Burial
Adamantium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We've come so far but we still bleed we still scar
We can't let go of these memories buried whole
What makes us us what makes us close
You can't create you can't unfold
A bond that can not be broken
One word one voice
We still bleed we still scar.
The lyrics of "Burial" by Adamantium are a reflection of the human struggle to come to terms with one's identity and the past that shapes it. The opening lines "So close so far we see who we are" speak to the idea that despite how much we've grown and learned, we must still confront the scars we carry from our past - "We've come so far but we still bleed we still scar." The reference to memories "buried whole" suggests that we bury the past to move forward, but it remains an integral part of who we are.
The chorus brings up the idea that some things are unchangeable - "You can't create you can't unfold / A bond that can not be broken." The repetition of "one word one voice / one word one choice" underscores the importance of our decisions shaping our identity. The final line, "We still bleed we still scar," drives home the idea that despite our efforts to forget or move on, the past remains a part of us.
Overall, "Burial" is a powerful reflection on the interplay between past and present, and how our wounds shape who we are.
