Calli sounds absolutely ethereal in this. There is nothing more to say.

[Adyen]

I love how TK's message about the song is "Make Cali sing something she'll never sing herself." lol...

[klondikesaloon]

It occurred to me that, with Calli's global audience from a variety of native languages and cultures, there was a chance not everyone might be aware that the phrase ""six feet under" refers specifically to the depth dead bodies are buried in cemeteries, six feet (1.83m) underground. This is done to prevent bodies from "floating" back up to the surface over time, wild animals from digging stuff up for a snack, etc. It's not always done in practice, but it's a poetic phrase sometimes used in English.

People sometimes also refer to a "shallow grave", generally meaning a hastily-dug, not-quite-proper burial. In other words, a shallow grave is something done due to dire circumstances, like in the middle of a war, or to conceal a crime.

This is common knowledge in the USA, but perhaps that's not the case everywhere.

A little tip! 2:56 Lyrics: But this beggar is choosin
This phrase makes use of the proverb "beggars can't be choosers". The proverb means that beggars can only accept alms, which are better than none. They have no choice. So in the lyrics, Calli breaks the original meaning of the proverb and wants to express the idea that even if he is in a difficult situation, he can choose the way he should go. So the paraphrase here is "I choose my fate".

[KingJH]

how many big artists do you want to collab with
Calli: yes.

[HakuBlank]

I remember Mori saying how personal this song was to her, but I have to say that it speaks so loudly to me too. Thank you, Mori, it brought me to tears.

[Microglobe]

何気にマスタリングがGigaさん。
チェーンソーマンED曲、First Deathの時もGigaさんだったのよね。

[faenethlorhalien]

It's weird to see this song kind of has faded into oblivion, when it's one of my favorites by Calli.

[bc]

I actually really like how experimental this production was. Really feels like a step up to higher musical experiences.

歌詞(lyrics) 自分用
When I’m gone
I hope it takes no thought at all
To reminisce at our old photos,
stuck to rotted wall
Picturesque, full of lovely dreams
I’d never wanna let ‘em know
how the mighty would fall
Days at the start line,
simple, fragile, frail
Somehow the dark room
washed out their every detail
When did our hearts lose
pulse and tip the scale?
< 演奏 >
Who was I back at the start?
Young, foolish, idealistic
Thinking I could take
what was perfect and “fix it”
Sinking even lower,
life was good, now it’s twisted
Deals with the devil
that I should have resisted
Watching, waiting
Conscience fading
Romance-speak
like “hopes and dreams” are just one
Reality is made of many,
I’m out-gunned
Watching, waiting
My self-hating
Never figured
why I was surprised to find
Half-truths are an alibi for
straight up lies
Now
Feels like I’m singing
six feet underground
This heart is beating
without any sound
There are no second chances for me
Nobody’s likely to come back around
Upon the ashes of
what once grew here
I’ll plant a seed and depart
by night fall
Was I the hero no one believed?
Was I the villain after all?
< 演奏 >
Innocent days are in distant hindsight
And the imminent nostalgia,
it hits and blind-sides me
What remains couldn’t
match the dream
Or explain how it all went
so down-stream
Watching, waiting
Conscience fading
More alone now than ever before
A wretched god of a mess
on a dusty castle floor
Watching, waiting
My self-hating
Good to be the hate-sink,
I can take the blame
Collect power from the pointless pain
People wanna see the beauty
where there is none
In a world that doesn’t
compensate anyone
Afraid of ugliness,
they back away and run
Look at me directly, we’re not done
Sometimes to do what’s right
You have got to fight
Tooth and nail to
Break rules and chase the light
I can’t stop the noise
I can’t sleep tonight
Would you catch me here,
need a sign?
Watching, waiting
Conscience fading
My self-hating
Isolating
Shade
朽ちていく 理想の花
乾ききった 蜜の味
あの頃の ユートピアが
夢隠しに あったみたい
どこまで行けるかな
バラバラにされたヒーロー
輝きの暗闇に堕ちながら再生する
Jump, fall, stay alive
Just wanna save a live
Jump, fall, stay alive
Just wanna save a live
Jump, fall, left behind
Just give me one more try
Jump, fall, left behind
Just give me one more try
Feeling less of a human
like every day I’ve been losing
A little more of me, I’m sorry
But this beggar is choosin’
To run away at the eleventh hour
Living in infamy
There is nothing left here for me
There is nothing left dear to me
Cuz I wanna escape it
Nothing gets better until I make
The decision to double it down
And double triple the stakes
I’m never giving in I’m invincible
Nobody stand in my way I’m a criminal
Unwinnable battles cover the city in
Syllables
In a silence so deafening
Never be ever be anyone else
Brave
人が人を傷つけて 愛とか夢 着続けて
Still dreaming you’ll accept me
Imperfect, in shambles,
it hurts but I want you to smile

[Satirical_Anarchist]

Honestly pumped Tk and Mori are some of my favorite artists

[tyncho]

another song which I don't understand why it doesn't have 10 million views, the production, the MV, everything is incredible!!!

[paradiseost]

死神がsix feet underから現れるのか帰るのか… ちなみにsix feet

[AllHailMerp-DBMusician]

Calli and TK is a combo I never would have expected and this is absolutely AWESOME

[dudeguy]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but at 3:06 I tried to measure her speed and it sounds like she was rapping somewhere around 11-12 syllables per second.
For context, Eminem holds the world record for fastest rap verse in Godzilla, at 12.73 syllables per second.

[Editisyn]

Mori Calliope's evolution as an artist is phenomenal. 'Six Feet Under' is her at her best, and TK's contribution is nothing short of brilliant.

[IWTHMF]

I never left a comment about the song on the MV now that I noticed...
I think Calli's lyricism was beyond spectacular in Six Feet Under! That, plus her crazy good vocals and TK's out of this world's music make this song one of my absolute favorites out of her whole discography!
And man the visuals for the MV are so good. Definitely my top 1 MV of any of her songs..!

[oyunyldz_ytbrpro]

It's incredible to see how Mori's rap and TK's rock have merged to create such an unforgettable track. 'Six Feet Under' will be on repeat for a long time.

[FumeiKY]

When Calli said the Collab was wild, I still didn't expect TK! Can't express how proud I am as a deadbeat

[NicholasLightTV]

This is your best song. Needs to be shown to everyone. Wow
