Funeral
Horses Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm comin' up only to hold you under
And comin' up only to show you're wrong
And to know you is hard, we wonder
To know you all wrong, we won

Ooh
Ooh
Really too late to call, so we wait for
Morning to wake you, is all we got
And to know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong, they warn

At every occasion, I'll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion, once more, it's called the funeral
At every occasion, oh, I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion, oh, one billion day funeral

I'm comin' up only to show you down for
And comin' up only to show you're wrong
To the outside, the dead leaves lay on the lawn
For they don't have trees to hang upon

Ooh
Ooh

At every occasion, I'll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion, once more, it's called the funeral




At every occasion, oh, I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion, oh, one billion day funeral

Overall Meaning

In "Funeral" by Horses, the singer is coming up only to hold the other person under, implying that they have some sort of power or control over them. The singer continues to come up just to prove that the other person is wrong or to show them down. The chorus repeats the phrase "At every occasion, I'll be ready for the funeral" suggesting that the singer is constantly prepared for a death or an ending of some sort, perhaps alluding to the end of the relationship. The final verse describes dead leaves laying on the lawn, implying a sense of decay and death.


The lyrics suggest a sense of conflict and tension between the singer and the other person, with a feeling of impending doom hanging over the relationship. The chorus repeatedly using the word "funeral" adds a haunting and somber tone to the song, as if the singer is consummately prepared for the end of this relationship.


Interestingly, Horses has stated that "Funeral" is about a personal relationship she had with a friend that ended abruptly, leaving her feeling like she had lost a part of herself. The song was also used in a promo for the popular television show "Game of Thrones."

Lyrics

I'm coming up only to hold you under
And coming up only to show you're wrong
And to know you is hard, we wonder
To know you all wrong, we were
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Really too late to call, so we wait for
Morning to wake you is all we got
But to know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong, they were
At every occasion, I'll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion once more, it's called the funeral
At every occasion, oh, I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion of one billion day funeral
I'm coming up only to you show you down for
And coming up only to you show you're wrong
To the outside, the dead leaves lay on the lawn
'Fore they died, and had trees to hang there upon
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
At every occasion, I'll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion once more, it's called the funeral
At every occasion, oh, I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion of one billion day funeral

LYRICS : (English/Français)

I'm coming up only to hold you under
And coming up only to show you're wrong
And to know you is hard, we wonder
To know you all wrong, we were

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Really too late to call, so we wait for
Morning to wake you is all we got
But to know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong, they were

At every occasion, I'll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion once more, it's called the funeral
At every occasion, oh, I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion of one billion day funeral

I'm coming up only to you show you down for
And coming up only to you show you're wrong
To the outside, the dead leaves lay on the lawn
'Fore they died, and had trees to hang there upon

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh


PAROLES FRANÇAIS :

Je viens seulement pour te mettre en terre
Je viens seulement pour te dénigrer
Et pour te connaître c'est dur et on demande
A savoir tout le mal qu'on t'a fait

Ooo Ooo
Ooo Ooo

Vraiment trop tard pour appeler alors on attend le
Matin pour te réveiller, c'est tout ce qu'on a
Pour me connaître un minimum
Il faut savoir tout le mal qu'ils m'ont fait

Et à chaque occasion je serai prêt pour les funérailles
Et chaque occasion, une fois de plus, est appelée les funérailles
A chaque occasion, je suis prêt pour les funérailles
Et à chaque occasion, un superbe jour de funérailles

Je viens seulement pour te montrer l'épreuve que c'est
Je viens seulement pour te montrer l'injustice

À l'extérieur
Les feuilles mortes, elles sont vivantes
Malgré qu'elles n'aient pas d'arbres pour
accrocher leur cœurs...

Ooo Ooo
Ooo Ooo

Love this song! Here's the lyrics if anyone is wondering, like I was:

I'm coming up only to hold you under
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
And to know you is hard, we wonder
To know you all wrong, we warn
Ooh, ooh
Ooh...
Really too late to call, so we wait for
Morning to wake you, it's all we got
To know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong, they warn
At every occasion, I'll be ready for the funeral
Every occasion once more
It's called the funeral
Every occasion, oh, I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion of one-billion day funeral
I'm coming up only to you show you down for
I'm coming up only to you show you wrong
To the outside, the dead leaves lay on the lawn
Before they died, they had trees to hang their hope
Ooh, ooh
Ooh...
At every occasion, I'll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion once more, it's called the funeral
At every occasion, oh, I'm ready for the funeral
Every occasion of one-billion day funeral

My boyfriend had told me one day to play this song at his funeral while we were blasting music in the car as we always did. Never thought that time would come so soon. 20 years young. He passed away unexpectedly a 3 weeks ago. He was in the ICU for 4 days with no brain function. I sat with him all night and played music. Now I am making the video for his funeral and honoring him by putting this song in the video. Its hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember. Life is so fragile. Those moments together are irreplaceable.

@Mokooko7963578

I’m sorry for your loss. Stay strong, wish you the best in life stranger

@Miki129
