Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Upon my shoulders
And its weight seems unbearable
Your tomb is where your heart is,
I should have told her
But within Me a secret so terrible
To cry is to know that you're alive
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
The kiss of vanity you blessed me with a spiritual murder
Fed the gods of war
Your home is there in the darkness, I should have told her
Embrace the fire indestructible
To die is to know that you're alive
And my river of blood won't run dry
I never wanted to lose you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
If I should die before I wake
Bring no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
Oh, it seems to cry is to know that you're alive
And my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And a desert soul is gone
A cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile,
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
Buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love

A bizarre one for sure. Who buried you and why? What were you buried in? Who were you buried on?? And, did he/she/they enjoy it? 😂
Happy Halloween, Chris! I hope you're out doing something spooky. 👻🎃🦇🐈⬛

A very claustrophobic situation indeed. I would certainly panic in such situation. Anyway, seeing you being so kind and thankful to the random monster was so cute!

That corpse staring back has to be one of the most creepiest things I've seen in video games

Your intros for these things are great. "And of course, if you want to be buried alive...", I swear someone is going to take a collection of clips for this and assemble a CJU-Out-Of-Context compilation.
