My parent’s and I call this the sin album. I talk about many issues including unfair treatment, the inability to live up to expectations, and the inner nature of people. The best stories have a moral lesson to them and I wanted to incorporate that lesson here.

6ftunder~ People unfairly judge others. 6Ft under is about trying to claw your way out of a bad situation. This song addresses the fact that people will find a reason to dislike you and no matter what you do there’s some people you will never please. “Run like hell it ain’t a spell Warlock’s thumb, oh don’t be dumb” This line references the Salem witch trails. Often when someone was born with two thumbs they were considered a witch. You have to embrace the fact that there’s no way to be universally liked by everyone. There’s no way to control someone else’s thoughts or words, but you can control your own. 6Ftunder also points out the hypocrisy that unpins the morality of judgmental people. True for me, but not for thee.
Lyrics:
I was born six feet under
Now I’m running for cover
I’ve been digging forever
Before I’m a goner
Tow down into the ground
They say missy you’ve been messing around
But I’m not doing anything
Boy words can sting
Run like hell it ain’t a spell
Warlock’s thumb, oh don’t be dumb
Messing some place, I haven’t been
When you’re the one who’s sinned
I was born six feet under
Now I’m running for cover
I’ve been digging forever
Before I’m a goner
They call me bad news
But all I’ve doing is singing the blues
And boy I ain’t gonna lose
There ain’t no point in going back
There ain’t no return
There’s no redemption here
I’m not going down
I was born six feet under
Now I’m running for cover
I’ve been digging forever
Before I’m a goner
I was born six feet under
Now I’m running for cover
I’ve been digging forever
Before I’m a goner

6ftunder live:
Born and Raised~ This song is about struggle between the darkest and lightest part of ourselves. The inner demons we wrestle with at night, the dark thoughts that creep into the back of our minds, and the inability to live up to other people’s expectations. No matter how much you try sometimes things don’t work out. This song also addresses the larger societal issue of the lack of care others take. Most people stay in their own little world and don’t care about yours. Something might seem huge to you, but other people wouldn’t even notice it.
Lyrics:
I was born and I was raised to be good always
But where oh where did I go so wrong
Save my brother, love my mother
That’s what it’s always been
But it’s hard to do good
When everyone else surrenders to their sins
I was born and I was raised to be good always
But where oh where did I go so wrong
Oh life my sympathies for I’ve made many enemies
I’ve tried to do better, even though most will never care
It’s worth it’s weight in gold
I was born and I was raised to be good always
But where oh where did I go so wrong
Crumbling at the seams, my darkest sins deep in my dreams
It’s hard to be good even though you know you should
Save my brother, love my mother
That’s what it’s always been
But it’s hard to do good
When everyone else surrenders to their sins
I was born and I was raised to be good always
But where oh where did I go so wrong
Born and Raised lyric video:
Fire~ If you judge solely on looks, you’ll be solely disappointed. Deceit, loneliness, innocence, and desperation can lead anyone into making a bad choice. In Fire a young man is enamored by a beauty, while his best friend is trying to talk him out of it. Even if she looks nice, it can be too good to be true. In this case it is. She is known to hurt you in any possible way, however it does not deter him. He falls deeply in love and she starts to take advantage of him, because he is unable to see the true monster underneath. This song represents his friend’s last attempt to reason with him. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.
Lyrics:
Face like an angel, Tricks like a demon
Gonna leave you dreaming
Gonna start screaming and aching, thinking about her
Boy playing with fire
Fire fire fire
She’ll sweep off your feet, but she ain’t an angel
Everyone has bad and good but she ain’t doing what she should
Boy she’ll sweep you off your feet, but your bound to hit the ground.
Don’t matter how much you love her, boy your playing with fire.
Face like an angel, Tricks like a demon
Gonna leave you dreaming
Gonna start screaming and aching, thinking about her
Boy playing with fire
She’ll make you feel special, then break you in two
You have no idea what she has in store for you
You don’t know her, the best I can tell you now
Is don’t love her she’s playing with fire!
Face like an angel, Tricks like a demon
Gonna leave you dreaming
Gonna start screaming and aching, thinking about her
Face like an angel, Tricks like a demon
Gonna leave you dreaming
Gonna start screaming and aching, thinking about her
Boy playing with fire
Fire fire fire fire
Burn Burn
Fire Lyric video:
Time~ Timing something can be hard. It never know if your late or it’s too soon. This song is about how often people can have remorse to things they say yes to in the moment. When there’s a big decision to be made you need to contemplate it. Don’t rush and don’t be emotional when making your mind up. There needs to be objectivity when planing the future. It’s a hard thing to do but you need to keep your heart out of decisions and learn to take rejection. This song also tackles the subject of not knowing whether someone likes you, or if you’ve made them uncomfortable.
Lyrics:
Take it easy, one step at a time he says to me
Bad intentions accidental romance
I can see it now, won’t leave me alone
Could I be wrong time’s funny that way
Confused or spinning on the top of my head
Gonna say he’s gonna regret it
Time will take it’s course
And we will all have remorse
There’s a time for love and a time for hate
But you never know when it’s too late
Or when you passed the line
It gets harder every time.
Going oh… not another…oh
No no no… not another one
Don’t blow it, control it
Keep saying that
Bad relations
Same thing over and over
There’s a time for love and a time for hate
But you never know when it’s too late
Or when you passed the line
It gets harder every time.
I can see it now
Won’t let me go
Hard to get
Maybe time will regret it
There’s a time for love and a time for hate
But you never know when it’s too late
Or when you passed the line
It gets harder every time.
There’s a time for love and a time for hate
But you never know when it’s too late
Or when you passed the line
It gets harder every time.
Hummm….
Oh…..
No…
Time lyric video:
Walk On By~ This song is about feeling left behind by other people. Live moves on whether you want it to or not. You have to understand how to live for you in a compassionate way. Even if everyone else does not care, that does not mean you shouldn’t either. Sometimes you got to cut off your darker emotions and look at yourself objectively. Walk On By means to understand that if someone isn’t with you, don’t dwell on it or take it as a personal attack. You need to live for you, help others, and if someone else doesn’t like you, so be it.
Lyrics:
For a long while I was stranger
Then I stumbled again and now your my friend
But now I’ve fallen flat on my face again
I hope this failure will end
I’m tired of every waking moment destroying my life.
I’m tired of every heart break got to go through, cuts me like a knife
Then forget me again, how could this be
Maybe this is my destiny to walk on by
Good things bad things what’s the difference
Cause I’m always the bad one
Even if I’m not the one who shot the gun
I’m falling flat on my face
I’m tired of every waking moment destroying my life.
I’m tired of every heart break got to go through, cuts me like a knife
Then forget me again, how could this be
Maybe this is my destiny to walk on by
Friends enemies can you give me room please
Hurt bleeding nobody cares
Unless they’ve fallen flat on their face
No matter what I do, there’s always people that’ll hate you
Oh
I’m tired of every waking moment destroying my life.
I’m tired of every heart break got to go through, cuts me like a knife
