Song Meaning of “1603” by Bury Tomorrow
1603 is a powerful, emotional song by Bury Tomorrow, exploring the life and death of their friend; Declan Hart.
The lyrics reflect on his life and the regret the singer feels about not being able to say goodbye before he passed away, and all the moments they missed out on together. The lyrics paint a vivid image of the pain of wondering what could have been had their friend still been alive.
The chorus sums it up best, “one more time, I’d tell you it’s alright, one more time, I’d like to say goodbye”. This captures the shame and regret the singer holds inside, knowing his friend is gone, and nothing he or they could have done would have changed it.
The story of Declan is a tragic one. 1603 serves as a tribute to their friend; a reminder to appreciate the time we have and never take it for granted. This song is the ultimate reminder to us all of how unpredictable life can be and should be appreciated.
