Build a Wall
Art of Dying Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your words are mortar and limestone
One wall?s okay
You?re still easy to find
Put up a second wall
Corner yourself and hide
I can come around
Tell me how
How does it finally feel to be free
Tell me how
With those beautiful eyes you can?t see
put up a third wall
And watch the ocean roll in
I?m a note in a bottle
The tide will wash me in
Put up a final wall
Lock me out of your life
I?m coming over top
I will scale, I will climb
I will climb
Tell me how
How does it finally feel to be free
Tell me how
With those beautiful eyes you can?t see
I?m an ocean of will in a desert of truth
Not one wall stands in front of me
With both arms I reach out to you
But you seal the top with stone
Lock me out for good
All you?ve really done is locked yourself in
You are buried alive
Tell me how
How does it finally feel to be free
Tell me how
With those beautiful eyes you can?t see
The song "Build a Wall" by Art of Dying is a powerful track about building metaphorical walls around oneself, and what it takes to break free from those walls. The song contains lyrics like, "Build a wall from me, your words are mortar and limestone, one wall's okay, you're still easy to find." These lyrics refer to the idea that the walls we build around ourselves can be constructed through words, actions, and even beliefs. The first wall is not so bad, but as we build more and more walls, we ultimately limit ourselves and trap ourselves in our own world.
The second verse of the song goes on to say, "Put up a final wall, lock me out of your life. I'm coming over top, I will scale, I will climb." This verse speaks to the desire to break free from our own personal walls, even when those around us are willing to lock us out. It also shows the immense effort and determination required to change ourselves and break the walls that hold us back.
The final verse drives home the message of the song, "All you've really done is locked yourself in, you are buried alive." Though we may think we are building walls to keep others out, in reality, we are trapping ourselves inside a small and limited world. The only way to break free is to take accountability for our own actions and beliefs, and do the hard work necessary to change.
Overall, Art of Dying's "Build a Wall" is a powerful song that speaks to the struggles we all face in breaking free from the limitations we place on ourselves.
Line by Line Meaning
Build a wall from me
Create a barrier between us
Your words are mortar and limestone
Your verbal attacks are the building blocks
One wall's okay
One barrier is enough to keep you away
You're still easy to find
Your location is not hidden
Put up a second wall
Create another obstacle
Corner yourself and hide
Try to escape from me
I can come around
I can find another way to reach you
Meet you on the other side
Engage with you despite your barriers
Tell me how
Explain to me
How does it finally feel to be free
What is it like to be liberated from me
With those beautiful eyes you can?t see
You are not able to see the truth
Put up a third wall
Add another obstacle
And watch the ocean roll in
Observe the waves of life
I'm a note in a bottle
I am reaching out to you in desperation
The tide will wash me in
The force of life will bring us together
Put up a final wall
Add one more barrier
Lock me out of your life
Prevent me from having any access to you
I'm coming over top
I will find a way to breach your barriers
I will scale, I will climb
I will do whatever it takes to get to you
I'm an ocean of will in a desert of truth
I am determined to reach you despite the harsh reality
Not one wall stands in front of me
I am not afraid of your barriers
With both arms I reach out to you
I am reaching out to you from the heart
But you seal the top with stone
You close off every possible entrance
Lock me out for good
Prevent me from ever coming back
All you've really done is locked yourself in
Your walls have trapped you more than they have kept me out
You are buried alive
You are trapped by your own making

Build a wall from me
Your words are mortar and limestone
One wall’s okay
You’re still easy to find
Put up a second wall
Corner yourself and hide
I can come around
meet you on the other side
Tell me how
how does it finally feel to be free
Tell me how
with those beautiful eyes you can’t see
put up a third wall
and watch the ocean roll in
I’m a note in a bottle
The tide will wash me in
Put up a final wall
Lock me out of your life
I’m coming over top
I will scale, I will climb
I will climb
Tell me how
how does it finally feel to be free
Tell me how
with those beautiful eyes you can’t see
I’m an ocean of will in a desert of truth
Not one wall stands in front of me
With both arms I reach out to you
But you seal the top with stone
lock me out for good
all you’ve really done is locked yourself in
You are buried alive
Tell me how
how does it finally feel to be free
Tell me how
with those beautiful eyes you can’t see
