Bury a Lie
Slaves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been alone too much inside my head
Can I make things up
Can I make things up with you instead
There ain't no reason for me to defend the things you've said
Would you do it all again
Repeat recycled lines
Same old alibi
Six feet ain't deep enough to bury a lie
Don't ask me why I'm not just letting it die
It's coming back to haunt me time after time
No grave is steep enough to sleep through the night
Buried by lies
(Sleep through night
Buried by lies)
Keep hanging on
Keep hanging on
A single thread
We're tangled up
We're tangled up
Inside your web
Who would've known I'd be lonelier with you in my bed
I'm always digging up what's already dead
Six feet ain't deep enough to bury a lie
Don't ask me why I'm not just letting it die
It's coming back to haunt me time after time
No grave is steep enough to sleep through the night
Buried by lies
(Sleep through night
Buried by lies)
You're filling me up with doubt
I toss and I turn
Why I should I burn this down
Six feet ain't deep enough to bury a lie
Don't ask me why I'm not just letting it die
It's coming back to haunt me time after time
No grave is steep enough to sleep through the night
Buried by lies
(Sleep through night
Buried by lies)
The lyrics of Slaves' song "Bury a Lie" tell a story of a person who has been alone too much and is struggling to keep up with the lies they have been caught up in. The verses convey a feeling of uncertainty and confusion, asking questions like, "Can I make things up with you instead?" and "Would you do it all again?" The repetition of the lines "Repeat recycled lines, find a new disguise, same old alibi" suggests that the person is trying to come up with new stories to cover up previous ones they have told.
The chorus of the song is a powerful statement about the lies the person has been telling: "Six feet ain't deep enough to bury a lie." This line suggests that even if the person tries to bury the lie, it will eventually come back to haunt them. The repetition of the phrase "buried by lies" throughout the song emphasizes the weight of the lies and the consequences they bring.
The bridge of the song shifts the focus from the lies to the person the singer is addressing. The lines "You're filling me up with doubt, I toss and I turn, why should I burn this down?" hint that the person may have doubts about the relationship or situation they are in, and that the lies are causing them to question whether they should continue. Ultimately, the lyrics suggest that the person is trapped in a web of lies and uncertainty, unable to move forward or escape the consequences.

A single thread
My connection to this lie is fragile
We're tangled up
I am stuck in this lie with you
Inside your web
You have ensnared me in your deception
Who would've known I'd be lonelier with you in my bed
I thought being with you would make me less lonely, but your lies make me feel more alone than ever
I'm always digging up what's already dead
I can't stop revisiting the lie, even though it's in the past
You're filling me up with doubt
Your lies are making me question everything
I toss and I turn
I'm restless and anxious because of the lie
Why I should I burn this down
Why should I continue to let this deception control my life?

Matt's the perfect piece that Slaves needed. Legitimately don't think anyone else could've filled the position any more perfect than he could.

@Ian Gust Addiction is a bit more difficult than that, lol. But I agree that an addict should not be the lead man of a band. The 80s are a huge showcase as to why.
SBG Records
Always room to love them both!

@Cameron Lott addicts lie.
