@Naota391: I would love to see that. Every time I sit down and either try to interpret the lyrics or read other people's interpretations, I see how there is so much MORE to this song. I think you had everything dead on. I was kinda surprised at the collage of metaphors behind the last two lines in the first section. Also, it's kinda strange how the third section seems to take on a more unified meaning than the rest of the sections... maybe I'm just reading it wrong, but it seems to point at the invasion of the Middle East over nuclear weapons that didn't really exist. |

I think that the song name says it all here, although it's something you have to think about. Most people pass off the song as emo upon reading "I Cut Myself". However, they neglect the fact that it says "I Cut Myself, Too". This one word bares significance when taken with the line -: "And it helps to know To know you're not alone, you're not fucked up" - along with other lines throughout the song, hinting towards another person. To me, this song represents a date with a girl who shows the singer her scars from cutting herself ("are you satisfied with making confessions"). It worries her that she deals with her emotions this way, especially because she doesn't see it as normal ("to know you're not alone, you're not fucked up". However, instead of thinking badly of the girl ("if it helps to ease your mind, you're not putting me out tonight"), he reveals that, he too, cuts himself to deal with life (hence the title). However, even though he does cut himself, and he understands what she's going through, he doesn't want to stay with her ("I'm not putting you in tonight"). |
