Bury The Castle.

This song means so much to me it's insane. The words are so deep and inspiring. Some people who listen to it, don't quite understand the lyrics. I'm about to go through what they really mean.

"Go get your shovel, and we'll dig a deep hole, to bury the castle, bury the castle."

This lyric is the chorus. And one of the most powerful to me, what it's saying is very easy to understand, but the meaning behind it is what's amazing. Castles are known as and a symbol of fantasy. Princesses, Kings, and Queens. The age of royalty. Belle, Ariel, Aurora, Cinderella, all of these fairytale princesses. Make believe. The castle in this song symbolizes fantasy and childhood. Bury the castle means to put away the fantasies, the wishes of a world of your own, and accept the world you live in.

"She lives in a fairytale somewhere too far for us to find, forgotten the taste and smell of a world that she's left behind."

She lives in a world that she's created, sort of like Alice in Wonderland. The world she lives in has become so much apart of her, she's lost touch with reality.

"The angles are all wrong now she's ripping wings off of butterflies"

Butterflies stand for new beginnings, as it was once a caterpillar. What the song means by ripping wings off of butterflies, is she has lost all hope for new beginnings.

"One day he found her crying coiled up on the dirty ground, her prince finally came to save her and the rest you can figure out, but it was a trick and the clock struck twelve."

This lyric is very self explanatory. Prince Charming came to save his Princess finally. But it was a trick, because when the clock struck twelve, the magic, the realness, the beauty of it, was gone.

"Build your home brick by boring brick or the wolves are gonna blow it down."

This line goes very deep. It tells you to make sure you build your life right, with each boring detail, don't skip things, do it right, otherwise it'll all come crashing down around you.

"You built up a world of magic, because your real life is tragic."

Magic is make believe. As we all know, it is to make something appear as if it were real when it obviously isn't.

It's time for me to bury my castle. In less than a year I will be a legal adult. It's time for me to begin acting like one.
