Bags Of Bones Lyrics

Lyric discussion by TSRA 

Cover art for Bags Of Bones lyrics by Owen

this song, to me, represents the recognition of one's mortality- the fact that all we really are is a "bag of bone," and further that we all, on a very deep level, wish we were immortal ("If only these broken bodies were ours forever").

Ernest Becker has a book called "The Denial of Death," which I highly recommend.
