Three
Buried Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh boy, just tell me what you're taking
I'll join you
These years have been tough on me too
Oh boy, your life's so perfect and
Oh boy, don't tell me you've earned it
I told you, you'll regret it if you do
And you'll never be the same
They pull my teeth they tear my clothes
And in my sleep I feel them close
Like restless nights in empty homes
So tell me shadow won't you give me one last breath to breathe
I'll try again for you 'cos patience is all I really need
I think I'm out of my time
Like you're proud of my mind
I think you lied to me
I've been sick of your shit since the day that we met
But I'm blinded by you
Now that we've split, and the hole has been fixed
I think I'm getting used to
Being controlled like a part of my soul is being abused
Oh boy, it seems to me you're aching so
Oh boy, just tell me what you're taking
I'll join you
These years have been tough on me too
Oh boy, your life's so perfect and
Oh boy, don't tell me you've earned it
I told you, you'll regret it if you do
And you'll never be the same
Oh boy, first time I was in love I was brainwashed
Had to wash my eyes but I even got the paint off
All these fucking lies made me want to tear my face off
Oh boy, now I'm happy again
The lyrics in Buried's song "Three of a Perfect Pair" revolves around the complexities of a relationship between two people. The first verse acknowledges that both the man and the woman have their own flaws that they bring to the relationship. The man is described as impossible while the woman is susceptible to her cyclothymic moods. Despite their flaws, they still share a "cross" together, which implies some sort of shared struggle or burden.
The second verse repeats the same lines but adds the phrase "one, one too many schizophrenic tendencies" which shows that both the man and the woman could be struggling with mental illness or issues that make it difficult for them to communicate or understand each other. These tendencies make their relationship "complicated" and "aggravating." The chorus highlights this idea of their relationship being a "perfect mess" and that it's a hopeless situation for them.
Overall, the song is a commentary on how even though two people may have a lot in common, their differences and flaws can lead to a tumultuous and unhealthy relationship. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that there may not be a solution to their problems and that their relationship will continue to be a "perfect mess."

The love a mother has for her kids is unexplainable. I believe she does come for her son. May she Rest In Peace someday. ❤️🙏❤️

Yes definitely. I believe so too. Especially if someone has been disrespectful to his remains.

Unexplainable? Study neurology & evolution.

Yeah a mother’s love is unexplainable except when it comes to literally taking your child’s dead body drowning in formaldehyde out of his tomb every day to rock him. How weird dude. She’s real weird.
Meeks Luv
I said I believe it too. Creepy as it is out there.

I done some wild stuff as a teen, but stealing a child's head as a trophy is far from a fun night hanging with friends!! Hopefully the boy can finally rest!🌹
