Bury Me
Havenfield Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your eyes reveal to me you're tearing at the seams
Hold it together or just let it slip away
Remember summer nights we laid around your house
Hoping your parents wouldn't find us now
You weren't the innocent girl they thought you'd be
Bury me
Forget my name
Forget you were a part of me and
I'm slowly fading now
There's embers burning out
Bury me
I'll always be my enemy
You're digging deeper as the daylight fades
Hoping the demons won't find you at the grave
Cause they've been haunting you for 18 goddamn years
You bury memories of what you lost
You take a shot for all the nights he never called
Now you wonder how you ended up like this
Bury me
Along with all my enemies
Forget my name
Forget you were a part of me and
I'm slowly fading now
There's embers burning out
Bury me
I'll always be my enemy
You'll find me
Six-feet underneath
Below the air you breathe
Cause this is what it has to be
And bury
All these memories
Of what you came to be
And everything you meant to me
Bury me
Along with all my enemies
Forget my name
Forget you were a part of me and
I'm slowly fading now
There's embers burning out
Bury me
I'll always be my enemy
I'll always be my enemy
I'll always be my enemy
The lyrics of "Bury Me" by Havenfield tell the story of two individuals who are struggling with their past and trying to come to terms with themselves. The opening lines "Feel the cool cool breeze rushing through your veins, Your eyes reveal to me you're tearing at the seams" represents the feeling of anxiety and restlessness inside an individual, which is hinted by the presence of tears in their eyes. The following line "Hold it together or just let it slip away" signifies the internal battle that one might have with their emotions, whether to suppress them or let them out.
The next few lines "Remember summer nights we laid around your house, Hoping your parents wouldn't find us now, You weren't the innocent girl they thought you'd be" paint the picture of two people who have shared memories but are forced to keep it a secret from the world. The chorus "Bury me, Along with all my enemies, Forget my name, Forget you were a part of me and I'm slowly fading now, There's embers burning out, Bury me, I'll always be my enemy" indicates the desire to let go of all the painful memories and start afresh.
The second verse "You're digging deeper as the daylight fades, Hoping the demons won't find you at the grave, Cause they've been haunting you for 18 goddamn years" signifies the continued struggles one might have with their past, which may have been haunting them for a very long time. The lines "You bury memories of what you lost, You take a shot for all the nights he never called, Now you wonder how you ended up like this" suggests a person may try to cope with their lost memories and emotions by using alcohol or other means to numb their pain.
The closing lines "You'll find me, Six-feet underneath, Below the air you breathe, Cause this is what it has to be, And bury, All these memories, Of what you came to be, And everything you meant to me" represents the singer's final desire to bury their past and start afresh.
Overall, "Bury Me" is a powerful song that explores the themes of anxiety, self-loathing, and the desire to start anew. It's a reminder of how holding onto our past can keep us stuck, and that sometimes we need to let go of everything to create space for new beginnings.

Feel the cool cool breeze rushing through your veins
Experience the refreshing sensation coursing through your body
Your eyes reveal to me you're tearing at the seams
Your eyes indicate that you're struggling to hold yourself together
Hold it together or just let it slip away
Keep your composure or allow yourself to fall apart
Remember summer nights we laid around your house
Recall the lazy summer evenings we spent lounging at your home
Hoping your parents wouldn't find us now
Wishing that your parents wouldn't discover us at that moment
You weren't the innocent girl they thought you'd be
You didn't live up to their expectations of being an innocent young woman
Bury me
Inter me in the ground
Along with all my enemies
Alongside those who opposed me
Forget my name
Erase my identity
Forget you were a part of me and
Erase any connection you had with me and
I'm slowly fading now
I'm gradually losing my sense of being
There's embers burning out
The remaining sparks are dying out
Bury me
Inter me in the ground
I'll always be my enemy
I'll always be at odds with myself
You're digging deeper as the daylight fades
You're digging deeper into your troubles as the day comes to an end
Hoping the demons won't find you at the grave
Wishing that your problems won't follow you to the afterlife
Cause they've been haunting you for 18 goddamn years
Because your struggles have been tormenting you for a very long time

You bury the recollection of what you've given up
You take a shot for all the nights he never called
You drink a shot for all the times he failed to contact you
Now you wonder how you ended up like this
Now you question how you came to be in this state
Bury me
Inter me in the ground
I'll always be my enemy
I'll always be at odds with myself
You'll find me
You'll discover me
Six-feet underneath
Buried six feet below the surface
Below the air you breathe
Beneath the atmosphere you inhale
Cause this is what it has to be
Because this is the inevitable outcome
And bury
And inter
All these memories
All these recollections
Of what you came to be
Of what you've become
And everything you meant to me
And all that you signified to me
Bury me
Inter me in the ground
I'll always be my enemy
I'll always be at odds with myself
I'll always be my enemy
I'll always be at odds with myself
