| Starfucker – Bury Us Alive Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| @[BlackLemonade:7208] another thing- at the end of the video, the black characters crumble and break down completely. i think this means when they have finally died. after they do crumble, the 'sun' shines and flares brightly- like the line that says the sun is clouded out, the sun representing happiness, that after they have finally died, they are finally happy. | |

honestly, i see this song as something very different than the other user. I see it more as a suicidal / questioning your existence and dark emotions type of thing. The music video makes me agree with this also. Though the artists other songs aren't really like this, its just how i picture it. "I know nothing ever keeps you safe for sure" I have a few different things on what this might mean. I am thinking it either means someone thinking of different ways they could die and how nothing in the world can keep you away from inevitable death. I also think it could mean nothing can keep your mind safe from having bad thoughts. "No one ever dug down so far" I also see this two ways. Either its the speaker saying how they feel nobody has ever felt as low as they do, or nobody has ever questioned or cared about what the speaker is really thinking of or feeling, or been able to have as deep of a concept on life as the speaker so they feel a bit out of place. "We go where heroes drop their bones outside" again, two ways. I see 'drop their bones outside' as being buried in a graveyard. The speaker either seems to make it seem like people who have died are their 'hero' because they want the same, or that the heroes are the survivors or the ones who have died who are then putting their dead loved one to rest. "No one ever knew I made it, no one ever" Its like the speaker is saying nobody ever realized or seemed to care as to how low they felt or even realized that they felt so poorly about their life and they don't understand how nobody else could feel this way knowing how awful around the world really is when you look at it in the same light they do. "Bury me alive" the speaker is alive but mentally they feel dead. They want to be put out of their misery. In the music video, people are painted completely pitch black and 'laid to rest' by people dressed in white, who then kiss their foreheads. Like the people dressed in white are maybe the bad thoughts that lead the painted black characters to 'die' or to 'feel dead' (their eyes remain open when they are 'laid to rest') and give them a kiss because that is what they want them to feel like. That, or the white ones are people who are better off only finally realizing how terribly the pitch black (black representing their sadness and dead feeling) characters really felt and feeling sorry when it was already too late. "Below Nothing ever grows up Come to see it through" The speaker is in that low place they have been and they are completely giving up faith. They are saying that 'below' (their bad place) 'nothing ever grows up" (nothing ever seems to change or get better) and they feel they will be stuck like this forever. "no one even noticed till i crawled in slow" basically nobody even seemd to give a sh*t about the speaker and how they were feeling until it was already too late, their mind was too far gone and they couldnt be helped. They feel bad that nobody was there to help them. "A new world clouded out the sun" 'a new world' is their new reality they have to live in, feeling so depressed and dead, completely taking over all the good and light (the sun) till they arent even able to see it anymore, even though it is still there. they cant see it or feel it. "No one even lives (place a touch of death to set me free)" they are saying nobody who is in that low place they are in can ever really live, even if they dont commit suicide or anything. hence the reason they say 'bury me alive' because even if you do live, you feel so dead that its so pointless. place a touch of death to set me free- an easy one. they just want to be taken out of their misery and die already instead of feeling dead and being forced alive. this song is so so beautiful really. It has such a soft and catchy rhythm you wouldnt even really notice the dark possibilities of the lyrics at first. I hope you can see it the same way I do. for a song with such little lyrics you are really able to dig deep into it |
