Buried Alive
Evans Blue - Topic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I can't escape this
Feeling inside burns me up
I can't erase it
Have I gone mad on my own
Why can't I face this
Hurry up, I'm lost without
Some kind of placement
Something real in my life

So change it
And make me forget

Save me, I'm buried alive this time
Bending, and breaking all I have left inside
Blaming everyone for nothing
I'm hating me for what I've done with my life

It's time to wake up
This time it's all in my head
It's what I'm made of
It's not what you say I am
I have this anxious feeling
Running through these veins inside of me
I can't explain it
I'm running out of patience

So change it
And make me forget

Save me, I'm buried alive this time
Bending, and breaking all I have left inside




Blaming everyone for nothing
I'm hating me for what I've done with my life (x2)

The opening lines express a sense of being consumed by intense emotions that cannot be ignored or erased, leading to a feeling of madness and a struggle to find purpose and meaning in life. The singer is pleading for some kind of clarity or direction amidst the chaos they are experiencing, feeling adrift without a sense of grounding or stability.

They feel as if they are being swallowed up by their own emotions, bending and breaking under the weight of their own perceived failures and shortcomings. The repetition of blaming oneself and feeling a deep sense of regret for past actions highlights the internal conflict and self-destructive tendencies the singer is wrestling with.


The lyrics then shift to a realization that it is time to confront and take responsibility for one's own thoughts and actions. The acknowledgement that the struggles are internal and not solely caused by external factors underscores the theme of personal accountability and the need to break free from self-defeating patterns. The singer recognizes the need to wake up from their self-imposed mental imprisonment and confront the reality of their situation, regardless of the pain and discomfort it may bring.


The plea for change and a desire to forget the pain and regrets expressed throughout the song speaks to a longing for redemption and a fresh start. The repeated cries for someone to save them from being buried alive symbolize a yearning for liberation from the overwhelming weight of their own emotions and self-doubt. Ultimately, "Buried Alive" is a raw and introspective reflection on struggling with inner demons, seeking redemption, and striving for self-acceptance and transformation.
