Bury Me
Pete Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A day, a day in chains
This rage, this rage will stay
Hear me now, hear me now
Hear the words that sustain
Feel the waves that will pain
Bury me in the darkness
Bury me it's all right
Bury me in the truth of this tonight

This rain, this rain will wash my soul away
Wash away the sins that I feel down deep within
Hear me now, hear me now
Hear the words that sustain
Feel the waves that will pain
Bury me in the darkness
Bury me it's all right
Bury me in the truth of this tonight
Down, down, down you want to suffer
Down, down, down things will never change
Down, down, down you want to suffer
Down, down, down things will never change
Loosen the rope now don't let it go
Loosen the rope now but don't let it go
Loosen the rope now don't let it go
Loosen the rope now but don't let it go
Loosen the rope now don't let it go
Loosen the rope now but don't let it go
Loosen the rope now don't let it go
Loosen the rope now
Bury me in the darkness
Bury me it's all right
Bury me in the truth of this
Bury me in the darkness
Bury me it's all right
Bury me in the truth of this tonight
Down, down, down you want to suffer
Down, down, down things will never change

Down, down, down you want to suffer
Down, down, down things will never change

But even as they seek this release, they acknowledge that "things will never change." The repetition of "down, down, down you want to suffer" reinforces the sense of hopelessness that permeates the song.

Line by Line Meaning

A day, a day in chains
Being trapped in a difficult situation for an extended period of time

This rage, this rage will stay
The intense anger and frustration being felt will not dissipate

Hear me now, hear me now
Listen to me and pay attention to what I'm saying

Hear the words that sustain
Listen to the words that give me strength and support

Feel the waves that will pain
Experience the emotional pain and distress like waves in the ocean

Bury me in the darkness
Entomb me in a place devoid of light and hope

Bury me it's all right
It's okay to inter me in this way because it's what I want

Bury me in the truth of this tonight
Lay me to rest in the stark reality of the situation at hand

This rain, this rain will wash my soul away
The metaphorical downpour of rain will cleanse my soul

Wash away the sins that I feel down deep within
Purge me of the guilt and regret that weighs heavily on me

Down, down, down you want to suffer
You desire to wallow in your misery and anguish

Down, down, down things will never change
Things will continue to be bleak and unchanging

Loosen the rope now don't let it go
Ease up on the figurative noose that is strangling me

Bury me in the truth of this
Put me to rest in the unvarnished reality of the situation
