Them Bones Lyrics

I believe them bones are me
Some say we're born into the grave

I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big ole pile a them bones

Dust rise right on over my time
Empty fossil of the new scene

I feel so alone, gonna wind up a
Big ole pile a them bones

Toll due bad dream come true
I lie dead gone under red sky

I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big ole pile a them...
I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big ole pile a them...
I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big ole pile a them bones

this song sends chills down my spine. its obviously about mortality, about death, about how you are just a big ole pile of them bones, and thats what youll end up as. because.

this is what Layne said in a interview "the songs are about things that we were thinking and we wrote them down, and when u listen 2 them, whatever u think its about... THATS what its about!"

pretty much a song about one's own mortality,cause like Jerry said in a booklet for the box set,your just bones,you can lay down one night go to sleep,eyes closed,for for the last time

Gosh this aicguy22's good isn't he? This is the second time I've replied to him and both times he has hit the nail on the head as well as being the first to enter a post. Have a look at Dam That River to see his interpretation of that, that's where you'll find more answers.

Very sad song and I could relate to this song after me and my g/f broke up. I only listen to the song now cause its a good song.

kind of ironic seems like he was predicting his own death in several songs sad sad he was such a good singer

Although I see what you mean, I can't help but point out that it doesn't take a genious to predict that oneself will die one day.

@Latne didn’t write this song, Jerry did.slvercord17

It's about Layne's and Sean's eventual deaths.

I think Jerry was writing about someday becoming yesterdays news, and then eventually dying.

hey "PLAYER1916" even though i think that quote does have some meaning to it, if u look at the whole interview, the whole band, including layne, were giving some what, sarcastic and just cut up answers.

I can't believe only a few people have commented about this song.

I agree with aicguy22 on the meaning.
