Monument
B.O.O.M. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Often we rely to
Nothing but goodbyes
Time to leave
Extra Sweet
A gift touched with gloves, keep care my
Love.
My friend.
Oh fuck such an end.
No no end - new beginning.
Under the burning sun
Might have been a fast run
Entered for winning, tho.
Nomads we are.
Tenderly skinny.
Sold Out, bro.
Silence
between to birds,
they keep the words
Inside.
Weirdness in this garden.
Love in this garden.
Insecurity. Purity.
Like a global scream.
Dreamers never learn.
Gonna burn that fire down.
No question about keep running.
You are not here. Time has stopped anyway.
Grey tears laughing about us, severe. This part sucks. This part sucks.
Right here I‘m gonna stand up and run for my life. Run for my mind.
It’s kind of stupid to rewind.
Blind birds can’t fly.
The lyrics in B.O.O.M.'s song, "Monument," express the feeling of loss and the emotions that come with it. The opening lines, "Man don't die, often we rely to nothing but goodbyes" suggest that people's fear of death often leads them to avoid connecting with others, resulting in a world full of goodbyes. The repeated line, "Remember the relief, extra sweet, a gift touched with gloves, keep care my love," creates a sense of finality and a need for the listener to cherish their loved ones while they still have them, as though they are a gift that must be treasured.
The song then takes on a more introspective tone, with the lines "Weirdness in this garden, love in this garden, insecurity, purity, like a global scream," creating a sense of inner turmoil and confusion. This is followed by the lines,"Dreamers never learn, gonna burn that fire down, no question about keep running," which suggest that those with a creative spirit must continue to strive despite the challenges and obstacles that they may face. The final lines, "Right here I'm gonna stand up and run for my life. Run for my mind," show a willingness to take action and move forward, no matter how difficult the journey may be.

It's sort of foolish to revert.
Blind birds can’t fly.
Birds without sight cannot fly.
