Desert Grave
Dog Fashion Disco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm diggin you a desert grave
Underneath the burning sun
I'm diggin you a desert grave
You won't be found by anyone

burying the sins of man
In an eternal tomb of sand
Vultures circle in the sky
And you my dear are the reason why

you fought so hard to get away
From the tight grip of death
You tried so hard to run away
Until your last dying breath

burying the sins of man
In a eternal tomb of sand
Vultures circle in the sky
And you my dear are the reason why

go kiss the daylight goodbye
As the sun lays down to die




And comes to end another day
As night falls on your desert grave

Overall Meaning

The meaning behind Dog Fashion Disco's song "Desert Grave" is quite clear from the lyrics. The singer is digging a grave in the desert for someone, and they will likely never be found. The overall tone of the song seems to be one of bitterness and resentment, as the person being buried is the "reason why" the vultures are circling overhead. It's clear that the singer is using this grave as a way to bury the sins of man and to take revenge on this person for something they did.


The song starts with the singer saying they're "diggin you a desert grave" and that "you won't be found by anyone". The first verse is about burying the sins of man in an eternal tomb of sand and the vultures circling overhead. The second verse talks about the person fighting hard to get away from death but ultimately failing. The chorus repeats the same lines about burying the sins of man and the vultures circling in the sky.


The song then ends with the singer telling the person to "go kiss the daylight goodbye" as the sun sets and another day ends. This final line serves as a chilling reminder that the person being buried will never see the light of day again.


Overall, "Desert Grave" is a dark and haunting song about revenge and the ultimate price someone pays for their actions.

I couldn’t find this song on YouTube. Not sure why so I figured out how to upload it. One of my all time favorites! These guys are extremely talented and their music is often dark. Their catalogue is very eclectic and very entertaining. The imagery and feelings they create through their music is amazing!
