Deep Six
Marilyn Manson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You wanna know what Zeus said to Narcissus
You'd betta watch yourself
You wanna know what Zeus said to Narcissus
You'd better watch yourself
You'd better watch yourself

It's like a stranger had a key, came inside of my mind
And moved all my things around
He didn't know snakes can hear the prey
Can't try to break the psyche down

Yeah

It's in my half frozen wax
And your artillery lead
Do you like our bed
Do you like our bed

Deep 6, 6, 6 feet deep
Deep 6, 6, 6 feet deep

It's like a stranger had a key, came inside of my mind
And moved all my things around
He didn't know snakes can hear the prey
Can't try to break my psyche down

It's in my half frozen wax
And your artillery lead
Do ya like our bed
Do ya like our bed

It's in my half-frozen wax
And your artillery lead
Do you like our bed
Do you like our bed

Deep 6, 6, 6 feet deep
Deep 6, 6, 6 feet deep

Yeah

You wanna know what Zeus said to Narcissus
You'd better watch yourself
Wanna know what Zeus said to Narcissus
You'd better watch yourself
You'd better watch yourself better watch yourself

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Marilyn Manson's song "Deep Six" suggest a sense of paranoia and the feeling of being invaded by an unknown presence - represented by the stranger with a key that came inside the singer's mind and moved things around. This unknown presence tries to break the psyche down, but the singer is aware of its tactics and can't be fooled. The chorus of "Deep six, six, six feet deep" could be interpreted as a metaphor for sinking into darkness or the subconscious, which could be the singer's way of dealing with the chaos and invading thoughts.


The reference to Greek mythology in the opening lines could be interpreted as a warning to Narcissus, who was known to be vain and self-absorbed. The message from Zeus could be interpreted as an admonishment to watch oneself, to be self-aware and not to let vanity and ego take over.
