you're right, it is about bulima. I have an eating disorder as well as Josh (lead singer), and I find it easy to pick out what he's saying.. or at least what it means to me. I believe that inthis song, Josh is referring to himself. Having an eating disorder makes you feel like a different person and I think this is what he's referring to. You feel like one person whne you're going about your day and you feel like a complete other person while you obsessing about food, weight, or your body. This one's of you taking your pill - referring to himself being casual or maybe him before his eating disorder Sometimes forget and that's okay I guess - forgetting about who he was or is without this disease This one's of me at my sisters wedding day - him having the eating disorder.. possibly thinner, especially at weddings where everyone's together eating.. its terrible pressure All My faces They were wasted - When you have a problem like this, you don't want people to know. you hide behind a mask everyday. There's nothing more shameful then feeling like you're sick from food and obsession. Sometimes you succeed, and other people never ifnd out, but you can't hide from yourself. This one's of me throwing up for you - him speaking from the bulima point of view. He's throwing up for himself. And I'm paler still, but that's the way you wanted it - still from the bulima point of view. paler from the sickness. "thats the way you wanted it" coming from the fact that ppl with Ed's (depending upon what they are).. want to do it or want to have it.. but they dont at the same time.. no one wants an eating disorder.. but its the feeling of obligation to be a certain way or to deal with obsessivness (probably makes no sense to some.. but theres no way for me to put it) This one's of you Certain of cancer - cancer = disease = bulima? All my faces They all were wasted on feeling small - can be taken literally or metaphorically. Literally as in, all the masks he wore to try to hide what he was doing and who he was on being skinny..from having bulima, or.. metaphorically... feeling small as feeling like crap You're barely breathing, I know - who he was is barely alive now What now it's starting to show - how sick he is, And I know it won't ever change, but it hurts the same - when you have an eating disorder, itll never leave you. you may make a "recovery" but nothing recovers the pain and piece of you that was lost A fever broke somewhere behind July - not completely sure about what he's referring to, unless its literally talking about a symptom of having bulima And remember how I weighed 135 - self explanitory and we collide... This one's of me losing my weight I'm feeling afraid -also self explanitory this song is very touching and personal. i can relate to it well as im sure many others can. It's nice to see a guy who admits a problem like this.. reminds us that girls aren't just the only ones who suffer from eating disorders. |
