Dash Berlin feat. Band Of Horses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
And to know you is hard, we wonder
To know you, all wrong we were
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
We wait for
Morning to wake you, that's all we got
To know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong, they were
At every occasion, I'll be ready for the funeral
Every occasion, once more, it's called the funeral
Every occasion, know I'm ready for the funeral
Every occasion, oh, one billion-day funeral
I'm coming up only to show you down, for
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
To the outside the dead leaves, they're on the lawn
Before they died, had trees to hang their hope
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
At every occasion, I'll be ready for the funeral
Every occasion, once more, it's called the funeral
Every occasion, know I'm ready for the funeral
Every occasion, oh, one billion-day funeral
The lyrics to Dash Berlin vs. Band Of Horses' song The Funeral are a mix of dark imagery and emotional expressions. The first verse talks about the singer coming up only to hold someone under, to show them wrong. He then expresses the difficulty in knowing the person and alludes to the fact that they were wrong about them. The chorus talks about being ready for the funeral at every occasion, implying that the person being sung about is continuously in a state of dying or being mourned. The second verse talks about the dead leaves on the lawn and how they used to have trees to hang their hope on.
The song seems to be about a relationship that has gone wrong. The singer seems to be coming up to the person to show them how wrong they were about them. The funeral that is being referred to in the chorus could be a metaphor for the death of the relationship or the death of the person's trust in the other. The dead leaves on the lawn also imply that something has died, perhaps the hope that the relationship could be saved.
Overall, the song expresses the emotions of despair, hopelessness, and the struggle to understand someone you thought you knew.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm coming up only to hold you under
I am approaching to see how you're coping with life
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
I am approaching to highlight your mistakes
And to know you is hard, we wonder
We find it hard to understand who you truly are
To know you, all wrong we were
The way we thought we knew you was incorrect
Really too late to call, so
It's too late to contact you right now
We wait for morning to wake you, that's all we got
The only choice we have is to wait for morning to reach out to you
To know me as hardly golden
If you think I am perfect, you are mistaken
Is to know me all wrong, they were
The way you thought you knew me was incorrect too
At every occasion, I'll be ready for the funeral
I am always prepared for bad news
Every occasion, once more, it's called the funeral
I am no stranger to tragedy
Every occasion, know I'm ready for the funeral
I am mentally prepared to face tough times
Every occasion, oh, one billion-day funeral
I am ready to deal with prolonged periods of misery
I'm coming up only to show you down, for
I am approaching to prove you wrong or to bring you down
To the outside the dead leaves, they're on the lawn
People passing by observe leaves fallen on the grass
Before they died, had trees to hang their hope
Those leaves were once the hope of the trees they belonged to
