The Funeral Lyrics

[Intro: Iann Dior]
(Iann, I miss you)

[Verse 1: Iann Dior]
I'm still avoiding the fact
That we went off track (We did)
Running the wrong way
Misreading the map (Map)
Stealing your heart
And giving it back (Back)
We should be honest
But we don't do that

[Pre-Chorus: Iann Dior]
Was it all a waste of time?
When I'm staring in your eyes
I see nothing but the funeral

[Chorus: Iann Dior]
In my head, I'm already gone
Nothing's changed, but everything's different
You're in my arms, but something's off
And I don't know why, I don't know why
I'm holding on when nothing's left
Don't wanna say goodbye, but halfway through saying it
I hold my breath and bite my tongue
And I don't know why, I don't know why

[Verse 2: Iann Dior]
We're working in reverse
I think you're cold like a fever
Jumping the gun over nothing
You all in your head, going feet first
It's starting to act like a throwaway
It's starting to feel like there's no way
I know it's been rough
Went through enough
I know you not okay

[Pre-Chorus: Iann Dior]
Was it all a waste of time?
When I'm staring in your eyes
I see nothing but the funeral

[Chorus: Iann Dior]
In my head, I'm already gone (Gone)
Nothing's changed, but everything's different
You're in my arms, but something's off
And I don't know why, I don't know why
I'm holding on when nothing's left
Don't wanna say goodbye, but halfway through saying it
I hold my breath and bite my tongue
And I don't know why, I don't know why

[Outro: Iann Dior]
Don't know why, I don't know why
Don't know why, I don't know why
Don't know why, I don't know why

The Funeral Lyrics Meaning

The lyrics of "The Funeral" by Iann Dior convey a sense of emotional conflict and uncertainty in a relationship. Iann expresses feelings of regret, confusion, and the realization that the connection might be fading. The metaphor of a funeral suggests the end of something meaningful. Despite being physically close, there's a palpable emotional distance. The chorus reflects the struggle to let go even when it feels inevitable.

[Verse 1]
Iann grapples with the acknowledgment that the relationship has veered off course. The metaphor of running the wrong way and misreading the map implies a lack of direction. Stealing and giving back the heart suggests a cycle of emotional exchange. The honesty that should prevail in the relationship seems elusive.

[Pre-Chorus]
Iann questions the value of the time spent together, contemplating whether it was all a waste. Staring into the eyes of the other person reveals only a sense of finality, like attending a funeral.

[Chorus]
The chorus captures the paradox of feeling emotionally detached while physically present. Everything seems different, and though the desire to hold on remains, the inevitability of saying goodbye looms. The internal conflict is portrayed through holding one's breath and biting one's tongue, unable to express the impending farewell.

[Verse 2]
The second verse delves into the complexities of the relationship, describing it as working in reverse. The imagery of being cold like a fever and jumping the gun conveys a sense of abrupt actions and emotional distance. The partner is depicted as being stuck in their own thoughts, heading into the situation feet first.

[Outro]
The outro reinforces the lingering uncertainty and confusion expressed throughout the song. The repetition of "Don't know why" emphasizes the lack of clarity in understanding the dynamics of the relationship and the reasons behind its challenges.
