Deathbed Atheist
Norma Jean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Watch it all change and watch it go away.
Watch it all never be the same again.
Watch it all all be nothing like we thought before.
Watch it all. Watch it.
Watch it all be lies, damned lies, statistics.
Lie to me. Lie to me. Lie to me.

Take it all in and take it all from me.
Take it all and bury it deep inside of you.
Take it all and run away.
Take it all forever.
Take it all. x5

Bury your hands in the sand.
You'll never use them on me again.
x2

Lie, take it all.
Take it. Take it all. Take it.
x2

Bury your hands in the sand.
You'll never use them on me again.
x2

I'm exhausted from shaking hands with your meat hook fingers.

This is my nightmare x12
Lie to me, this is my nightmare.
Lie, this is my nightmare, to me.
This is my nightmare. x2

Bury your hands in the sand.
You'll never use them on me again.
x2

And I'm exhausted from shaking hands with your meat hook fingers.

Lies, damned lies, statistics.
Lie to me. Lie to me. Lie to me.

Lie, bury your hands in the sand.




Lie, you'll never use them on me again.
Lie.

The singer is watching as everything they thought was true is taken away from them, leaving them feeling lost and alone. They are aware that the world will never be the same again.


The chorus of the song, "Take it all," suggests that the singer has given up on trying to hold onto anything since everything they held as true turned out to be lies. The line, "I'm exhausted from shaking hands with your meat hook fingers," suggests that the singer has been held captive by someone who has deceived them repeatedly. The song's repetition of the line, "Bury your hands in the sand/You'll never use them on me again," emphasizes the singer's desire to be free of this deception and to move on.
