The Tomb
Boy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In this ruin
i've been resting
for 3000 years

in my tomb

Gold and diamonds
line the sides of
My sarcophagus

If you come and stir my slumber
That's a big mistake
For you'll end up trapped inside
A room of deadly snakes

So explorers
Heed my warning
You should stay away
From my tomb





From my tomb
My tomb

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Boy's song The Tomb seem to reflect the inner struggles of a person who is trying to find their place in the world while simultaneously trying not to lose themselves in the process. The opening lines suggest that the person is so caught up in creating memories that they have lost sight of their own identity. This sentiment continues throughout the song as the person explores the cracks in pavements, holes in jeans, and other mundane aspects of life.


The most intriguing portion of the lyrics comes towards the end, where the person seems to be stuck in a metaphorical tomb. They are alone in their room, sweeping up bones with a garden broom, and dancing inside of the loser's tomb. The repeated line "losers in the tomb, sitting in your room" takes on a haunting quality as it implies that the person is trapped in their own thoughts and struggling to escape.


Overall, the lyrics to The Tomb are layered and complex, offering a glimpse into the mind of someone who is trying to navigate the chaos of life and find a sense of purpose.
