"Made Of Steel" as written by Michael Maida, Jeremy Taggart and Duncan Coutts....
I can be anything
That you want me to be
A punching bag
A piece of string, no
That reminds you not to think
They found the note down in your car
It's not your fault it gets this hard
Gets this hard
[Chorus]
Hold your head high
Don't look down
I'm by your side
I won't back down
You wanted a hero tonight
Well I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of steel
But your secret's safe with me
I can be anything
That you want me to be
A holy cross
Some sympathy, no
That reminds you how to bleed
They found the note down in your car
You climbed up here to fall apart
Fall apart
[Chorus]
No, your secret's safe with me
They knock you down
I'll pick you up
They laugh at you
I'll shut them up
But I'm not made of steel [Repeat x4]
But your secret's safe with me
Yeah, your secret's safe with me
Yeah
Hold your head high
Don't look down
I'm by your side
I won't back down
You wanted a hero tonight
That you want me to be
A punching bag
A piece of string, no
That reminds you not to think
They found the note down in your car
It's not your fault it gets this hard
Gets this hard
[Chorus]
Hold your head high
Don't look down
I'm by your side
I won't back down
You wanted a hero tonight
Well I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of steel
But your secret's safe with me
I can be anything
That you want me to be
A holy cross
Some sympathy, no
That reminds you how to bleed
They found the note down in your car
You climbed up here to fall apart
Fall apart
[Chorus]
No, your secret's safe with me
They knock you down
I'll pick you up
They laugh at you
I'll shut them up
But I'm not made of steel [Repeat x4]
But your secret's safe with me
Yeah, your secret's safe with me
Yeah
Hold your head high
Don't look down
I'm by your side
I won't back down
You wanted a hero tonight

"I found the note down in your car"
"And its not your fault it gets this hard"
he repeats that line many times during the song. Now look at these lyrics
I found the note down in your car - "I found the suicidie note in your car"
And you climbed up here to fall apart - "She is on the ledge of a building and is about to jump"
Fall apart
Hold your head high - "look up at the sky"
Don’t look down -"instead of the ground"
I’m by your side - "he is on the ledge with her"
Won’t back down - "and he won't back down until she does"
You wanted a hero tonight - "she wanted a hero but got him"
Well I’m not made of steel - "he is not a hero"
I’m not made of steel
But your secrets safe with me - "but he won't tell them why she was about to kill herself, so it makes you the reason she wants to die is unspeakably traumatic"
No...
Your secrets safe with me - "he won't tell anyone"
They knock you down - "the reports will crowd around her knocking her down"
I’ll pick you up... - "he will go without saying"
They laugh at you - "the people watching might laugh at her...."
I’ll shut them up - "but he will shut them up."
That is what i think, i think he found this girl's suicidie note and is trying to be there for her when she is on the ledge of a building getting ready to jump and he is just talking her down and saying that it will be ok and he will protect her anyway he can, but he is no hero he can't save her from herself.... What do you.... Become a member and reply, i would love to hear some more takes on this song, or just some critcal thoughts on my own judgement of the songs.
"a piece of string
That reminds you not to think"
cause people tie strings around their finger to "think" and remember something...but he's using it so it reminds them not to think.
Going along with the suiside thing, I think it's saying that she's not taking the time to think about how important life really is, and the only conclusion she thinks there is, is one that's just on the top of her head: suicide.
well plz comment on this and if you think its right or not
A punching bag, a piece of string" - pretty much says it all. I'm not made of steel but i'm here for you through the good AND the bad times. this is my fav song on gravity b.c. it brings hope to you that there's that one person out there, that is there for you no matter what.
