This song fits those who have taken their lives or those who are struggling with depression. "But you listen to the tone And the violent rhythm And though the words sound steady Something empty's within 'em" Many people who struggle with depression put on a brave face, but they feel empty inside with a battle that rages within - one that no one can see. "We say Yeah! With fists flying up in the air Like we're holding onto something That's invisible there, 'Cause we're living at the mercy of The pain and the fear" Fighting depression is hard and scary and they are holding on to anything they can - even that which no one else can see. "Waiting for the end to come Wishing I had strength to stand This is not what I had planned It's out of my control Flying at the speed of light Thoughts we're spinning in my head So many things were left unsaid It's hard to let you go" These verses make me think of someone with depression who has given up the fight. They don't have the strength to fight on. "(Oh) I know what it takes to move on, I know how it feels to lie, All I wanna do Is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got Sitting in an empty room Trying to forget the past This was never meant to last, I wish it wasn't so" Those with depression lie often about how they are doing. They are trying to hold on but feel like they don't have anything to hold on to, or they don't have anything to hold on to, but they are trying to hold on. "Yeah, yeah What was left when that fire was gone? I thought it felt right but that right was wrong All caught up in the eye of the storm And trying to figure out what it's like moving on And I don't even know what kind of things I've said My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead So, picking up the pieces, now where to begin? The hardest part of ending is starting again!" With depression, the fire is gone and you feel like you are in the eye of the storm. Depression is a liar though. Things can get better, but you do have to start again. |

| I agree. I lost my niece to suicide, and this song explains the depression, the battle, and the loss. | |
