Bones
In This Moment Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been waiting on my grave
Waiting for you to rescue me my love
Come back from the dead
You have a better heart
And a perfect scar
I said love
All the hurt I need
There's just something about you
Appease the addict in me
I promised you that I'd hurt you

You are my God
You are my soul
You're my savior
In a devil's robe
And I can't exist without you
I can't exist without you

You are my drug
My miracle
You are my cure
In this infected world
And I can't do this without you
I'm dying here without you

I wanna lie with your bones forever

Smear my lipstick across my face
Wipe off all these lies for me my love
Don't know what you see
Kiss my wrists
You're killing me
You're my pill
You're everything I need

I'm running circles around you
Your skin is under my knees
I don't belong here without you

You are my God
You are my soul
You're my savior
In a devil's robe
And I can't exist without you
I can't exist without you
You are my drug
My miracle
You are my cure
In this infected world
And I can't do this without you
I'm dying here without you

I wanna lie with your bones forever

You are my star
I'm in your veins
You're all I have
I serenade your name
Now you can't exist without me
(You are my God)

You are my God
You are my soul
You're my savior
In a devil's robe
And I can't exist without you
I can't exist without you

You are my drug
My miracle
You are my cure
In this infected world
And I can't do this without you
I'm dying here without you

And I can't exist without you
I can't exist without you
And I can't do this without you
I'm dying here without you





I wanna lie with your bones forever

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of In This Moment's song Bones depict a relationship that is toxic and codependent. The singer is waiting for their lover to rescue them from their pain but also acknowledges that they have promised to hurt them. The lover is their God, soul, and savior, but also their drug and miracle. They can't exist without each other as they are dying without them. The singer wants to lie with their lover's bones forever, which can be interpreted as a desire for eternal connection even after death. The lines "you're killing me, you're my pill, you're everything I need" reinforces the idea that the singer's love is both destructive and healing simultaneously.


Overall, the song Bones is a haunting portrayal of a toxic relationship where both individuals rely on each other to survive, even if it means destroying each other in the process. Through the use of religious imagery and death-related themes, In This Moment creates a melancholic yet captivating musical narrative of a love that is simultaneously beautiful and dangerous.

You're all I have
You are the only thing I possess in this world


I serenade your name
I serenade your name, singing songs and whispering sweet nothings


Now you can't exist without me
Now you rely on me as much as I rely on you
