Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings Lyrics

Jesus Christ, girl
What are people gonna think
When I show up to one of several funerals
I've attended for grandpa this week
With you
With me

Someone's gotta help me dig
Someone's gotta help me dig

Jesus Christ, girl
It hasn't been long so it seems
Since I was picking out an island and a tomb for you
At the Hollywood Cemetery
You kiss
On me

We should let this dead guy sleep
We should let this dead guy sleep

Jesus Christ, girl
I laid up for hours in a daze
Retracing the expanse of your American back
With Adderall and weed in my veins
You came
I think
'Cause the marble made my cheeks look pink
But I'm unsure of so many things
Ooh

Someone's gotta help me dig
Someone's gotta help me dig
Someone's gotta help me dig

What is the Meaning of Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings?

In this poignant narrative, the songwriter grapples with themes of mortality, love, and existential uncertainty. The repeated phrase "Someone's gotta help me dig" suggests a plea for assistance in processing grief and navigating the complexities of life. The references to attending multiple funerals and picking out a tomb may symbolize an ongoing confrontation with death, while the mention of 'Adderall and weed' indicates attempts to escape or numb these harsh realities. The ambiguous relationship with the 'girl' adds another layer of complexity; their interactions at a funeral hint at finding comfort or distraction in romance amidst sorrow. Ultimately, this song paints a vivid picture of human vulnerability faced with life's inevitable losses and uncertainties. #Mortality #ExistentialCrisis #LoveAndLoss
