Buried at sea analysis

Video

The story line in "Buried at sea" begins with a man wearing a ripped and scruffy suit waking up in a coffin and walking around, apparently looking for something on a beach. After a few shots of the man walking around the beach, we are shown him picking up a small book that he finds by the side of the coffin he awoke in. He opens the book and finds a key has been hidden inside the pages. We then see the man walking through what appears to be a small forest. The camera keeps focusing on his feet and the ground he is walking on. The next shot shows the man walking across the horizon then walking under "The angel of the North" The man is seen to be continuing on his walk through the beach and collapses. The man is then seen awaking from his coffin again, stumbling away and collapsing on the floor. He begins to regurgitate the key that he found in the book and drops it onto the sand. When the man stands up he starts to go crazy flinging his arms around and violently removing the coat he is wearing, slamming it to the ground. The man is then seen awaking from his coffin for the third time, this time standing up and immediately running down the beach removing his jacket, he falls to the floor and starts to claw at the sand, eventually digging up and retrieving the key. He turns and starts to run in the other direction, running through the forest and then appears in an urban modern day setting. He passes the angel of north for a second time. He gets to his destination and the camera focus' on his feet as he stands in front of a lighthouse holding the key. In this video, the shots of the band playing are grainy and have the black ring around the screen efffect.



Lyrics

Send my regards to you and yours I'm not coming back for you And I'll hold onto the last memory of you I'll hold onto you and bury you at sea How can you watch me split in two?You've done this before, you know me oh too well Send my regards to you and yours And no hope will come from this So turn around and run How can you smile when you see me crumbling?And we all stood back and watched the waves crash down on you Send my regards to you and yours And there's no hope for someone as cold as you You made me sink into the coldest of Waves watch you sink into lies that you created



Analysis - I think its about a relationship or a friend, and they haven't been a good friend/partner and they have lied to the the other person so many times "You've done this before, you know me oh too well" and they don't want to know them anymore.And now there life is falling around them and know one is there to help them because of what they have done in the past"I watch you sink into lies that you created ""And we all stood back and watched the waves crash down on you" As quoted from "http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858672838/"



"Send my regards to you and yours, I'm not coming back for you" Saying his goodbyes to the person in question and washing his hands of them



"How can you smile when you see me crumbling?" Asking the person, even though he knows they are not as close as they were, after all they've been through, how can they take pleasure in seeing him in pain?



"You made me sink into the coldest of waves" I see the "coldest of waves" to be guilt, and he is accusing the person this song is about of making him feel guilty all the time
