Why We Build The Wall (Hadestown) The repetitive and cyclical nature of the lyrics invokes the oppressive nature of The Buried. Hadestown is a walled city whose citizens engage in mindless, soulless work in exchange for the security promised by their boss-king Mister Hades. The security comes at the cost of their identity, and the work is never done.

Dig Me (King Crimson) I'm ready to leave I wanna be out of here I'm ready to ride away I don't wanna die in here I'm ready to ride

Dig me But don't Bury me

Dig Me (Live in Japan, 1984) King Crimson

Dig Me (Live in Japan, 1984) King Crimson lyrics: It’s here I sit and rust amid this ruin and rancor Like tire irons, toothy grills and car parts before me The acid rain floods my floorboard, burns my pores and rots my upholstery Once I was worshipped, polished magnificently Now I lay in decay by the dirty angry bay I’m ready to leave I wanna be out of here I’m ready to ride away I don’t wanna die in here I’m ready to ride My skin is metallic now, no longer an elegant powder blue My body unhinged and sleeping in the jungle Of motor block manifolds and metal relics What was deluxe becomes debris, I never questioned loyalty But this dead end demolishes the dreams of an open highway I’m ready to leave I wanna be out of here I’m ready to ride away I don’t wanna die in here I’m ready to ride Dig me…but don’t…bury me
