The Suits the Law & the Uniforms
Graveyard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Standing at the base of the pyramid
But it’s never gonna meet the end.
You’re not supposed to know that it exists,
When nothing set us, nothing do deny.

If you leave your place in the fond days
To see the castles made of sand.
Watch it fall into the sea or either way
And you don’t see how you’re feeling okay.

Your suits, the law, the uniforms,
They agree on the same patrons.

Time is what you got,
So do you know who you’re standing on
When they say it’s cheap, that’s how hard it goes
And cause the swipe of the game it suppose.

Your suits, the law, the uniforms,
They agree on the same patrons.
You know that life was made for so much more than this
More you wait, the more lose life control.

Oh, I don’t want your job,
No, I won’t live your life,
No, I won’t live your life.
So I won’t live for you
No, I ain’t got a boat,
No, I ain’t got a boat.

I see yourselves tonight, I’ll understand
What it is that makes a man.
When I hear them say that the lots you own
I hear insistence to broke your mouths.

If we can make it through the uny,
The world’ll become a jungle in doubt.
It’s the suits, the law, the uniforms bringing grieve on the sand patrol.
You know that life was made for someone more than this,
More than wait is profit and control.

Oh, I don’t want your job,
No, I won’t live your life,
No, I won’t live your life.
So I won’t live for you
No, I ain’t got a boat,
No, I ain’t got a boat.

It’s the suits, the law, the uniforms bringing grieve on the sand patrol.
You know that life was made for someone more than this,
More than wait is profit and control.

It’s the suits, the law, the uniforms bringing grieve on the sand patrol.




You know that life was made for someone more than this,
More than wait is profit and control.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Graveyard's song The Suits speak to issues of power and control in society. The first verse uses the metaphor of a pyramid to represent the power structure, highlighting the fact that it's always there even if we can't see it. The second verse speaks to the idea of leaving one's comfort zone to explore the world and potentially losing control, which can be both scary and exhilarating.


The chorus speaks directly to the idea of conformity and how the suits, the law, and the uniforms all serve the same patrons. This suggests that the structures in place are meant to keep certain people in power, regardless of the consequences for others. The line "more than wait is profit and control" further drives home this point, indicating that those in power are only interested in maintaining that power and accumulating wealth.


The final verse uses the metaphor of a jungle to represent the chaos that can result from this power struggle. The line "it's the suits, the law, the uniforms bringing grief on the sand patrol" suggests that innocent people are caught in the middle of this struggle, suffering the consequences of those in power. Ultimately, the song is a call to resist conformity and to instead seek something more meaningful in life that is not dictated by those in power.


Line by Line Meaning

Standing at the base of the pyramid
Starting from the bottom in a hierarchical system


But it’s never gonna meet the end.
There is no true end in sight in this system


You’re not supposed to know that it exists,
The system is meant to be invisible and unrecognized


When nothing set us, nothing do deny.
There is no clear definition or explanation for the system


If you leave your place in the fond days
If you step outside the norm


To see the castles made of sand.
To pursue your dreams and aspirations


Watch it fall into the sea or either way
Your dreams may not come to fruition due to external factors


And you don’t see how you’re feeling okay.
You may not even realize the impact of external factors on your well-being


Your suits, the law, the uniforms,
Symbols of the system


They agree on the same patrons.
The system serves the same group of people


Time is what you got,
Time is a precious resource


So do you know who you’re standing on
Do you understand the people and systems that support you?


When they say it’s cheap, that’s how hard it goes
When they devalue your work, it is even harder to succeed


And cause the swipe of the game it suppose.
The arbitrary and unfair nature of the system


You know that life was made for so much more than this
Life should be more fulfilling and meaningful


More you wait, the more lose life control.
The longer you exist in the system, the more it controls you


Oh, I don’t want your job,
Rejecting traditional, unfulfilling jobs


No, I won’t live your life,
Choosing to live life on one's own terms


So I won’t live for you
Rejecting societal pressures to conform


No, I ain’t got a boat,
Not having the material possessions society deems necessary for success


I see yourselves tonight, I’ll understand
Understanding the essence of people and the system under the surface


What it is that makes a man.
What truly defines a person


When I hear them say that the lots you own
When they equate success with material possessions


I hear insistence to broke your mouths.
To silence those who do not conform to societal norms


If we can make it through the uny,
If we can survive and endure the system


The world’ll become a jungle in doubt.
The world will be uncertain


It’s the suits, the law, the uniforms bringing grieve on the sand patrol.
The system causes suffering and injustice


You know that life was made for someone more than this,
Life should be about more than just existing in the system


More than wait is profit and control.
Success should not be measured purely by profit or control in the system
