Breaking These Bones Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lights out and pull the shades
Look back on better days
Alone now with this pain that's burning
No one feels like me
I blacken all the walls
I'm blocking all the calls
Once here, but now you're gone
It's hurting, and so
[Chorus]
Here in my room
Dark as my soul
Grief is the weight
Breaking these bones
[Verse 2]
Lock down and close the door
I've heard it all before
That time can heal all wounds
If only I could turn back time
I'm reaching far behind
Without you, I am blind
Once here, but now you're gone
It's hurting, and so
Lights out and pull the shades
Look back on better days
Alone now with this pain that's burning
No one feels like me
I blacken all the walls
I'm blocking all the calls
Once here, but now you're gone
It's hurting, and so
[Chorus]
Here in my room
Dark as my soul
Grief is the weight
Breaking these bones
[Verse 2]
Lock down and close the door
I've heard it all before
That time can heal all wounds
If only I could turn back time
I'm reaching far behind
Without you, I am blind
Once here, but now you're gone
It's hurting, and so
[Chorus]
Herе in my room
My bed is my throne
Tears arе the weight
Breaking these bones
And so here, in my room
Dark as my soul
Grief is the weight
Breaking these bones
Breaking these bones
Herе in my room
My bed is my throne
Tears arе the weight
Breaking these bones
And so here, in my room
Dark as my soul
Grief is the weight
Breaking these bones
Breaking these bones

What did The Offspring say about "Breaking These Bones"?
Genius Answer
I’ve lost some people in the last couple of years. When you’re really low, you just want to be in your room. You want to shut the blinds. You want it to be black. You want to lay on your bed. And the feeling that grief can be so physical. It literally feels like it’s crushing you, it’s crushing your bones. I know most kids are going to listen that song and go, ‘Oh, that sounds like a good moshing song.’ That’s fine too. Ultimately, I want people to be entertained. If they want to take a deeper look at the meaning of the lyrics, there’s definitely some meaning there, but it’s not required reading.
