Your Funeral
For the Fallen Dreams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sick of you and everyone else around me
Stop doubting all the things I do
Erase everything ya know about me
Stop trying to get inside me
Don't rely on the treatment to your disease
Go away
Dig your grave
I'm sick of the phrase, in all the wrong places
Don't hang around
I need something else to sing about
Sick of the terms and conditions you go on about
You've stepped on my hair
You make me wanna scream out loud
Push away
Pushed you away
Fed up with your shit
Nothing to say
You dug your grave, now lie in it
Your graves been dug, now lie in it
I'm fed up with your shit
These lyrics from For the Fallen Dreams's "Your Funeral" convey a lot of anger and frustration. The singer is sick of the people around them, particularly one person who seems to doubt the singer's decisions and constantly imposes conditions and expectations. The singer feels suffocated and wants this person to leave, even suggesting that they dig their own grave and die. They are also fed up with the same old phrases and want something else to sing about.
The lyrics appear to be an expression of someone who feels misunderstood and misrepresented. They are struggling to assert their own identity and make their own choices, but the people around them are making it difficult by constantly imposing their own expectations and limitations. The metaphor of digging a grave suggests that the singer wants this person to disappear from their life entirely, and that their departure would be a cause for celebration rather than remorse.
Overall, these lyrics convey a sense of anger and desperation, but also a deep yearning for freedom and self-expression. The singer wants to break free from the expectations of others and create their own path in life, but feels held back by those around them.
