its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort.
Suffocation, no breathing.
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding.
This is my last resort.
Cut my life into pieces.
I've reached my last resort – Suffocation, no breathing.
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arms bleeding.
Do you even care if I die bleeding?
Would it be wrong, would it be right if I took my life tonight?
Chances are that I might.
Mutilation out of sight and I'm contemplating suicide.
Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind.
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine.
Losing my sight, losing my mind.
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine.
I never realized I was spread too thin,
Til it was too late and I was empty within.
Hungry, feeding on chaos and living in sin.
Downward spiral, where do I begin?
It all started when I lost my mother.
No love for myself and no love for another.
Searching to find a love upon a higher level,
Finding nothing but questions and devils.
Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind.
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine.
Losing my sight, losing my mind.
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine.
Nothing's alright. Nothing is fine.
I'm running and I'm crying.
I'm crying, I'm crying.
I'm crying, I'm crying.
I can't go on living this way.
Cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort.
Suffocation, no breathing.
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding.
Would it be wrong, would it be right if I took my life tonight?
Chances are that I might.
Mutilation out of sight and I'm contemplating suicide.
Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind.
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine.
Losing my sight, losing my mind.
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine.
Nothing's alright. Nothing is fine.
I'm running and I'm crying.
I can't go on living this way.
Can't go on living this way.
Nothing's alright.
Suffocation, no breathing.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Anybody would be sad if they lost their mother, especially those people who were kids when their mothers died. It doesn't matter what you are doing with your life, if you lose your mother, you will be sad.
These types of songs SAVE people from suicide. They help kids learn that they are not alone, and that makes them feel a lot better. People who DON'T listen to these types of songs are more likely to commit suicide, which you hopefully have by now, fastfingerz.
