Bones
Myrne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say that love ain't for two
A single side ain't for life
And it ain't always goodbye on
Strangers left in a forcible way
I said hey, oh, oh, oh
I don't really want to grow old
Hanging in my home
Only days in my head
And the duet's asking, asking no more
But you could always
Come back, come back for more
It was all the good and bad

Hey oh, oh, oh you don't really know, oh, oh
Oh do you let me go, oh, oh
But you're keeping me here
All I am is bones, oh, oh, oh
Oh you can't even touch my ghost
And you don't even know, oh, oh, oh
That I have fireflies under my skin
There are five ways to love
I see all days my souls
I see all days lost souls

In the dark we felt home
Oh, oh go, oh, oh, oh
It glow, oh, oh, oh
I see fireflies under my skin

You say bells unpaid soul
We cover up with white light
It doesn't know how to show, oh
Change is you make in a righteous way
I say hey no, oh, oh
I can't keep you there no more, oh
The taste of your wine
Em-blazes my bones
And I'm always aching, begging for more
But you always come back
Come back for more
I was in the dark, oh, oh, oh

Hey oh, oh, oh you don't really know, oh, oh
Oh do you let me go, oh, oh
But you're keeping me here
All I am is bones, oh, oh, oh
Oh you can't even touch my ghost
And you don't even know, oh, oh, oh
That I have fireflies under my skin
There are five ways to love
I see all days lost souls
Of the love light left behind
In the dark we felt home
Oh, oh go, oh, oh, oh




It glow, oh, oh, oh
I see fireflies under my skin

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Bones" by Myrne are a reflection and exploration of the feeling of being trapped in a relationship that is no longer fulfilling. The opening line, "You say that love ain't for two, a single side ain't for life" suggests a relationship that is unequal, where one partner is not fully committed. The singer then describes the feeling of being stuck in this situation, unable to move forward or let go: "All I am is bones, oh, oh, oh, oh, you can't even touch my ghost and you don't even know, oh, oh, oh, that I have fireflies under my skin."


The chorus is a plea for release, for the other person to let them go, but they remain trapped: "But you're keeping me here, all I am is bones, oh, oh, oh." The bridge further explores the idea of seeking refuge in the darkness: "In the dark we felt home, oh, oh go, oh, oh, oh, it glow, oh, oh, oh, I see fireflies under my skin." Ultimately, the song is a poignant and emotional reflection on a love that has become toxic, and the pain of being unable to move on.
