Six Feet Under Lyrics
In the morning I wake up
And in the night I sleep
Since the day I was born
Repeat, repeat, repeat
Brought to this life
Born to this life
Where was I before?
Non-existent? Not at all?
Will I ever know?
Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And someday...
Hard to believe
But I'll be buried six feet underground
Subconsciously motivated natural instinct
Alter nature for the pleasure
Orthocycline
Flirt with conceptions
Slow the cycle
Will the baby grow?
Social tradition interference
Control, control, control
Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And someday...
Hard to believe
But I'll be buried six feet underground
Spinning, spinning
Before I can recall
All the unknown chemicals
Control the cycle
The successive generations
From dust to dust
Burying my grandma
Give birth to my own daughter
Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And someday...
Hard to believe
But I'll be buried six feet underground
Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And someday...
Hard to believe
But I'll be buried six feet underground
I'll be dead and gone, no longer around
I'll be buried six feet underground
And in the night I sleep
Since the day I was born
Repeat, repeat, repeat
Brought to this life
Born to this life
Where was I before?
Non-existent? Not at all?
Will I ever know?
And I get one every year
And someday...
Hard to believe
But I'll be buried six feet underground
Alter nature for the pleasure
Orthocycline
Flirt with conceptions
Slow the cycle
Will the baby grow?
Social tradition interference
Control, control, control
And I get one every year
And someday...
Hard to believe
But I'll be buried six feet underground
Before I can recall
All the unknown chemicals
Control the cycle
The successive generations
From dust to dust
Burying my grandma
Give birth to my own daughter
And I get one every year
And someday...
Hard to believe
But I'll be buried six feet underground
And I get one every year
And someday...
Hard to believe
But I'll be buried six feet underground
I'll be dead and gone, no longer around
I'll be buried six feet underground
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
I think this song is just simply about realizing the whole human experience. We live we die. No one knows where we come from or where we will go. Everything we experience is ours alone, but at the same time it fits into history, into the collective of our species.
I think it captures the helplessness of the human existence. We attempt to control the cycle. We can stop conception, delay the next generation but in the long run we will all die, just as we were all born.
It's existential. Facing your own death. Rarely do you find a song that speaks of such things.

I really like this song.
I listen to it every year on my birthday. Heh.
I miss ND sooo much. when gwen was writting songs that had some meaning...
this is the shit!!!
This song is very similar to how I treat my birthdays. I get one every year, and it's just the same ol' same ol'. Out of all the things I can control (conception, especially- thanks, birth control!), I can't control me getting older, so I don't make a big fuss about it.
So I also listen to this song every year, at least once, on my birthday. XD
