| Blonde Redhead – For The Damaged Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
The song is about reaching out to someone who has been suffering deeply by themselves (Maybe again/he will be alone)and to help them come out of the darkness . Perhaps it's a loss, or bullying, or depression but the singer sees how it has broken him and it's familiar (Guess we're equally damaged). She tells him to take things slowly (Find your name/Do it all the same equally) and to ask for help when it's too much (Signal when you can't breathe no more). She says I see you are hurting because she was there too (Say you were me/Then you could see the view/You'll know we are equally damaged). But she says you can bring yourself out by taking your life back (Don't be a fool, make it easier/You'll learn to say when). But she knows it's hard but can help you when it feels too continue (Signal if you can't/Say, "no more"). She tells him that things won't get better by themselves (Don't cross your finger/Sundays will never change), the world and the bullies will always be out there (They keep on coming). The hurt makes you different (You'll be a freak), but in the end you're not alone because she is like you - and she'll always be there (And I'll keep you company). |
