Bury Me
Halo Benders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What we're after isn't (knows our sound)
In the way
What we live
(In the ') of years (you can do better)
From what I thought
Would take a million more (all the dude was found ')
Must've added wrong
Who wrote the law 'cause we're one reality (I'm already underground)
Had.........invisible......prove they're home (bury me)
The...building box that.we live in with no air (bury me)
The midnight markers every phone (turning locusts to atlantis)
They live... The hits that he should've been (flood the streets/lick your canvas)
The clocks that were quirks' stand so sure (show the world this ain't no one horse town)
When the...takes the bill the rebels not in
It's a holiday, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah (bury me, I'm already underground)
Please, please, someone anyone who knows what going on here tell me!
The lyrics to Halo Benders's song Bury Me seem to have a stream-of-consciousness quality to them, with disconnected phrases and thoughts that may or may not be related. However, upon closer inspection, there are some recurring themes and ideas that emerge.
One idea that comes up repeatedly is the concept of being buried or underground. The title itself refers to this, and there are multiple references throughout the song, such as "bury me," "already underground," and "building box that we live in with no air." This could be interpreted in various ways, such as a desire for privacy or escape, or a commentary on feeling stifled or trapped.
Another theme that arises is a sense of disillusionment or frustration with society and its institutions. This is suggested by lines such as "who wrote the law 'cause we're one reality" and "the hits that he should've been" (potentially a criticism of the music industry). There is a sense of questioning or critiquing the status quo.
The lyrics also contain a sort of fractured language or wordplay that can be difficult to parse. For example, "turning locusts to atlantis" or "flood the streets/lick your canvas" have an almost dreamlike quality to them, and it's unclear what exactly they refer to. Overall, the lyrics suggest a desire for something different or more meaningful, but also a sense of uncertainty and confusion about what that might look like.
