Funeral Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I came for help
Against my fears
What harm did I ever do to you
I asked for your help
You helped yourself
What harm did I ever do to you

Now I suffer from tardive dyskinesia

All my demons are gone but one
When I look in the mirror I feel ashamed
Moderate suffering replaced with pain
When I go out the children they laugh at me
Here comes the man who drowned in insanity
They assisted the demons that brought me down
Now I look and feel like a clown

So strap me into this chair
Electrocute my head
Then firmly force me down
Lobotomize my mind
Give me pills to make me well
Your reconstruction of Hell

My thoughts no longer a threat
Until the day of my death

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Funeral's song "Saturn" tackle the theme of betrayal and the devastating consequences that can result from seeking help from those who exploit your vulnerability instead of offering genuine assistance. In the opening lines, the singer expresses their trust in someone, seeking help to overcome their fears, but instead, they are met with a lack of empathy and indifference, causing damage to their mental health. The lyrics capture the feeling of being let down by someone, leading to a sense of hopelessness and despair. The use of the metaphor of Saturn, the planet associated with restriction and limitations, reflects the singer's emotional state, as though they're trapped in an oppressive cycle of suffering that they can't escape from.

The second verse expands on the consequences of this betrayal, as the singer reveals they have developed tardive dyskinesia as a result of their suffering. Their recovery is incomplete, and they are left with a single demon that haunts them. The mirror reflection, usually an image of oneself, now symbolizes feelings of shame, while the mild suffering from before has been replaced with something much more severe. Their external appearance has also suffered, with children treating them with disdain and ridicule. The singer is left to grapple with the pain and trauma caused by this betrayal, further magnified by society's general lack of understanding and support for mental health issues.

I came for help
I sought assistance

Against my fears
To overcome my anxiety

What harm did I ever do to you
I did not cause any harm to you

I asked for your help
I requested your aid

You helped yourself
You acted in your own self-interest

What harm did I ever do to you
I did not cause any harm to you

Now I suffer from tardive dyskinesia
I experience involuntary movements due to medication

All my demons are gone but one
I have resolved most of my personal issues, but not all

When I look in the mirror I feel ashamed
I experience guilt and embarrassment when I see myself

Moderate suffering replaced with pain
My previous moderate discomfort is now intense agony

When I go out the children they laugh at me
Youngsters mock me when I am in public
