More often then not, I find that me, my girlfriends, and well women in general are caught up in this romantic idea of what love is or is suppose to be. My thoughts are that this comes from the strong influence of Disney movies and fairy tales with happy endings. As we age we find that there is no Prince Charming, no castles, and no true love. People come in and out of our lives, they serve us a purpose as we serve them and then the cycle begins again and one day we hope we can be happy. This song for me, is about that very thing, a disillusioned little girl growing up believing in fairytales and then slowly evolving to realize that they dont exist and never did, Hence the lyrics “bury the castle”…

BRICK BY BORING BRICK
She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she’s left behind
It’s all about the exposure the lens I told her
The angles were all wrong now
She’s ripping wings off of butterflies
keep your feet on the ground
when your head’s in the clouds
Well go get your shovel
And we’ll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Well go get your shovel
And we’ll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle; bury the castle
Ba da ba ba da ba ba ha
So 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 12
Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brick
or the wolves gonna blow it down
keep your feet on the ground
when your head’s in the clouds
Well go get your shovel
And we’ll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Well you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah you built up a world of magic
If it’s not real
You can’t hold it in your hand
You can’t feel it with your heart
And I won’t believe it
But if it’s true
You can see it with your eyes
Or even in the dark
And that’s where I want to be, yeah
Go get your shovel
We’ll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
