St. Mary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you feel the cold, it’s coming slow
you’re the one who brought it here
turn your cheek and whisper i don’t know
i don’t think nobody cares
i don’t think you even care
I’ll play your bloody game
give me a martyrs name
sleep in your lion's mane
courage is in the pain
your presence is blinding
your body is finding me
in the ground I feel you bury me
in the ground i feel
VERSE 2
Will the sun now melt the snow
will the clouds ever disappear
or will you call and then hurricane
capture me in the chains
here down below
so let’s just call it like it is
PRE / HOOK
i’ll play your bloody game
give me a martyrs name
sleep in your lion's mane
courage is in the pain
your presence is blinding
your body is finding me
in the ground I feel you bury me
in the ground i feel you bury, so bury me
In "Bury" by St. Mary, the lyrics explore themes of feeling cold and isolated, both physically and emotionally. The singer addresses someone who they believe brought this coldness into their life, but the person seems indifferent, saying they don't know and nobody cares. The singer plays along with their game, asking for a martyr's name, willing to endure the pain and sleep in their lion's mane. The presence of this person is overwhelming, blinding the singer, and it feels like they are being buried in the ground.
The first verse sets the tone for the song, describing the coldness and attributing it to the actions of someone specific. The lyrics suggest that this person does not care about the singer's feelings, adding to the feelings of isolation. The pre-chorus and hook express a willingness to play along with this person's game, taking on a martyr's name and finding courage in the pain. The presence of this person is overpowering and suffocating, burying the singer emotionally and physically in the ground.
In the second verse, the singer questions whether the sun will bring warmth and melt the snow, or if the clouds will ever disappear, but ultimately anticipates that this person will call and bring a hurricane that captures them in chains, trapping them below. The singer resigns to accepting the reality and calls it like it is, acknowledging the situation for what it is.
Overall, "Bury" by St. Mary explores themes of emotional coldness, isolation, and the overwhelming power that someone's presence can have over another. It portrays a sense of resignation and acceptance of the situation, while also expressing the desire to find courage and endure the pain.

Is there hope for the gloom and uncertainty to fade away
or will you call and then hurricane
Or will you suddenly unleash chaos and destruction with a single command
capture me in the chains here down below
Confine and imprison me in a state of emotional subjugation
so let’s just call it like it is
Let's acknowledge and accept the harsh reality
in the ground I feel you bury me
I strongly sense that you are forcibly burying me
in the ground i feel you bury, so bury me
I feel your oppressive actions, so continue to bury me
