Bones
Moriaty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bless me, bless me, bless me
For my name is Candide
She took, she took, she took
She took the love from me

I'll crawl a thousand miles so I can be with you
Broken bones and xylophones won't stop me reaching you
Thank God, thank God, thank God
For those fools who believe
She blushed, she blushed, she blushed
So did he

I'll crawl a thousand miles so I can be with you
Broken bones and xylophones won't stop me reaching you




I'll crawl a thousand miles so I can be with you
Broken bones and xylophones won't stop me reaching you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Moriarty's song, "Bones," seem to tell the story of someone desperate to be with the one they love. The singer describes their name as "Candide," which means optimistic or hopeful, and asks for blessings before expressing the pain they feel from having their love taken away. Despite this, they declare that they will crawl a thousand miles to be with their love, even if it means enduring broken bones and xylophones (which could symbolize obstacles or challenges).


The second half of the song seems to be directed towards a higher power, as the singer gives thanks to "those fools who believe" and mentions blushing. This could be interpreted as the singer's gratitude towards those who believe in love and have experienced it themselves, or perhaps towards a deity (as blushing cheeks could represent a sign of approval or divinity).


Overall, the lyrics to "Bones" paint a picture of a person determined to overcome any obstacles to be with their love, even if it means facing physical pain or relying on divine help. The song's title, "Bones," could also be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer's perseverance and willpower, which are often associated with the human skeletal system.
