Bury Me
The Impulsive Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

7I can barely breathe, from this pain
That I feel inside of me
I can barely see, through the shadows
That conceal the light in me

Open my wings and I will fly
Broken down but I will fight
Open my wings and I will fly
Cold and helpless I will strive

I WILL SURVIVE!!

I'm slipping away, I'm falling down
This hole you left inside me, It drags me down
I'm torn apart, as I try to run away
But I can't escape this pain until you bury me

I can barely speak, from these demons
They just won't leave me alone
Now my eyes are open, from these dreams
I can only blame myself

Open my wings and I will fly
Broken down but I will fight
Open my wings and I will fly
Cold and helpless I will strive

I WILL SURVIVE!

I'm slipping away, I'm falling down
This hole you left inside me, It drags me down
I'm torn apart, as I try to run away
But I can't escape this pain until you bury me

Do you remember when we spent those nights
Now It's just a dream
JUST A DREAM!

Do you remember when we spent those nights
Now It's just a dream
JUST A DREAM!

I'm slipping away, and I've fallen down
Will You help me up
Or will you let me drown?

I'm slipping away, I'm falling down
This hole you left inside me, It drags me down
I'm torn apart, as I try to run away
But I can't escape this pain until you bury me





Buried in silence, drowning in violence
Flying without You, as dreams fade on.

Overall Meaning

The Impulsive's song "Bury Me" is a heartfelt ballad about dealing with intense pain and struggling to survive despite it all. The song opens with the lyrics "I can barely breathe, from this pain, that I feel inside of me. I can barely see, through the shadows, that conceal the light in me." These lyrics speak to the suffocating pain that the singer is feeling, the feeling that they're drowning and can't see a way out. The use of the imagery of shadows that conceal light is interesting because it suggests that there is still hope and light, but it's just being obscured.


As the song progresses, the singer's pain becomes more acute, and they talk about how they feel torn apart and can't escape the pain. They sing, "I'm slipping away, I'm falling down, This hole you left inside me, It drags me down." This hole is whatever event occurred that caused the singer so much pain, and it's clear that they're struggling to get away from it.


Despite the darkness and pain, there is a note of resilience and hope in the song. The singer declares, "I WILL SURVIVE!" and goes on to sing, "Open my wings and I will fly, Broken down but I will fight, Open my wings and I will fly, Cold and helpless I will strive." These lyrics talk about how even though the singer is broken, they won't give up, and they'll keep fighting.


Overall, "Bury Me" is a poignant song that deals with themes of pain, resilience, and hope.
