Dead
Hank von Hell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whatever is fine by me
I′m the outcast, the outlaw the foe
Shuffle the dirt, set me free
It's clear to me, but you don′t see
Your under the spell of the dark
Sing and praise my agony
The moment is here
The moment of me being
Dead! Dead! I'm already dead!
Dead! Dead! I'm already dead!
By the cross, by the book, just a falsified look
Come with your shovels, I′m loving the trouble
My fantasy, your travesty
I′m burning my bridges alone
It's all about me, I′m a bonfide seed
Styling don't suit me at all
Just a matter of time, then the curtains down
Just doesn′t matter, cus I'm all about being
Dead! Dead! I′m already dead!
Dead! Dead! I'm already dead!
Dead! Dead!
Dead! Dead!
Dead! Dead! I'm already dead!
(Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead!)
Dead! Dead! I′m already dead!
Dead! Dead! I′m already dead!
Dead! Dead! Get out of my head
Dead! Dead!
Dead! Dead! Get out of my bed
Hank von Hell's song "Dead in 2-3" is a powerful statement about being misunderstood and rejected by society. The lyrics express the singer's desire to be buried six feet under and set free from the world's judgement. The words "Six feet deep, so bury me under, Whatever is fine by me, I'm the outcast, the outlaw, the foe, Shuffle the dirt, set me free" shows the acceptance of death as an escape from the pain and suffering caused by societal rejection.
The second verse speaks of the singer's realization that he is seen as an enemy and outsider by the world. The line "Your under the spell of the dark, Sing and praise my agony" is a statement that the world is not seeing him for who he truly is, and instead celebrating his downfall. He knows that he is already dead to them in their eyes, hence the repetition of "Dead! Dead! I am already dead."
The bridge provides insight into the singer's mindset, as he talks about his love for trouble, his personal fantasies, and the ease at which he burns bridges, all with a sense of finality towards his fate. He knows that his time is coming, stating "Just a matter of time, then the curtains down, Just doesn't matter, cus I'm all about being Dead!".
In conclusion, the song's lyrics are a powerful statement about the struggle of being misunderstood and rejected by society, and the acceptance of death as a potential escape from the pain and sufferings caused by it.
