feel the cold night air
I can feel the decay there
I can feel it in the wind
In death I have been born again.
Gather round to hear
a bleak tale
In harrowing detail
of the utmost suffering
There once was a bizarre outcast
a bedeviled lost soul
searching for his end
The grim reaper snuck up on me
When I was most unsuspecting
with scythe in hand
and my life in remand
The heavens did dismiss of me
they spit me out and let me be
I am deceased
But I can't rest in peace
I can feel the cold night air
I can feel the decay there
I can feel it in the wind
In death I have been born again
In truth, I fear this life appears
in death exiled from eternity
So it appears this life I fear
In death ostracized from mortality
I've got one foot in the grave
And in its shackles I'm its slave
And here I lie
With all the night
The pearly gates turned me away
In this sarcophagus I lay
No longer dead
but I am bored of breath
I can feel the cold night air
I can feel the decay there
I can feel it in the wind
In death I have been born again
The song "One Foot In The Grave" by Creature Feature is a dark and eerie tale of a man who has died and is trapped in a state of limbo between life and death. The song describes the man's struggle to accept his fate and the pain and suffering he experiences as he is unable to move on. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the man's torment, describing the cold night air, the decay, and the wind that he can feel even though he is dead.
The song also discusses the man's fear that he is exiled from both eternity and mortality. He has one foot in the grave, and in its shackles, he is its slave. The pearly gates have turned him away, and he now lies in a sarcophagus, no longer dead but bored of breath. It's a haunting tale of one man's struggle to come to grips with his own mortality.
The song is a powerful commentary on the human condition, our fear of death, and the struggle to come to terms with it. It reminds us that, in the end, we will all face the same fate, and that it is up to us to make the most of the time we have.
