Funeral Song Lyrics

Cover art for Funeral Song lyrics by Sleater-Kinney

I think it's more about staying away from an ex than about fears of commitment. The first two lines are maybe the most straightforward.

I also don't think anyone dies for real in the song. They are burying the love, not any people.

The image of fire for an enticing but dangerous relationship, it gets used all the time but it is still awesome.
