At Your Funeral Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This song will become the anthem of your underground
You're two floors down getting high in the back room
If I flooded out your house, do you think you'd make it out?
Or would you burn up before the water filled your lungs?


And at your funeral I will sing the requiem

[Verse 2]
This song will become the anthem of your underground
You're two floors down getting high in the back room
If I flooded out your house, do you think you'd make it out?
Or would you burn up before the water filled your lungs?

[Chorus]
And at your funeral I will sing the requiem
I'd offer you my hand
It would hurt too much to watch you die


[Verse 3]
And you can bet that when we mourn the death of you that night
They'll lay me on the dinner table, I will be the pig
With the apple in my mouth, the food that celebrates your end


[Chorus]
And at your funeral I will sing the requiem
I'd offer you my hand
It would hurt too much to watch you die
And at your funeral I will sing the requiem
I'd offer you my hand
It would hurt too much to watch you die

Genius Annotation

“A miserable song about the death of a friend, the lyrics themselves are said to refer to the death of ego”

Basically meaning, he loses his self-identity and now feels connected to everything due to psychedelics or something.

He has an internal conflict in whether to give in to the drug or keep his sense of self.
