Mistakes
Dead and Buried Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd put your name on top
Of my mistakes and regrets
And every line after it
Because every inch of hope
Becomes a world of shame
I've had to walk through
At the top of my lungs
It would never return
And if I screamed, "you were wrong"
All the faith that I've lost
And there is nothing left to say
That has not been said
If I shout, you wouldn't listen
I don't think it'd even sink in
If I could make a list
Of my mistakes and regrets
I'd put your name on top
And every line after it
Becomes a world of shame
Because every inch of hope
I've had to walk through
Each and every day
And there is nothing left to say
If I shout, you wouldn't listen
That has not been said
I don't think it'd even sink in
If you forget how to feel
Reach inside your chest
Is there a heart beating?
Is it just emptiness? (repeat)
The lyrics of Dead and Buried's "Mistakes" express the feeling of regret and resentment towards someone who caused the singer pain. The opening lines confess the desire to put this person's name at the top of a list of mistakes and regrets, suggesting that they are the primary source of the singer's pain. The following lines reveal that the singer has lost hope, and that what little hope remains has become a "world of shame" that must be traversed daily. The phrase "every inch of hope" suggests that the singer once had a lot of hope, but that it has been gradually eaten away.
The chorus shows the singer's frustration and anger towards the person who caused their pain. They want to yell and scream about how wrong this person was, but they know it won't change anything. The repeated line "there is nothing left to say" suggests that the singer has tried to communicate their feelings before, but that it was unsuccessful. The closing lines of the chorus show that the singer has lost faith in this person, and that they feel there is no point in trying to reach them anymore.
The final verse switches to a more introspective tone as the singer questions whether the person who caused their pain has any emotions left. The repeated lines "if you forget how to feel, reach inside your chest" suggest that the singer wants this person to introspect and reflect on their own emotions. The question "is there a heart beating?" implies that the singer isn't sure if this person is capable of empathy anymore, or if they have become completely numb.
