Cover art for Shallow Grave lyrics by Tallest Man on Earth, The

I see Christian imagery in this song, and Tallest Man not being saved. He has emptied the rocks out of his pockets, and raised the bottom of the ocean to make it easier for him to be saved (baptized). But when he goes into the water, no one baptizes him, it's just a shallow grave.

He found the darkness of his neighbor (Christians), and now he needs the guidance of the lost.
