Bank on the Funeral
Funeral's Lesson: Embracing Redemption Amidst Life's Heavy Burdens
Lyrics
I bank on the funeral
The speaker relies or counts on the occurrence of a funeral.
'Cause I learned all my lessons that way
The speaker has learned important life lessons from attending funerals.
I chipped from my heaven's sin
The speaker has damaged or eroded their purity or innocence, likened to a heaven, due to their sins.
Until I stole everything that I made
The speaker has taken or appropriated everything they earned or created.
And this millstone is heavy as hell
The burden or weight the speaker carries is significant and troublesome.
And I can't see so well
The speaker's vision or perception is impaired.
And I still feel the swell
The emotions or sensations from past experiences linger.
And my hands and my feet are expelled
The speaker feels disconnected or expelled from their own body.
Better dead than in hell
Preferable to be dead than experiencing torment or suffering.
And again with the swell
A recurrence or continuation of past emotional swells or upheavals.
I bank on the funeral
Reiteration of relying on the occurrence of a funeral.
'Cause the truth is alive, is okay
Acceptance that truth, even when harsh, is preferable or manageable.
The salt was in other words
Metaphorical comparison suggesting that difficulties or trials were more interesting or engaging in the past.
More flavorful in those days
Implies that hardships were experienced in a more vivid or impactful manner previously.
And this millstone is heavy as hell
Reiteration of the heavy burden or weight the speaker carries.
And I can't see so well
Continued impaired vision or unclear perspective.
And I still feel the swell
Persistence of past emotions or sensations.
And my hands and my feet are expelled
Feeling disconnected or expelled from one's own body, continuing from earlier lines.
Better dead than in hell
Preferable to be dead than to suffer in hell, a recurring sentiment.
And again with the swell
A continuation or recurrence of past emotional upheavals.
Oh, and lesson learned could tell
Reflects on a lesson learned, preferring death to torment or suffering.
Better dead than in hell

Oh, and lesson learned could tell

Better dead than in hell
Reiterates the preference for death over extreme suffering.
Oh and lesson learned could tell

Better dead than in hell
Reiterates the sentiment that it's better to be dead than to experience extreme suffering.
