Casanova
The Funeral Portrait Lyrics

I'd rather bury you alive than bear the burden that you keep,
I would rather have you buried alive than endure the pain and suffering that you bring into my life.

'Cause you're a poison in my veins.
You bring nothing but misery and despair to me, like a poison that runs through my veins.

I'll never say surrender.
I refuse to give up or admit defeat, no matter how difficult the situation may be.

I'd rather be somebody else than play the victim in the end.
I would rather change and become someone else entirely than let you victimize me and bring me down.

How can I miss you if you never seem to leave,
I cannot miss you if you are always present and causing harm in my life.

My dying dear (My dying dear)?
Addressing the person as someone who is already dying or causing harm to themselves.

But I will stay right here.
I will not leave, I will continue to endure whatever pain and suffering you may bring.

Love had other plans for me,
Love had different intentions and paths for me in life.

So I locked my heart inside a box and threw away the key.
I closed off my heart and emotions, not wanting to be hurt or suffer from love again.

I'm in love with make believe,
I prefer to live in a fantasy world and create illusions, rather than face the harsh reality of life.

There's a special place in Hell for all the broken hearts like me.
People who have been hurt by love often feel like they will end up in a special place in Hell reserved for them.

At least I'm not chewing on my teeth,
I may not be doing well, but at least I am not to the point of grinding my own teeth in agony.

Under the maggots and the dirt.
Referring to the imagery of being buried after death, covered in dirt and decomposing.

You fucking liar, left alone!
Accusing the other person of being a deceitful and untrustworthy individual who left them alone.

25 familiar names I've met before.
Having gone through similar situations with many other people in the past, nothing about it is new or surprising.

There's a history here of what's in store.
Based on past experiences, one knows what will happen and what to expect with this person's behavior.

What good could ever come from toying with the heart of someone positively dangerous like me?
Questioning why anyone would ever want to hurt someone who is already broken and could potentially be dangerous.

The opposite of love is apathy!
Apathy, or a lack of emotion or concern, is considered the opposite of love.

I'm just a finger on the pulse of lucid dreams.
Feeling disconnected from reality and peace, and instead only experiencing lucid dreams (living in a world one controls when dreaming).

I'd rather bury you alive than put a bullet in your chest and watch you die!
Preferring to slowly end someone's life through making them suffer, rather than a quick death of a bullet.

I can finally tell the truth, and how I really feel,
Finally finding the courage to speak the truth and express emotions held in for so long.

The world is better off without you in it!
Believing that the world would be a better place without the harmful presence of the other person.

Beg for air, now that's the spirit!
Mocking or taunting the other person who is now struggling to breathe or stay alive.

It was just not meant to be,
Accepting that a certain relationship or outcome was not supposed to happen and that one must move on.

Now she's choking on her words just six feet underneath.
Referring to the other person being buried dead and suffering, as if trying to speak but unable to utter anything.
