Misery is all we know lately
Saturday's are all the same
Sympathy is overrated
Like a snapshot when you've lost the game
Now its the funeral I become the serial killer of us all
Now its the funeral I become the serial killer of us all
No I don't wanna get thrown in your ocean
Don't try
You know that we already know you
It's over
At your, own burial don't forget to cry
At your, own burial
Looking at my 81st birthday
Everyday this body goes to waste
Remembering how I would raise an army when we went back to your place
Now it's the funeral I become a serial killer of us all
Now it's the funeral I become a serial killer of us all
No I, don't wanna get thrown in your ocean
Don't try, you know that we already know you
It's over
At your own burial, don't forget to cry
At your own burial
At your own burial, don't forget to cry
At your own burial
About This Song
"Burial" is a haunting electro-pop meditation on the slow death of a relationship, where the narrator acknowledges their role as the "serial killer" destroying both partners through toxic patterns. The song explores themes of emotional numbness, self-destruction, and the ritualistic nature of breakups, with lyrics that frame the end of love as both funeral and crime scene. Miike Snow's signature blend of melancholic synths and driving beats creates an atmospheric tension that mirrors the push-and-pull of wanting to end things while fearing the finality. The track stands out for its brutally honest self-awareness and the way it transforms relationship dissolution into something almost ceremonial, making it a standout from their debut album's exploration of modern romantic alienation.
