Count To Six & Die
Razakel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
she's got the dirt and spit of the world
her mouth on the metal
the lips of a scared little girl
I've got an angel in the lobby
he's waiting to put me in line
I won't ask forgiveness
She's got her Christian prescriptures
and death has crawled in her ear
like elevator music of songs
that she shouldn't hear
and it spins around
and we all lay down
some do it fast
and some do it better in smaller amounts
and it spins around
and we all lay down
some do it fast
and some do it better in smaller amounts
In Razakel's song "Count To Six & Die," the lyrics are a commentary on the dark, twisted nature of the world and how different people cope with it. The opening lines, "She's got her eyes open wide, she's got the dirt and spit of the world, her mouth on the metal, the lips of a scared little girl," paint a picture of someone who has seen the ugly side of life and is trying to process it. The metal here could be symbolic of something hard and unyielding, like the world itself, while the scared little girl represents the vulnerability and fear that comes with being a part of it.
The mention of an angel in the lobby waiting to put the singer in line could be a nod to the idea of judgment and the afterlife. The singer refuses to ask for forgiveness, suggesting that they have given up on the concept of redemption or that they believe their sins are too great to be absolved. This is contrasted with the girl's Christian scriptures and her struggle to reconcile her faith with the harsh realities of death and suffering.
The repetition of "and it spins around, and we all lay down" is both a reference to the cyclical nature of life and death and a commentary on how people react to it. Some choose to end their lives quickly, while others prefer to take their time. Ultimately, however, we all meet the same fate.
Overall, "Count To Six & Die" is a haunting, thought-provoking song that offers a bleak view of the world and its more unpleasant aspects.
