The premature burial is a metaphor for feeling powerless and claustrophobic in today’s society.

Premature Burial Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This catacomb compels me
Corroding and inert
It weights and tries to pull me
Must I resist or re-assert?

[Chorus]
The unchanged and the unchangeable
Doing the zombierama
Singing "Oh, come and be like me
We're all sisters and brothers"

[Verse 2]
Ejected to this state of being
Don't bury me with this
I'm in a state of catalepsy
Can I really exist?
Clawing from the inside
Drowning in your chant, chant
Thoughts come flooding through me
Despairing unity

[Chorus]
The unchanged and the unchangeable
Doing the zombierama
Singing "Oh, come and be like me
We're all sisters and brothers"

[Bridge]
La-lalalalala-lalalala
La-lalalalala-lalalalala

[Verse 3]
Red and white carnations
Can't intoxicate my brain, brain
This blissful suffocation
It is driving me to pain, pain
Oh, what a bloody shame, shame

[Chorus]
The unchanged and the unchangeable
Doing the zombierama
Singing "Oh, come and be like me
We're all sisters and brothers"

[Outro]
I'm not your sister or your brother
Don't bury me with this, this
I'm not your sister or your brother
Don't bury me with this, this
Join hands, join hands
We're all sisters and brothers
Sisters and brothers
Sisters and brothers
Sisters and brothers
Sisters and brothers
I can't relate to you
You're no relation of mine, mine
La-lalalalala-lalalala
La-lalalalala-lalalalala
La-lalalalala-lalalala
