Rest in Peace
Buffy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So many years ago
You can make me feel
Like it isn't so
Why you come to be with me
I think I finally know
Mmm-hmmm
You're scared
Ashamed of what you feel
And you can't tell the ones you love
You know they couldn't deal
A whisper in a dead man's ear
It doesn't make it real
That's great
But I don't wanna play
'Cause being with you touches me
More than I can say
And since I'm only dead to you
I'm saying stay away
And let me rest in peace
Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
So let me rest in peace
You know you got a willing slave
And you just love to play the thought
That you might misbehave
But 'til you do
I'm telling you
Stop visiting my grave
And let me rest in peace
I know I should go
But I follow you
Like a man posessed
There's a traitor here
Beneath my breast
And it hurts me more
Than you've ever guessed
If my heart could beat
It would break my chest
But I can see
You're unimpressed
So leave me be!
And let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
Let me rest in peace
Why won't you
Let me rest in peace?
The song "Rest in Peace" is a hauntingly beautiful piece from the musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The song is performed by James Marsters, who plays Spike, a vampire in love with Buffy. The song reflects Spike's pain as a vampire, who is unable to move on from his love for Buffy, who is still alive.
The first verse of the song shows us Spike's frustration at being unable to move on from his love for Buffy. He speaks about his death and how old it is, but Buffy's presence makes him feel alive. He then ponders why Buffy comes to see him and finally comes to the realization that Buffy is scared and ashamed of what she feels.
The second verse sees Spike asking Buffy to stay away from him because being with her "touches" him more than he can bear. He feels that he can't find peace and rest because of his love for her. He asks her to let him rest in peace and bury his love in a hole six feet deep where he can finally be at rest. The final verse sees Spike's desperation as he realizes that he is following Buffy like a man possessed, and his love for her hurts him deeply. He begs her to let him rest in peace.
Overall, "Rest in Peace" is a deeply emotional song that portrays the pain and frustration of unrequited love. The lyrics are beautifully written and the haunting melody perfectly matches the desperation and anguish of Spike's feelings.
Line by Line Meaning
I died
I have passed away and am no longer alive
So many years ago
It has been a long time since I died
You can make me feel
You have the power to affect my emotions
Like it isn't so
To make me feel as though I am not really dead
Why you come to be with me
I have been wondering why you continue to visit me
I think I finally know
I believe I have figured out the reason
Mmm-hmmm
An expression of agreement or acknowledgement
You're scared
You are frightened
Ashamed of what you feel
You are embarrassed about your emotions
And you can't tell the ones you love
You are unable to express your feelings to those closest to you
You know they couldn't deal
You believe they would not be able to handle it
A whisper in a dead man's ear
Anything said to me is insignificant as I am deceased
It doesn't make it real
Even if you say or do something, it does not change the fact that I am dead
That's great
I understand the situation
But I don't wanna play
I am not interested in participating
'Cause being with you touches me
Your presence affects me emotionally
More than I can say
I cannot express the extent to which you affect me
And since I'm only dead to you
I may be dead, but I am only dead to you and not to myself
I'm saying stay away
It would be best for you to not visit me
And let me rest in peace
Please allow me to find peace and solitude in death
Let me get some sleep
Let me find rest and relaxation
Let me take my love and bury it
I want to hide my love and emotions
In a hole six foot deep
To bury it far away and never have to feel it again
I can lay my body down
I can rest my physical form
But I can't find my sweet release
But I cannot find the peace I desperately seek
You know you got a willing slave
You know that I am willing to do whatever you ask of me
And you just love to play the thought
You enjoy the idea of having control over me
That you might misbehave
You enjoy the thought of acting rebelliously or against the norm
But 'til you do
Until you actually act on those thoughts
I'm telling you
I am warning you
Stop visiting my grave
Please stop coming to visit me
I know I should go
I am aware that I should move on
But I follow you
But I cannot help but follow you
Like a man posessed
As if I am controlled or obsessed
There's a traitor here
I sense that there is a deceitful person or thing present
Beneath my breast
Within my chest or heart
And it hurts me more
It causes me more pain and discomfort
Than you've ever guessed
More than you can imagine
If my heart could beat
If I were still alive and capable of feeling emotion
It would break my chest
It would cause me intense pain and sadness
But I can see
I am aware
You're unimpressed
You are not affected or moved by my feelings
So leave me be!
Please, just leave me alone
Why won't you
I am confused as to why you
Let me rest in peace?
Will not allow me to find peace and rest in death?
