Circa Survive – Sleep Underground Lyrics 13 years ago
I think this song is about someone that recently died. "sleep underground" meaning lying in a buried coffin.

You play that role for years
There's nothing else
But you don't need your ears
To listen to yourself
Don't talk back
Keep your lips closed tight

here hes thinking about his final thoughts toward the person. hes speaking towards the person and to himself.

Sleep underground tonight
Sleep underground tonight
Sleep underground tonight
If you were meant to save me
If you were meant to save me
Then I didn't realize 'till now
'Cause this is just for you and I alone
This is just for you and I alone
This is just for you and I alone
This is just for you and I alone

Sleep underground tonight
Sleep underground tonight
This is just for you and I.

he thinks about death, and what happens when we die. he wonders if he'll go to heaven, if he even believes in heaven. "If you were meant to save me" is like the death giving him wake up call to get more in touch with his spiritual self before he dies. "This is just for you and I alone" meaning no one has to know about this, but he is silently thankful for the wake up call even though it is painful and sad to think about.
