Lyrics for Black Dirt as interpreted by janeisagirlsname

Black Dirt Lyrics
here on the ground
i cannot hear a sound
just a strong and steady rain
getting louder as you sing

it may be true that i lied
i broke a promise that i tried
but my heart no longer beats
my blood makes black dirt under your feet

black dirt will stain your feet and when you walk you'll leave black dirt in the street

i could feel my face grow pale
sick with fear my senses fail
and as the light fades from my eyes
i smile but don't know why
legs are growing to the heat of the sun
and my heart no longer beats

black dirt will stain your feet and when you walk you'll leave black dirt in the street
black dirt will stain your feet and when you walk you'll leave black dirt in the street

here on the ground i lie
i cannot hear a sound as i die
it may be true that i lied
broke a promise that i tried
but my heart no longer beats
and when you kill you'll only leave
black dirt under your feet

black dirt will stain your feet and when you walk you'll leave black dirt in the street
black dirt will stain your feet and when you walk you'll leave black dirt in the street
black dirt will stain your feet and when you walk you'll leave black dirt in the street
black dirt will stain your feet and when you walk you'll leave black dirt in the street

i think that it starts out with him just kinda being helpless "lieing on the ground" and the other person is crying and crying harder as they basically yell and go through all of the previous actions. then it says how he lied and broke a promise that im guessing was really big and so they broke up with him so his heart no longer beats but now since the truth is out he basically blead his emotions all over the place but she doesnt take him back killing him even though it wasnt really THAT bad and so now he is saying how the other person will always have that guilt of those raw emotions and killing of his heart and track it everywhere.

idk. maybe. farfetched?

I personally think it's about being murdered. The narrator has done somebody wrong (so to speak) and is murdered in retaliation. The song is describing how he is dying and how it feels (in explicit detail).

As he describes the black dirt, it's how he hopes his murder will stay with her (I assume it's a girl who wants revenge) and that she'll have to live with it (black dirt will stain your feet and when you walk, you'll leave black dirt on the street....)

The song is not about a murder.
It sounds like the narrator lied to his girlfriend, he broke a promise he swore to her. about what, who knows. However, she was fed up with it, so she dumped him. the black dirt came from his "blood" after she "stepped on his heart." She metaphorically killed his spirit, after the break up. So when she walks, she steps with the blood of his broken heart constantly on her feet.

I think this song is about corruption, nothing specific, just general corruption and evil. How it consumes you, and how it spreads. "and when you walk you'll leave black dirt in the street"

I think this song is about the singer becoming a zombie after being killed...and now hes walking around town scaring people...with black dirt falling off him and he walks around the street -- and hes saying that when he kills other people they too will be like him.

its wild but its the first thing that came to mind.
