Show Me the Door Lyrics
Check it out, check it out
The faith’s going away
Sometimes when I’m lying down
I feel like I’m fighting us
Looks like we’re setting the stage
For a classic demise
You made it this far
Just a little bit more
Before we show you the door
Sometimes you just want to die
Sometimes you don’t wanna die
Sometimes the lowest of tides
Caught me like
Rush to the knife
You made it this far
Just a little bit more
Before we show you the door
Check it out, check it out
The faith’s going away
Before we show you the door
I’ll center the rise
The lowest of tides
Caught me like
Rush to the knife
The faith’s going away
I feel like I’m fighting us
Looks like we’re setting the stage
For a classic demise
Just a little bit more
Before we show you the door
Sometimes you don’t wanna die
Sometimes the lowest of tides
Caught me like
Rush to the knife
Just a little bit more
Before we show you the door
The faith’s going away
The lowest of tides
Caught me like
Rush to the knife

My interpretation of this song is that of someone making the ultimate choice of whether to continue living or ~check out early so to speak. The references to dying are overt but it seems like the singer is conflicted about what decision they’ll ultimately make and it depends on your interpretation of “the knife”
I imagine someone walking as far out as they can during an extreme low tide. Being beckoned by their depressive thoughts and a desire for peace especially in these lyrics: “You made it this far Just a little bit more Before we show you the door”
Basically saying just a little bit more and it’ll all be over. The outro is the most consequential part of the song: “I center the rise, the lowest of tides” to me means ‘I’ve made my decision.’ However, “Caught me like, rush to the knife” sounds like someone who has had second thoughts and is making the last minute decision to flee to the knife of safety where there is pain but also life, or someone who is surprised by the certainty of death and permanency of their decision as the rush of the current pulls them under.
