Versimilitude
Matriarchs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ohhhh yeah

My head is breaking
It’s killing me inside
This Complete insanity
As i feel these veins are burning
Try harder
Try again
The outcome that I wanted
My heart can feel it pounding
Inside of me
Me
Me
Me

Now I can see it clearer
Now I can see it as if it were through my own eyes
I am in this prison dying in the cell
I’m begging with my head to try

I’m hanging out my head to dry
I’m burning inside of this prison I
I’m preparing myself for what could be the end
I’m digging my grave deeper
While I wear this grin

I wish that every person punish me with sin
This empty coffin
This is where I meet my end

Bury me here
Take me out
Out

Man I think I swear I’m fucking breaking down again
Down again
And when I start digging up the past
I feel my chest cave in
Caving in

I’ve said it all
I’ve said it all
I’ve said it all
I’ve said it all
Too many times inside my mind it replays out
And I don’t know how it just says inside my head
Inside my head
Oh

I lost everything
It was buried deep inside of me
So I gave every piece of it back
And I bled it out in front of me

Man I think I swear I’m fucking breaking down again
Down again

And when I start digging up the past
I feel my chest cave in
Caving in

I’m hanging out my head to dry
I’m burning of this prison I

Breaking down
It’s taking over and I’m
Breaking down
But now I think I’m ready
But now I think I’m ready

They’re fucking trapping me inside of this room
That you fucking convinced me that I could break into
Now I see that every single word that you say
Is burning me




It’s pushing me up at the seems
Bury me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Matriarchs' song "Versimilitude" delve into themes of internal struggle, imprisonment, and self-destruction. The song begins with a sense of overwhelming pain and torment, as the singer feels their head breaking and their veins burning. They express a desire to try harder and achieve a desired outcome, feeling their heart pounding within them. The repetition of the word "me" emphasizes their individual experience and suffering.


As the song progresses, the singer gains some clarity and sees their situation more clearly, as though seeing it through their own eyes. They describe themselves as being trapped in a prison and pleading for release. The lines "hanging out my head to dry" and "burning inside of this prison" suggest a feeling of being exposed and consumed by their inner turmoil. The singer also mentions digging their own grave deeper, possibly metaphorically referring to their self-destructive tendencies while maintaining a grim, resigned smile.


The next section of the song expresses a desire to be punished and meet their end in an empty coffin. This intense self-loathing and willingness to face consequences reveal a deep sense of guilt and turmoil within the singer. They wish to be buried and take themselves out of the situation, possibly in an attempt to escape the pain they are experiencing.


In the final part of the song, the singer confesses that they are on the verge of breaking down once again. They mention how revisiting the past causes their chest to cave in, indicating the weight of unresolved emotions and regrets. The repetition of the phrase "I've said it all" suggests a feeling of exhaustion from repeatedly expressing their inner turmoil, yet it continues to resurface in their mind. The singer reveals their struggle with losing everything and returning it back, bleeding it out in front of them, possibly as a form of catharsis or self-punishment.


The song concludes with the singer feeling trapped and manipulated by someone else's words, suggesting that they have been led astray or deceived. They express how these words burn and push them to their limits, causing them to feel on the brink of unraveling. The final line, "Bury me," can be interpreted as a plea for release or an acceptance of their impending demise.


Overall, "Versimilitude" offers a glimpse into the inner turmoil and self-destruction experienced by the singer.
