Bury Me
Bloody Knees Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel dreadful most days
And I've got my head full
Of bad things
And I feel useless
All the time
And I'm a loser
I've lost my mind
I've lost my mind

I feel helpless
No control
Yeah I've been callous
Now I'm miserable

And I'll push my eyes
Inside my skull
Slice off my ears
Rip out my tongue
That sounds like fun
And that sounds like fun
And that sounds like fun
So bury me this time I'm done
That sounds like fun
So bury me
Yeah bury me
Oh bury me
Oh bury me

I'll push my eyes
Inside my skull
Slice off my ears
Rip out my tongue
That sounds like fun
That sounds like fun
And that sounds like fun
So bury me this time I'm done
That sounds like fun
So bury me
Yeah bury me

Oh bury me
Oh bury me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bloody Knees's song Bury Me describe the feeling of worthlessness and despair that the singer feels. The opening lines say "I feel dreadful most days" which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer's mind is full of negativity and they can't find any relief from their mental state. They describe themselves as a loser, someone who has lost their mind. The repetition of the phrase "that sounds like fun" suggests a morbidly humorous outlook, as though the only solution is to physically mutilate oneself.

The singer describes feeling helpless and out of control, having been callous in the past and now feeling miserable. The chorus echoes again the desire to peel away physical senses until they are "done" and can be buried. The final line of the song, "Oh bury me," suggests that the singer is ready for the final end to their pain, whatever that may be.

The lyrics in Bloody Knees's song Bury Me seem to explore the depths of depression and hopelessness. The imagery of self-mutilation adds a disturbing element to the song and gives a sense of what the singer may feel compelled to do to find relief. However, the fact that the song ends with the singer asking to be buried could suggest a desire for peace, even if it comes through death.
