The Bones are a band from Karlskrona, Sweden. Since the kick-off back in '96, these guys have been on stage several hundred times all over Europe putting on an amazing performance. But the rise to success started in the fall of 1997 when they released "The Horrorway E.P." (own label), which sold out in just a few months. This success drove the guys to put out a second mini-album titled "Six feet down and two fingers up". During the recording-sessions for "Six feet down, two fingers up", the band was contacted by the german label " People like you Records (sublabel to Century Media Records).and in the summer of '99 The Bones signed the contract. The rock'n'roll circus was about to take off! Not content with this they also signed with german booking-agency, MAD. This crazy carousel made way for their first full-length album "Screwed, blued and tattooed" which, in turn, resulted in the band touring all over Europe gaining new fans wherever they went. The Bones was rattling the cage, making some noise

In the spring of 2002 The Bones released their second album "Bigger than Jesus", again the guys recorded at the PAMA-studio backed-up by "People like you". Great reviews were echoing from all over Europe but the album also attracted some great feedback from the U.S. Touring has continued and the band has headlined several festivals and toured arenas together with Die Toten Hosen. Live The Bones have also supported bands like D.A.D, U.S. Bombs for a whole european tour, shared stages with Motörhead, Roger Miret & The Disasters, 999, Angelic Upstarts, Cockney Rejects and so on... As you can see this is band a that play to live and live to play - down to the bone!

The Bones Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you say over
Is it really over?
Cause I could hold ya
Til you change your mind
You're like a fire
Burning brighter
I'd put you out
But I know that there ain't no use in trying

Ain't nobody gonna take the place of you
Ain't gon' make no difference bout the things they do
Ain't nobody gonna take the place of you
In my life

When you say higher
I can take you higher
And farther
Than you wanna go
Cause I love ya
Like the sun loves shining
Like the diamond blinding
On the hand that I hold

Ain't nobody gonna take the place of you
Ain't gon' make no difference bout the things they do

Ain't nobody gonna take the place of you
In my life

Overall Meaning

The Bones's song "Ain't" expresses a heart-wrenching plea of a lover who wants to hold on to a relationship that is on the brink of ending. The lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to do everything to keep the relationship going, even if the other person has given up. The opening lines of the song, "When you say over, is it really over?" indicates the singer's confusion and desperation in finding out whether the relationship has truly come to an end. The use of the phrase "cause I could hold ya till you change your mind" reveals his willingness to wait for his lover to come back to him.

The second verse of "Ain't" expresses the depth of the singer's love for his significant other. He promises to take his lover "higher and farther" and professes that he loves her "like the sun loves shining." The metaphor of the diamond that blinds creates an image of something that is both beautiful and powerful, symbolizing the strength of the love that the singer holds. The chorus repeats the idea that no one can take the place of his lover, indicating the depth of his love and commitment.

Overall, "Ain't" is a melancholic and emotional song that expresses the feeling of heartbreak and the desperation to hold on to a relationship that is falling apart.

Line by Line Meaning

When you say over
When you declare the end of this relationship

Is it really over?
Are you sure it's truly over?

Cause I could hold ya
Because I'm here for you, I could offer you comfort

Til you change your mind
Until you come to a different conclusion

You're like a fire
You're intense, passionate, and wild

Burning brighter
Burning more strongly

I'd put you out
I'd try to extinguish your flames

But I know that there ain't no use in trying
But I know it's futile to try and stop you

Ain't nobody gonna take the place of you
No one can replace you

Ain't gon' make no difference bout the things they do
It doesn't matter what others do

In my life
In my existence
