Bones
Whispers of Betrayal: Unraveling the Bone-Chilling Tale
Lyrics
They're going out to meet inside an empty house
Individuals are gathering in an uninhabited residence.
To hatch a plan to run me out of town
They're plotting to force the narrator out of the town.
They'll come when I sleep
Threat of an impending attack while the narrator is asleep.
they'll circle the house
The assailants will surround the house.
Put cyanide into the water pipes
Poisoning the water supply with cyanide.
Wait till I walk out fall onto my knees
Waiting for the narrator to exit and succumb, possibly in a vulnerable position.
To some family
The destination or fate involves a family.
then they'll drive me out
Forcing the narrator to leave.
To the wasteland
Being taken to a desolate, barren area.
To leave me for the wolves
Abandoned in a harsh environment, left for danger.
To eat my face
A graphic imagery of being vulnerable to a violent end.
We'll sit and shiver the maggots eat out my life that's in my ears
Imagery of decay and the narrator's suffering.
We'll sit and stare as the maggots eat out my life that's in my ears
Repetition of the decay imagery, emphasizing the horror.
They'll laugh about it to my horror
Anticipation of others finding the situation amusing.
When my body's rotten and hollow
The dark humor of the situation revealed as the body deteriorates.
And the lights are finished on time
The end of life, symbolized by the completion of lights "on time."
Nothing left except for my bones
Only the bones remain after the decay and destruction.
