Before The Silence
Bury Tomorrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll always be mine, save a prayer for us
Can you see it coming, can you hold me down
I've seen this dream before, It's coming
My hearts under these seas that infiltrate me
You, my love, I'd drown just to get you home
These cities swim in oceans, peoples lives are torn in two
There's nothing left to hold to, watch as their lives wash away
My heart is broken and my bodies bleeding
But I'll still find you my love, but I'll still find you my love
Find me now, my hearts still beating
The song Before The Silence by Bury Tomorrow is a powerful expression of love and the desire to hold on to it even in the face of adversity. The first verse speaks of the importance of the person being addressed in the song, as they are the only one who can save the singer from their troubles. The repeated refrain of "you'll always be mine" emphasizes the strength of the connection between the two people, and the plea to "save a prayer for us" suggests a reliance on something greater than themselves to keep their love alive.
The second verse is more ominous, with the singer recognizing a recurring nightmare and the impending danger that awaits. The imagery of the heart being submerged and the willingness to drown for the sake of love highlights the intensity of the emotions being portrayed. The following lines describe a world in chaos, with cities and lives being destroyed, but there is still a sense of hope in the promise to continue searching for their loved one.
Overall, the song captures the raw passion and determination that can come with a deep connection to someone else. Even amidst turmoil and uncertainty, the love between two people can be a guiding force that inspires them to keep going.

Save me tonight, you'll always be my only
Asking for help tonight, the only one who can save me is you
You'll always be mine, save a prayer for us
You'll always belong to me, pray for us
Can you see it coming, can you hold me down
Can you sense the inevitable, can you keep me grounded
I've seen this dream before, It's coming
I have had this vision before, it's going to happen
My hearts under these seas that infiltrate me
My heart is submerged in these emotions that overwhelm me
You, my love, I'd drown just to get you home
I would sacrifice anything to bring you back to our safe place
These cities swim in oceans, peoples lives are torn in two
Disaster strikes, lives are lost and cities are destroyed
There's nothing left to hold to, watch as their lives wash away
Everything is lost, their lives slip away before our eyes
My heart is broken and my bodies bleeding
My heart is shattered and my body is in pain
But I'll still find you my love, but I'll still find you my love
Despite the odds, I will always search for you my love
Find me now, my hearts still beating
I am still alive, come and find me now

Does it really matter what fucking genre it's classed as? Just fucking listen to it and base your opinion on the music itself not what it comes under as a genre. Fucking metal hipsters.
