"I'm wasted, losing time I'm a foolish, fragile spine I want all that is not mine I want him but we're not right" -To me this is talking about "inner demons". In my case-Depression, anxiety, bipolar, anorexia. Also feelings of guilt, shame, regret, jealousy, lust, etc. "In the darkness I will meet my creators And they will all agree, that I'm a suffocator" -To me this describes laying in bed at night wishing to die. You're depressed and are contemplating what happens after death, how you die, etc. You feel like a burden on everyone; you're suffocating yourself, and those around you. "I should go now quietly For my bones have found a place To lie down and sleep Where all my layers can become reeds All my limbs can become trees All my children can become me What a mess I leave To follow" -I also feel this describes contemplating suicide. It seems almost peaceful, with mention of trees/children, and I would agree with the person wanting to be "useful". They don't want to hurt anyone around them anymore, but their feelings are such a mess. "Suffocator Oh no I'm sorry if I smothered you I sometimes wish I'd stayed inside My mother Never' to come out" -They feel so sorry for all the trouble/harm/hurt they've caused. They sometimes wish they never existed, because then they wouldn't have been a burden. |

I have to say the post that mentioned Manic Depression is definitely close to how I feel about the song. Though I also feel it does mention suicide as well. This song, describes what I'm going through so so well. I feel it's about a battle with depression. Here's my interpretation based on my feelings and thoughts. The world seem not the same Though I know nothing has changed It's all my state of mind I can't leave it all behind I have to stand up to be stronger ((Everything feels like it has changed. I don't feel like doing anything. All I want to do is just be alone in my room and cry. I feel like everything around me was flipped upside down. The world doesn't seem the same to me. But inside I know that it is. Everyone is else just carrying on. Nothing has changed except me. My state of mind, depressed. I'm the one who's changing. I need to be strong and get help so I don't become seriously suicidal. I have to stand up to be stronger than my depression.)) I have to try to break free From the thoughts in my mind Use the time that I have I can't say goodbye Have to make it right Have to fight, cause I know In the end it's worthwile That the pain that I feel slowly fades away It will be alright ((This first part of this reminds me of what I'm feeling when I think about suicide. This life is too much for me. I can't take it anymore. I need to get out. I want to die. I can still say good bye. But after a little bit then I start to realize that I can't do it. I can't kill myself. I have so much life left to live. And there are people who love me. And I hope that someday I'll get better, my pain will fade away, and it will be alright.)) I know, should realise Time is precious, it is worthwile Despite how I feel inside Have to trust it will be allright Have to stand up to be stronger ((Life is too short. With each passing second you're closer to death. There are days where I just feel completely horrible. Like a failure, and a burden. And that I'm just wasting time by being alive, when I could have it over with. Then there's the part of me that's hopeful. That tells me maybe someday I will feel better, and things will be okay. But I have to be strong, and keep on living, and don't give up on life just yet.)) Oh, this night is too long I have no strenght to go on No more pain, I'm floating away Through the mist I see the face Of an angel, who calls my name I remember, you're the reason I have to stay ((This sounds like a particularly bad night I had where I just lay in my bed thinking of how I'd like to kill myself. And I couldn't stop crying because inside I don't want to die. But the pain is just unbearable. But in the midst of my tears and thoughts about how I'd kill myself, and image of my mom and sisters was in my head. I thought of how sad my mom would be, I pictured her crying. And it made me cry more. And I realized I can't do this to them. If I killed myself they would blame themselves forever. They're the reason I have to stay.)) Oh and if anyone's wondering, I've gotten help and I'm starting on anti-depressants, and will be going to counseling soon. |

To me, this song is about severe depression. It's taking it's toll, and they just want to be done with life so they're not in emotional pain anymore. They're confused as to how they were once "happy" and not depressed and how suddenly the just want to die. But they're keeping the memories of being happy alive, hoping maybe someday they'll be fine again. Anyway, doubt I'm the only one to think of it this way lol. I just didn't bother reading all 10 pages. In any case, I think songs mean whatever you feel they mean. |
