‘Bones’ is a song written about America’s society and how intelligence and meaning has dwindled as society ages, though, she says she loves leaving it up for interpretation.
‘“Yeah but it’s not about being accurate that’s what it means to you and I love that.” – Emily Finchum
[Verse 1]
Sometimes they find whole skeletons
Dug up from down below
They put the bones where they don't fit
To make one of their own
[Verse 2]
They're so set on what they want
The bones aren't put where they belong
They go and put it on display
And say they're anything but wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
You took the bones of a Tyrannosaurus Rex
And said that it was human
Now it's needlessly complex
[Chorus]
The world is a museum filled with meaningless exhibits
And every gallery and hall is bustling with idiots
You think you're so logical but you're barely making sense
You can't change what's set in stone, or what's inside your head
[Verse 3]
They dig them up from ruins
From things of long ago
Then they take your words and bury them
Six feet down below
[Verse 4]
They're so set on what they think
They fail their archaeology
Instead, they're just hypocrites
Who don't make apologies
[Chorus]
The world is a museum filled with meaningless exhibits
And every gallery and hall is bustling with idiots
You think you're so logical but you're barely making sense
You can't change what's set in stone, or what's inside your head
[Bridge]
There's a fracture in the spine
"You're wrong, victory is mine"
There's a fracture in the spine
"You're wrong, victory is mine"
[Chorus]
The world is a museum filled with meaningless exhibits
And every gallery and hall is bustling with idiots
You think you're so logical but you're barely making sense
You can't change what's set in stone, or what's inside your head (2x)
[Bridge]
There's a fracture in the spine
"You're wrong, victory is mine"
There's a fracture in the spine
"You're wrong, victory is mine"
