"Bury Me" is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins's debut studio album, Gish.
“ | Bury me in love. Bury me in blood. These lines have no connection to a meaning. Impressions strung along the wires, criss-crossing chants and chasms. Nothing has any meaning. I am buried beneath non-meaning. We are lost. Songs like these point the way; dead ends that are worth coming into blindly with fatal force. I often forget songs like this exist, but they are testament to a faith I once had, now forgotten. | ” |
— Billy Corgan, Gish 2011 re-issue liner note |
Lyrics
[over you, like an angel]
bury me in love
bury me in blood
shield your kisses
take your heart
bury me if it hurts
i love my sister so [chain, unchain]
she don't smother me [chain, unchain, unchain]
i breathe in spades i know [unchain]
i'm a jack of all trades
won't you bury me?
want to see her born inside [hide, hide]
some are things you just can't hide
if you see her tell me why [hide, hide]
why won't she come outside
if you see her tell me why [hide, hide]
why won't she come outside
want to see her born inside [hide, hide]
some are things you just can't hide
she waits, bury me
she waits, bury me
