| 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. |
