Bones
Syd Matters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Danny found these vile creatures
In the deep place of the room
They said we don't have any features
We haven't even got bones
Danny turned them into dishes
It didn't take too long
They didn't even got bones
(chorus)
Where have you been?
I forgot anyway
What have you seen today?
He's going down every summer
He's making a trip underground
Hurry up to share with his brother
All the secrets he found
Never afraid of getting further
Danny discovered a town
He wanted to talk with the Queen mother
Now he's wearing a crown
(repeat chorus)
Danny found these vile creatures
In the deep place of the room
They said we don't have any features
We haven't even got bones
Danny turned them into dishes
It didn't take too long
‘Coz they were all like fishes
They didn't even got bones
Never afraid of getting further
Danny discovered a town
He wanted to talk with the Queen mother
Now he's wearing a crown
(repeat chorus)
The lyrics to Syd Matters's "Bones" tell the story of Danny, who discovers "vile creatures" in the deep place of a room. These creatures are featureless and boneless, which Danny finds fascinating. He turns them into dishes, almost with ease, because they are like fishes and don't have bones. Later on, we find out that Danny is an adventurous person who seems to be curious about what lies beneath the surface. He goes down underground every summer and discovers a town that he wants to learn more about. He eventually meets the Queen mother and becomes king.
The lyrics of "Bones" have a surreal tone that speaks to the curiosity of human nature. Danny's fascination with featureless and boneless creatures is odd, but his curiosity pushes him to explore the underground world. The song inspires listeners to embrace their curiosity and be brave enough to dig deeper, explore the unknown, and discover their own treasures.

@OJeyjunior
this song to me is a headspace, a way to look under 3rd person to my anxiety and impostor's... remember everyone, those are just vile creatures in a deep place of a room, you are the whole castle, and the only quest that matters is writting your book. it isn't burnt, it's just not written.
