Feels like my life’s been passing by With happiness just bein' a lie (Nothing's going right) How did I get here, where am I going? (Evident confusion) One more day without knowing Struggling for one more breath As I’m drowning in a painful death (The pain is killing him) Can someone reach out for me? In this dark and dreary sea (He needs help to get out of his pain) 'Cause it seems like no one can Hear the voice that’s calling (Nobody can/wants to help him) Try to take the most I can stand But I keep falling (He's trying to be strong, but he keeps 'falling') I try to chase the memories away But they haunt me everyday (Something terrible happened, possibly something HE did) I hope I get over this phase 'Cause I’m stuck inside this haze (Teenage angst?) All I need is a simple lift Such a sweet and precious gift (He needs someone to be a friend for him) So I don’t lose it all before What I have left is nothing more (He feels he's losing everything) In my isolating misery (His sadness makes him feel alone) I feel like the epitome Of darkness and despair (Bad things seem to concentrate on him) Just leading onto nowhere Will I be able to win this race? I’m runnin' at a slow pace (He isn't reacting fast enough) Trying hard to press on But the motivation’s gone (It's not worth it anymore) 'Cause it seems like no one can Hear the voice that’s calling (Nobody can/wants to help him) Try to take the most I can stand But I keep falling (Trying to be strong, but he can't handle the pressure and keeps 'falling') Oh I try to chase the memories away But they haunt me everyday (Something bad happened in his past, possibly something HE did) I hope I get over this phase 'Cause I’m stuck inside this haze (Teenage angst? Perhaps post-break up.) All I need is a simple lift Such a sweet and precious gift (Someone to be there for him, help him up) So I don’t lose it all before What I have left is nothing more (He feels like he's losing everything) It may not have to be this way Waiting for me they could be a new day (He realizes he can do something to help, wait for a new day) Maybe I can revise And escape from the lies (If he does good, the memories won't haunt him anymore. I try to chase the memories away But they haunt me everyday I hope I get over this phase 'Cause I’m stuck inside this haze All I need is a simple lift Such a sweet and precious gift So I don’t lose it all before What I have left is nothing more There could be something more To what my life may have in store (He realizes that just because he feels bad now doesn't mean his whole life will be.) I’ll move from where I began Keep on pressing through to the end (He's going to start all over and keep going until he wins!) That's my interpretation. Thanks =] |
