Bury Tomorrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whys it so hard (to love tonight)
(Why is there only one side to your eyes) And Ill take your heart and ill rip it rip it from your chest.
And Ill say the words I wished I could
From the darkness, I am light and I wont forget the pain I felt ..these roots are buried so fucking deep into the ground seems like ive spent a life time ...trying to cut you down.
Ill see for the blind and Ill hear for the deaf
(These chains are rapped around our lives far to tight)
Ill see for the blind and Ill hear for the deaf
(Why is there only one side in your eyes)
Those roots were buried and now Ive dug them out
And in an actr of suicide ..she swallows her pride
(Why is there only one side in your eyes)
Ill see for the blind and Ill hear for the deaf
(These chains are rapped around our lives far to tight)
Ill see for the blind and Ill hear for the deaf
(Why is there only one side in your eyes)
Ill see for the blind and Ill hear for the deaf and Ill take back every word you ever fucking said.
Babe .Im taking you for granted ..Im taking you .Im taking you for granted one last time she said.
(She said,) she said stay away ...(She said stay)
The lyrics to Bury Tomorrow's song Casting Shapes seem to describe an intense and painful relationship that has come to a breaking point. The singer is holding the heart of their lover, but it is difficult to love tonight. They observe that their lover's eyes only show one side, implying that they are hiding something. The singer's frustration and hurt leads them to rip out their lover's heart and say the words they've been holding back. They feel like their roots are deeply buried in the ground, symbolizing a long history of trying to overcome this lover's hold on them.
The second verse of the song adds another layer to the story. The singer seems to have found a way out of this difficult relationship and has dug out the roots that held them down. However, their lover is still trying to hold on tightly, represented by the chains that are wrapped around their lives. In the end, the singer decides to take back every word that was ever said between them and it seems like their relationship is coming to an end. The last line of the song is spoken by the lover, telling the singer to stay away.
Overall, the lyrics to Casting Shapes portray a tumultuous and ultimately doomed relationship between two people. The imagery of roots and chains emphasizes the weight and difficulty of breaking free from a toxic dynamic. It seems like the singer has finally come to a place of acceptance and perhaps even closure, but the scars of the relationship will stay with them for a long time.
