Exhume Lyrics

Half sunk in the mud
With one eye showing
A cracked smile
And hair still growing
Your hands miles apart
As if they'd never met
You were the happiest
I'd seen you yet

Cover art for Exhume lyrics by Bedhead

I wasn't quite sure until my friend told me and it clicked how obvious it was. He killed his girlfriend/lover/whatever and is digging her up after the funeral. Maybe the circumstances are different but he's definitely digging up a body. Man this band is sick.

Unless your friend knows something specific about what was meant behind the songs, I think it's a stretch to say he killed the person referred to in the song. He's definitely digging that person up though. I'd say it's more about the realization that some people might be happier in death than we ever saw of them in life.

On re-reading my comment a couple years later, I can say 1) I am terrible at piecing together sentences and 2) I completely made that part up.
