Cemetery Lyrics
Need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
All the ones who hate
I may be late
Always seem to get the wrong date
Well I guess it's fate
I live in a cemetery
Full of good will and integrity
You see
I have no specialty
Here's your warning
I'll give you click click boom
I live in a cemetery
I need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
I live in a cemetery
I need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
I live in a cemetery
I need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
I live in a cemetery
I need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
I live in a cemetery
I need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
I live in a cemetery
Not to imitate
But to irritate
All the ones who hate
Always seem to get the wrong date
Well I guess it's fate
Full of good will and integrity
You see
I have no specialty
I'll give you click click boom
I need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
I need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
I need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
I need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
I need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate

I think he is saying he lives in a place were people mean well but are really dead inside themselves and he wants out.
It’s about ambition. Watching video as a kid I always became melancholic and thinking about my status quo. Am I satisfied with what I have? Will I spend my whole life in this tiny flat with my parents? Is it the best I can get? Bitter taste of this song reminds me to reach higher, to crave for more and be brave enough to leave my nest, be myself, not shadow of my parents. Thank you for this encouragment Silverchair!
No, I've not seen it...come to think of it I've never seen a Sliverchair video...what happens in it? I have seen them live 3 years ago. Daniel is fit, but he threw a really wierd schiz. What happened is they had played in Nottingham the night before and this gig was in Manchester. He started making all the jokes about how "all you people in Nottingham eat 'Nothing but ham'. Then everyone started shouting, "You're in Manchester!" then he shouted "I KNOW WHERE THE FUCK I AM!" and everyone shut up because they were so shocked by his reaction.
uh huh, yeah anyways....this is my favorite SILVERCHAIR song. guess i just wanted to point that out for anybody who missed it... "Cemetery" is my favorite song by SILVERCHAIR (got that? S-I-L-V-E-R-C-H-A-I-R). ok, im done. hehe:)
I just really like this song.
Hmmmmmmmm
i agree with you b_man. but i also think the people where he is living are more superficial than well-meaning.
I think with the lyric "I need a change. Not to imitate. But to irritate" could be to do with the fact that when Silverchair started out, some people said they were nothing but Pearl Jam or Nirvana rip-offs, hence the 'immitation'. Then when they change their style, people will realise that they aren't rip-offs and therefore be 'irritated' by the fact that they were wrong.
hmm that makes a lot of sense this song is so sad to me.. the video is good as anyone here seen it? daniel is soooo hot in it
@RubberDuckieYAY omg yes , daniel is amazing . i love him in all his vids , interviews , pics . such a beautiful man

lol i bet it was cute! the video takes places at night and its in this builting thats missing a side and the band member are all dressed up but they seem bored and sad. they should all these odd things like two girls on a bed and an old man standing there watching and a kid killing a bug. i really like it for some reason..maybe its just cuz daniel looks really good in it..but he looks good in all of em so it must be something more...
