I think it's a little bit of both. This song is very personal to me because I know the feeling of what it's like. You try so hard, do anything to get attention. But people just see you as another face in the crowd. You put so much of yourself out there that you have nothing left. You fade away from yourself because you given all you can, and all that you gave gets pushed aside in the world. It's like being an empty shell. Never been never felt never thought I'd say a word You've been silent for such a long time that it amazes you that you snap. And then no one does anything. They think it's generic. Because of that, I take the line about an empty gun both literally and metaphorically. You use that gun to get attention, to get someone to see your pain inside, but it's failure leaves you empty inside. I agree with other people about that line. To me, he's referring to both other people and himself in the lines that use second person. He's not himself anymore, and he's looking at what he really is. Heh, sorry if that made little sense ^_^''. I love this song so much, it's one of the few that make me cry. |
