Six Foot Deep
Creature Feature Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I bury the dead, yeah
Secret place in my head
Shovel underneath my bed
Caught with my hands red

Midnight is creeping in
My tightrope is wearing thin
Watching the devil grin
Darkness, it waits within

All I've ever known
Is the unknown
In my haunted home
With the rattling bones
In my heart of stone
Where the ghosts roam
When the walls bleed
I will bury you deep

I will bury you deep
Six foot deep
Six foot

Walk to the boneyard
Wind is blowing so hard
Carrying the death card
Mind is broken into shards

In this place that I despise
Something therein evil lies
Planning out my grim demise
Someday we all shall die

All I've ever known
Is the unknown
In my haunted home
With the rattling bones
In my heart of stone
Where the ghosts roam
When the walls bleed
I will bury you deep

I will bury you deep




Six foot deep
Six foot

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Creature Feature's "Six Foot Deep" paint a dark and eerie picture of someone who is haunted by the unknown and is seemingly driven by an obsession with death. The opening lines "I bury the dead, yeah, secret place in my head, shovel underneath my bed, caught with my hands red" immediately set the stage for something unsettling. It suggests that the singer is somehow involved in the act of burying the dead, and perhaps even enjoys it.


As the song continues, we get a sense that the singer is grappling with some kind of inner turmoil. The line "midnight is creeping in, my tightrope is wearing thin" suggests a sense of desperation and impending doom. This feeling is compounded by the sinister image of "the devil grin" and "darkness, it waits within." It's almost as if the singer is being consumed by some kind of malevolent force.


The chorus of the song is a repeated refrain of "all I've ever known is the unknown, in my haunted home, with the rattling bones, in my heart of stone, where the ghosts roam. When the walls bleed, I will bury you deep." This suggests that the singer's obsession with death and the unknown has become a permanent fixture in their life. They are unable to escape it, and it seems to be driving them deeper and deeper into darkness.
