My Bones
Unveiling the Enigmatic Journey: My Bones by Sweet Giant
Lyrics
Oh I can smell my bones,
The speaker is sensing or becoming aware of their own mortality.
Don't think that they're my own,
There is doubt or uncertainty about the ownership or identity of the bones.
Like they came from somewhere old,
The bones evoke a sense of antiquity, as if they originated from a distant and old place.
Somewhere long ago,
The reference to "long ago" suggests a connection to the past, possibly a historical or ancestral link.
So tell me what you see,
The speaker is seeking others' perspectives on what they perceive in the bones.
Is it somewhere that we've been?
Questioning whether the observed imagery is familiar from past experiences.
Or is it something that we need?
Considering if what is seen is a necessity or something that can be avoided.
Oh I don't think so
Expressing skepticism or disbelief regarding the necessity of what is observed.
I know I don't know, don't know a thing so
The speaker acknowledges their lack of knowledge and understanding.
I cant just wait until tomorrow
Impatience and a desire to confront the unknown without delay.
So why'd they have to lie,
Raising a question about dishonesty and unnecessary death.
When no one really had to die,
Challenging the need for casualties or deception.
But if you bite the hand that bleeds,
If one harms those who support them, who will provide for them in return?
Then who will feed you?
An exploration of the consequences of harming those who help or sustain you.
But it is never far too late,
Emphasizing that it's never too late to make amends or change one's path.
Dry your eyes and do not wait,
Encouraging immediate action and not delaying positive changes.
Is this how we'll lay our bones,
Pondering the legacy or impact the speaker will leave behind.
No I don't think so
Rejecting the idea that the speaker's legacy will involve laying bones in a negative or regretful manner.
I know I don't know, don't know a thing so
Reiterating the speaker's acknowledgment of their lack of knowledge and understanding.
I cant just wait until tomorrow
Reemphasizing the urgency to act without postponing positive changes.
