Six Feet Under Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I remember the day that they took me away
They came and took me away
The broken people
Are now in control
We will take back what is ours
Alone no longer
I will share my grave with you
I will share my grave with you
I will share my grave
With you
The lyrics to Six Feet Under's song Crossroads To Armageddon reflect on the singer's past and present experiences. The opening line, "I remember the night, I remember the day that they took me away," suggests that the singer has been through some sort of traumatic experience that was likely out of their control. The next line, "They came and took me away," confirms this suspicion, although it is unclear who "they" are or why they took the singer away.
The following lines discuss the state of the world around the singer. The "broken people" are now in control, suggesting that something has gone wrong in society that has led to people being "broken." However, the singer says "we will take back what is ours," indicating that they are not willing to simply accept this state of affairs. Finally, the last lines of the song express a willingness to share a grave with another person. This can be interpreted in various ways - perhaps the singer is expressing a deep connection with someone, or a desire to die together.
Overall, the lyrics to Crossroads To Armageddon are somewhat cryptic and open to interpretation. However, they seem to reflect a sense of resistance against a broken and oppressive system.
