It Lives It Breathes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Survive
Grave-digger, dig a hole
Just a little bit deeper in this world
Got a girl who's frozen with fright
Will you bury her with me tonight?
And suddenly you make me feel alive
Even when I have no pulse to find
The gates have opened wide
(Tonight, tonight, tonight)
They know this is our time
(For evolution, freeze tonight)
You keep on shouting, I still know the truth
I know you love me too
Let me give you a thriller
Let me give you the nightmare of your life
Give you the creeps, let me know you think you can survive
I know what you feel in your heart
And when we're six feet under
Baby we'll be dancing in the dark
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Don't tell me this is not the one that I live for
Mirror, mirror on your wall
Don't tell me this not the one that I'd kill for
The one that I'd kill for
Let me give you a thriller
Let me give you the nightmare of your life
Give you the creeps, let me let you think you can survive
I know what you feel in your heart
And when we're six feet under
Baby we'll be dancing in the dark, whoa
Take my hand my lady
Give me the chance to say
Yeah, my mind's departed offers
Give me the chance to pray to you
As the one I worship
You, the only one I could adore in this eternal slumber
You, as I'm now knocking at your door
Yes you're perfect, yes you're god
You're my madness, you're my goddamn everything
All that I have and all that I love
Let me give you a thriller
Let me give you the nightmare of your life
Give you the creeps, let me let you think you can survive
I know what you feel in your heart
And when we're six feet under
Baby we'll be dancing in the dark

Line by Line Meaning
Let me give you up
I want to let you go
Survive
Keep on living and fighting
Grave-digger, dig a hole
A request to dig a grave
Just a little bit deeper in this world
Bury me deep so I can fade away
Got a girl who's frozen with fright
Someone who's scared and needs comfort
Will you bury her with me tonight?
A request to be buried together
She tied the noose around my heart
She has control over my emotions
And suddenly you make me feel alive
You bring me back to life
Even when I have no pulse to find
Even when I feel dead inside
The gates have opened wide
An opportunity has presented itself
(Tonight, tonight, tonight)
The moment is now
They know this is our time
The universe is aligning for us
(For evolution, freeze tonight)
Embrace the changes, stop fighting
You keep on shouting, I still know the truth
Despite your protests, I know what's real
I know you love me too
I'm aware of your feelings for me
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Addressing a reflective surface
Don't tell me this is not the one that I live for
This is what I live for
Mirror, mirror on your wall
Referring to the same reflective surface
Don't tell me this not the one that I'd kill for
I would do anything for this
The one that I'd kill for
This is something worth dying for
Take my hand my lady
Hold my hand, my love
Give me the chance to say
Let me express myself
Yeah, my mind's departed offers
My thoughts are scattered
Give me the chance to pray to you
Allow me to express my devotion to you
As the one I worship
The one I adore
You, the only one I could adore in this eternal slumber
You're the only one for me in life and death
You, as I'm now knocking at your door
I'm coming to you
Yes you're perfect, yes you're god
You're everything to me
You're my madness, you're my goddamn everything
You drive me crazy but you're everything to me
All that I have and all that I love
You're all I have and love
Let me give you a thriller
I'm going to scare you
Let me give you the nightmare of your life
I'll give you a truly terrifying experience
Give you the creeps, let me let you think you can survive
I'll make you scared but give you hope
I know what you feel in your heart
I understand your emotions
And when we're six feet under
When we're dead and buried
Baby we'll be dancing in the dark
We'll continue to be together even in death
Dancing in the dark
Our love will endure beyond death
