Bury Me
Fig Dish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I seem to spin around
Gonna fall off the world any day
Still when you make a sound
Like a spill when you hit the ground
Bury me up to my waist
Carry me back to my...
And I found it in the mess that you made
I walked into the room, ...
And the smile that still broke at your face
You said let's get out of this place
... when you land on your feet
It's cold, I feel old
And you're giving me more than I need
More than I need
I want to be with you
Want to be with you
The first two lines of Fig Dish's song "Bury Me" describe a person who can't seem to settle down and always feels like they're spinning around, as if they're going to fall off the world any day. However, when the person they love makes a sound, it's like a spill when you hit the ground, which is a powerful and captivating moment for the singer. They long to be buried up to their waist while someone carries them back to a place where they feel safe and secure. As far as the singer can tell, this experience feels like cathedral bells ringing, which is a metaphor for a spiritual awakening or a feeling of deep connection to something greater than oneself.
The second verse of the song describes how the singer found this feeling in the mess that their love made. They walked into a room and saw the smile on their love's face, which made them feel safe and happy. Their love suggested they leave the place they were in and start something new together. Even when things get tough and they land on their feet, the singer still feels cold and old, but their love gives them more than they need. They long to be with their love and be carried away to a place where they can feel at home.
The song "Bury Me" is a powerful expression of the desire to find a sense of belonging and safety in a chaotic world. It speaks to the idea that sometimes, the people we love can make us feel grounded and connected even when everything around us is spinning out of control.

Well I can't settle down,
I am unable to find peace and stability in my life
I seem to spin around
I feel disoriented and lost most of the time
Gonna fall off the world any day
I have a sense of impending doom and feel like things could fall apart at any moment
Still when you make a sound
Despite my anxious state, your presence gives me comfort
Like a spill when you hit the ground
Your sound brings me to life and makes me feel energized
Bury me up to my waist
I am ready to be consumed by my love for you
Carry me back to my...
Take me back to a place where I am yours completely
So far as I can tell, feels like cathedral bells
Being with you is a spiritual and transformative experience
And I found it in the mess that you made
I found love in the midst of chaos and uncertainty
I walked into the room, ...
I entered the space and was immediately struck by you
And the smile that still broke at your face
I was drawn to your infectious and genuine smile
You said let's get out of this place
You proposed leaving behind the mundane and venturing out into the world with me
... when you land on your feet
In the face of adversity, you find a way to come out on top
It's cold, I feel old
Things feel bleak and I am overwhelmed by the weight of the world
And you're giving me more than I need
You provide me with a level of emotional support that goes above and beyond
More than I need
I am endlessly grateful for the love and care you show me
I want to be with you
I am certain that I want to spend the rest of my life with you
Want to be with you
I desire nothing more than to be with you in this moment and always
