Big Foot
Tutankhamun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So close that I can see
There's nowhere left to hide
Big Foot why do you come to me
Take hold like a disease
Lucifer in disguise
But it's in my eyes
In my blood
Always something in between
Tried to run
I Tried to hide
Always something in between
Big Foot you're hands are all I feel
I'm moving down to kneel
Surrender at your side
Big Foot my mind is your's to peel
You're the only thing that's real
You're gunna win this fight
I asked you to leave me here, to leave me clear
But it's in my eyes
In my blood
Always something in between
Tried to run
I Tried to hide
Always something in between
The lyrics of Tutankhamun's song "Big Foot" seem to be about someone who is being pursued by a powerful and all-consuming force that they can't seem to escape from. The repeated phrase "Big Foot" could be a metaphor for this force, which could represent a number of things depending on how the song is interpreted. Perhaps it's an addiction, a toxic relationship, a mental illness, or even death itself. The persona in the song feels powerless against this force, which is presented as something that is always lurking in the background, ready to pounce at any moment.
The first verse sets the mood for the rest of the song. The persona is aware that there is something coming after them, and they can feel its presence growing stronger each day. They have tried to hide and run, but the force is too close now, and there is nowhere left to go. The second verse introduces the idea of "Lucifer in disguise," which could suggest that this force is something evil or sinister. The persona is begging for it to leave them alone, but it's clear that it has already taken hold of them in some way.
The chorus provides some insight into the state of mind of the persona. They feel like they are constantly battling against this force, which is always present in some form. It's in their eyes and their blood, and it feels like there is no escaping it. The third verse describes a physical surrender to the force, as the persona realizes that they can't fight it any longer. The force is now in control of their mind, and they are resigned to letting it have its way.
