He's trying to get out, trying to redeem himself and taking every chance he gets to do so. Those all make where he is sound like hell. "Hey I can't live in here for another day My InterpretationThe way i see it, the first half is from someone who's stuck in hell's point of view. I need to go tell a few people that I care about them and I'm sorry. I'd prefer not to think too much about that part. The rest is about if you don't make the right choices, and isolate yourself, you become truly alone and tormented and "in hell" even though still alive. It gets harder to remember when things were good, and it doesn't end, and you just want it to go away We jump to the wrong conclusion that things are terrible, and we don't have help, and everything is going wrong, and again we need someone to tell us what's real It's happened before, but this time it seems worse, and it seems you are more alone, and less sure of what's really important When you put everything into your work, and it comes apart. Working hard, dealing with adversity, trying our best The second verse describes how we got here. Faith feels like the only thing left, and you try to keep going but you are really messed up.Įveryone has stuff to deal with, but instead of letting it bury their feelings, they just keep chugging along and are fairly happy. The grave is a metaphor for burying your feelings, burying your frustrations, and trying not to deal with them. "Hold on to faith as I dig another grave" "Hey, I can't live in here for another day"Īnother reference to being confused and not seeing clearly I feel alone, and I need someone to help me see clearly what's important You are not the only one that feels this way, and there is someone who cares and understands
Look for something longer term, beyond what you're dealing with When we're extremely busy and everyone wants our time "When the voices screaming are much too loud" Try to hear something important that someone is trying to say You might call it depression but I think it's something different, more of a pile of frustrations.
I think "Buried Alive" is about not enjoying life to the fullest because we're so busy and we get frustrated and we lock up our feelings, and then end up feeling alone and trapped. General CommentI think "Save Me" is much more clearly the mourning song on this CD. Strike you from the light (let me take in your soul)ĭie buried alive (let me take in your soul) This is now your life (what's it feel like?) Hey, I can't live in here for another day When the voices screaming are much too loud
