| Hanson – Use Me Up Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
Use Me Up is about nothingness. It speaks about constant nothingness as often being more painful than a scenes of misfortune in life. It is about feeling alone and helpless, drowning in a sea of emptiness. The line "nothing could be worse than numb" summarises the entire song and its meaning, in that misery and sorrow could never be more painful than being numb to the world and to life.
It essentially means that even if one finds oneself in the most unfortunate circumstances, at least they can still feel the pain and hurt and emotion, whereas if one finds oneself in the sea of emptiness, they suffer further because they feel nothing at all. The person drowning in the sea of emptiness only wants to feel emotion and to have contact with people, and does not discriminate as to the actions they force onto them. The line, "you can deceive me. I am yours to use" encapsulates this, in the sense that any connection, positive or negative, is tolerated.
Use Me Up is about trying to remind oneself that they are human and need to feel things, instead of constantly believing that there is nothing in one's life except from numbness, dissociating them not only from others, but from themselves.
