We are working on billies songs and my group got the song “six feet under” and i had to find out what the lyrics meant and they meant that she lost herself trying to find that one special person back then but now they betrayed her and when she says “six feet under ” it means its buried far down but she also wants it all again she wants to feel the love bloom and wants to cherish every moment but she cant because of how they hurt her .
The key is B-minor and the BPM is 68 and the song has a vi – V -IV chord progression. The song uses diatonic harmony and has a fairly simple and repetitive chord progression also the melody is pentatonic.
The pitch of the melody lowers in the lyric six feet under . Reflecting on the image of being buried. The chorus is higher in pitch and has a different rhythmic pattern to the verse.
