Cemetery (Silverchair song)

"Cemetery" is a song by the Australian rock band Silverchair, released as the fourth and final single from their debut album, Frogstomp, in 1995. While not as commercially successful as the album's previous singles ("Tomorrow," "Pure Massacre," and "Shade"), "Cemetery" further cemented Silverchair's presence in the alternative rock scene.

The song is characterized by its heavy, grunge-influenced sound, featuring distorted guitars and Daniel Johns' distinctive vocals. The lyrics, written by Johns at a young age, explore themes of death and mortality, reflective of the darker and more introspective aspects often found in grunge music. While some interpretations suggest literal themes of cemeteries and burial, others propose a more metaphorical understanding, relating to the burial of emotions, relationships, or past selves.

"Cemetery" was performed live by Silverchair throughout their career and is included on several of their live albums and compilations. While not typically considered one of their signature hits, "Cemetery" remains a noteworthy track from Frogstomp and provides insight into the band's early exploration of heavier and more serious themes.
