Lyrics
Could you take my conscience
Expressing a desire for someone to take responsibility for the speaker's conscience.
Place it in a box underground
Suggesting a metaphorical act of burying the speaker's conscience in a hidden place.
You can seal my guilt too
Extending the metaphor to include sealing the speaker's guilt along with the conscience.
Pack on the dirt so they can never be found
Emphasizing the need to bury these emotions deep enough that they can never resurface.
I'll dissipate before too long
Expressing the speaker's expectation of fading away or losing themselves over time.
You won't find me
Stating that the speaker will become untraceable or hidden.
I'm buried under the weight of what I've done
Describing the burden of the speaker's actions weighing heavily on them.
And I'm dying
Indicating the speaker's acknowledgment of their impending demise, possibly influenced by their actions.
I'm so tired of hiding a troubled past
Expressing weariness from concealing a troubled history.
It consumes me nightly
Conveying that the speaker's problematic past haunts them regularly.
With pressure building I'll finally give in
Suggesting that the pressure of concealing the truth will eventually lead the speaker to confess or confront their actions.
They say with truth comes healing
Introducing the idea that acknowledging the truth is a path to healing.
Take the time to reminisce
Encouraging reflection on past experiences.
Reflecting on the scope of this
Asking to consider the full extent of the speaker's actions and their impact.
The consequences I'd remiss
Admitting that the consequences of the speaker's actions were overlooked or ignored.
I know I'm the cause of it
Accepting responsibility for causing the issues mentioned earlier.
Buried under the weight of what I've done
Summarizing the theme of the song, emphasizing the weight of the speaker's actions.
