The Funeral Song Lyrics
I dumped you again
I don't understand
It's happened before
Can't take it no more
These foolish games
Always end up in confusion
I'll take you back
Just to leave you once again
I died in my dreams
What's that supposed to mean?
Got lost in the fire
I died in my dreams
Reaching out for your hand
My fatal desire
I've failed you again
'Cause I let you stay
I used to pretend
That I felt ok
Just one big lie
Such a perfect illusion
I made you mine
Just to hurt you once again
I died in my dreams
What's that supposed to mean?
Got lost in the fire
I died in my dreams
Reaching out for your hand
My fatal desire
I don't understand
It's happened before
Can't take it no more
Always end up in confusion
I'll take you back
Just to leave you once again
What's that supposed to mean?
Got lost in the fire
I died in my dreams
Reaching out for your hand
My fatal desire
'Cause I let you stay
I used to pretend
That I felt ok
Such a perfect illusion
I made you mine
Just to hurt you once again
What's that supposed to mean?
Got lost in the fire
I died in my dreams
Reaching out for your hand
My fatal desire

Lauri actually said in an interview once this song is about a relationship he had with this girl where he kept breaking up with her and he didn't know why, he just kept hurting her and felt really shitty about it. And he kept having dreams where he died, or something... This song is amazing live
The Funeral Song is an apology to Lauri's exgirlfriend, Siiri Nordin. The strings it has tear it apart from the other songs The Rasmus have made. It also has two versions, the other version, which is in the single, is called: 'The Resurrection', and it is even better for it has drums... I agree with simsfreg, this song is amazing live Greeting From Mexico
I love this song. The lyrics are beautiful. GOING TO SEE THE RASMUS IN 2 WEEKS!!!!
Good song, but a little sloppy lyrics.. Listen to it yourself, first all these amazingly beautiful stringed instruments as an intro, and then it falls BAM with his "I dumped you again". Couldn't he have written a little more... proper lyrics for music like this?
oh, i love the rasmus! shame they got boo'd off in Reading (or was it leeds?)
I love this song cant wait too see them in 17 days :P
like to mention that i love lauri.... feathers and all...
this song really reminds me of an ex boyfriend i've got... we dated for altogether roughly 15 months, over a span of just under two years... we broke up three times, the third only a few days ago...
the verses are how i feel...or used to... when we would get back together only to break up again...
kevlar_soul - I have to agree with your last comment. I did find it a little...blunt. But we have to keep in mind that they are foreign and possibly not as familiar with the English language. (But considering some of the other stuff they've produced, they don't seem to have an excuse. lol) Perhaps it is done deliberately for a more striking effect. Still, I think the lyrics for the chorus are beautiful and the whole song definitely lives up to the Rasmus' usual amazing quality.
It's really good once I listened to it all night by putting it in a never ending playlist, it's scary too
Go The Rasmus!!!!!!
