Bury Me
Scarlet White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Carry my memories.
Hold on to what I could've been.
When the world meets it's end,
Will we break or bend.
When the world turns to stone. I'll find faith of my own.
Pre. You said, follow me under
Let your soul hunger
let it sink in
Bury me down below
let the dirt consume my bones
When I fight tonight
The darkness will fear the light
Bury me now
This war won't be unknown
I won't go down
And let His name grow cold
Vs. 2:
Bury my memories.
Forget what I could've been.
If my heart gets too cold.
Fight death to the end.
If I give in to my sin. God save my wretched soul.
Pre. You said, follow me under
Let it take over
Let your soul hunger
let it sink in
Bury me down below
let the dirt consume my bones
When I fight tonight
The darkness will fear the light
Bury me now
This war won't be unknown
I won't go down
And let His name grow cold
The opening lines of "Bury Me" by Scarlet White reflect on memories that were not realized and what could have been if they had been fulfilled. The lyrics suggest that when the world is ending, humanity must choose between breaking or bending. The imagery of the world turning to stone and finding faith suggests that reliance on God is the only way for humanity to survive the end of the world. The lyrics of the first verse point to the importance of holding onto hope and faith, even in the face of destruction.
The lyrics of the pre-chorus calls for believers to follow God into the next phase, allowing the glory of his power to consume them. In the chorus, the singer takes on a more literal approach to death, asking to be buried below the earth to become one with the soil. The song encourages listeners to fight against darkness and sin, trusting in God to provide strength to overcome evil.
