Bury Me
Embracing Silence: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'Bury Me' by Better Anyway
Lyrics
I'll let the rain fall
I'm willing to endure difficulties or challenges.
And drown me out again
I want the rain to drown out my thoughts or emotions once again.
I've been here before
I've experienced this situation before.
And I've grown closer to the silence
Through previous experiences, I've become more connected to silence or solitude.
I feel so overgrown and out of place
I feel overwhelmed and out of place.
I guess I found out easily
I've discovered this truth easily.
How anyone can replace me
I've realized how easily someone can take my place.
I'm complacent like the things you don't see
I'm complacent, similar to unnoticed things.
I don't know if I'll ever make it out of this
Uncertain if I'll overcome my current situation.
Please don't hold out for something more than dissonance
Don't expect more than dissonance (lack of harmony or agreement).
Bury me under the flowers we put in the ground
Symbolic request to be buried under flowers, possibly representing a desire for tranquility.
Low enough to feel my doubt
Buried low enough to confront and feel my doubts.
But I'm trying to slow down
Expressing an effort to slow down and take things at a more measured pace.
It's what I'm best at
My proficiency lies in neglecting what's beneficial for me.
Neglecting everything that's good for me
Continuing the pattern of neglecting positive aspects in life.
And finding ways to keep the walls
Actively maintaining barriers or defenses around me.
I've built around me
Referencing emotional walls that have been constructed.
I'm finding peace in distance
Finding solace or tranquility in maintaining distance from others.
Like broken glass in a clinched fist
Comparing peace to broken glass, possibly fragile or delicate.
I'm holding on or I'm losing my grip
Indecision between holding on and losing control.
But I'm trying to slow down
Reiterating the intention to slow down.
To slow down
Continuing the theme of trying to decelerate life's pace.
