Brick by Boring Brick Lyrics

Well, she lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of a 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
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-da

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 twelve
Well, make sure to build your home brick by boring brick
Or the wolf's 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
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle, whoa

Whoa, whoa

Well, you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah, you built up a world of magic

Well, 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
Oh, even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah

Go get your shovel (you'll be better)
And, we'll dig a deep hole (off without me now)
To bury the castle, bury the castle (ooh)
Go get your shovel (you'll be better)
And we'll dig a deep hole (off without me now)
To bury the castle, bury the castle (ooh)

What is the Meaning of Brick by Boring Brick?

With some people, they have this tendency to fall out of reality and get stuck into a fantasy world, which may seem perfect, but eventually starts falling apart, because they've been away from the real world for too long. "Well you built up a world of magic, because your real life is tragic" this is the fantasy world that people create and escape to, because of the tragedies in their life that they can't handle. "Go get your shovel and we'll dig a deep hole to bury the castle, bury the castle" implies that it's okay to step out into reality, and bury away the fantasy world, because the truth lies in the real world, which is where you should be... Most of the time.
