Dead
Bones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You?
I've been missing you
But I don't know what to do when we're in this situation
Can't even have a conversation
How am I supposed to feel when I just wanna be talking
But it's always got me feeling like I'm the storm clouds in your blue skies
Cause I always bring you down
Further than you've ever been
The inverse of how I lifted you up way back




Way back when.

Line by Line Meaning

The night is dull till we step in
The atmosphere is boring and uneventful until we make our presence known


But we’re not here to stay
We are only here temporarily to perform


Give us glares give us hate
We don't care about negative attention, it doesn't affect us


But we’ve come here to play
Our purpose is to perform music


Bands have come, bands have gone
Other musical acts have performed here in the past


But you ain’t seen nothing till now
Our performance is going to be unlike any other you've seen before


You shut your doors, cover your ears
You may try to ignore our performance, but it's impossible to escape the loud music


But the music’s way too loud
Our music is overpowering and cannot be ignored


It’s safe to say we’re ready to rock
We are prepared to put on an amazing performance


The night is young and it just won’t stop
Our performance will continue late into the night


So pack up your gear and head for the streets
If you can't handle the noise, it's time to leave


We’ve got the stage so get up on your feet
We are in control of the performance, so join in and enjoy the music


Covet the noise, it's coming fast
Embrace and enjoy the loud music coming your way


Step into the night and make it last
Enjoy this memorable night and make the most of it


Cause it’s time to wake the dead
It's time to energize and excite the audience


The stage is set
The performance area is ready and prepared for our show


The lights are hung
The stage is fully lit and ready for the performance


So grab your sticks
Musicians should grab their drumsticks


Grab an ax, and let that sucker roll
Guitarists should grab their instrument and play their hearts out


Bang your head and shake your bones
The audience should let loose and dance to the loud music


It happens all so fast
The performance will go by quickly


We’ll make you jump
Our high-energy music will make you want to move and dance


We’ll make you scream
Our music is so exciting it will make you yell and shout


We’ll induce a heart attack
Our music is so intense it may feel like it's causing physical harm


The lights are gone
The performance has ended and the stage lights have been turned off


The stage is bare
The performance area is empty and bare without any equipment or musicians


And no one’s here to scream
The audience has left and there is no one left to cheer or applaud


The crowd has cleared
Everyone has left the performance area


But something still remains
Even though the performance is over, the memory and impact still remain


Memories and ringing ears
The memories of the performance and the sound still echo in your mind


In time they all will fade
Over time, the memories of the performance will become less vivid


But now we know we woke you up
Our performance was able to awaken and excite the audience


And that won’t go away
The excitement and energy caused by the performance will remain in your memory


Cause its time to wake the dead
Our music is so powerful it can even awaken the dead

Lyrics
Just drown in the bass
Just a teenage boy with some drugs in his veins
Mask on his face, got a nine on his waist
Somewhere along the line young man went crazy
Rain drops falling, best friends calling
Voicemail full, delete it, I never bother
Love for my father, care for my mother
Still sometimes I feel like I'm fucking going under

I'm dead, I'm Bones
See, black cover my tomb
See, this graveyard's where I call home
So that casket is my room
VHS and it's glitchin'
Cough suppressants I'm sippin'
Got cobwebs on my comforters, I got holes on all of my linens
Pocket watch in my britches, got no time for these bitches
Only got time to be living, but I'm dead so - just forget it, yeah

Bitch, drown
Just drown in the bass
Just drown in the bass
Bitch, drown
Just drown in the bass
Just drown in the bass
Bitch, drown
Bitch, drown in the bass
Let her drown in the bass
Bitch, drown
Let 'em drown in the bass

We riding 'round and we swervin'
When they see the team, they get nervous
We riding 'round and we serving, bitch
We pulling guns for no purpose

SESH, SESH
