Take My Bones Away Lyrics

You lead the way
I'll follow...
You lead the way
I'll follow...

What was the plan here? I can't seem to stop
Pissing and spitting from bottom to top
Picking up viscera, tendons and broken remains

Did you find another way
Was it my turn, or yours, to say?
"Did you find another way?"

Take my bones away
I'll find them every day

I took your advice and the requisite pills
And the forbidden pies from a white windowsill
Swallowing caveats, Baphomet's breath and migraines
Did I tell you "don't come home"?
Why was your mouth beginning to foam?
Did I tell you "don't come home"?

Take my bones away
I'll find them every day

Take my bones away!
Take my bones away!
Take my bones away!
Take my bones away!
Take my bones away!
Take my bones away!

Cover art for Take My Bones Away lyrics by Baroness

I think this song is about how we are all just skin and bones.How, if you TAKE OUR BONES AWAY, you take away part of our being. " Picking up viscera, tendons and broken remains", going through life through things like breakups, drug addiction, or poverty. Going through the pains of life, because even though those things are awful, they are part of our individual life, and, again, define us.

I think it's about his dog. This kind of sounds like the behaviour of a dog. They can have really smelly breath, as does Baphomet. They are occasionally know to take pies from windowsills. They often leave half chewed bones about the yard.

.... also there are multiple other more direct mentions of dogs on this album. Maybe he was spending a lot of time with dogs. I always have.
