Afraid This Time

Wow, no ones commented on this song yet! This is one of the most touching songs from celldweller and no ones commented on it. ANYWAY

Probobly about his being cold and distant to his gf/wife/ whatever. and he's battling something in his own mind, and is saying that he doesnt care. So he puts up his Defensive "Walls" Expecting her to stay, but hes afraid shell leave

yeah this is an awesome song. if i'd known about this site i certainly would've commented sooner. I think you're right about how he's battling something in his own mind... I wonder if the conflict is based on trust. maybe his walls come from being violated in the past and now it is preventing him from being close to his girlfriend. yeah, he's afraid. probably afraid of trust.

"this isn't easy to admit, but im afraid."

that is SO cuteee !

I've always thought that this song was about mental walls. When you've got walls, all you want to do is break them down, but you're afraid to because it's all you've ever known. You can keep whoever you want out if you've got them - no one can hurt you because you don't allow anything good or bad into your life.

Yeah, this is definitely about mental walls. He keeps referring to 'build them up' and such, obviously meaning the walls, to keep out the pain, the love, and frankly all emotions. He's basically saying that he's secluded and iscolated himself, so he doesn't have to be exposed to anything, and you can't show him love, hate, pain, etc. - he won't be aware of it.

I love this song. Klayton needs more exposure though! He's a great artist.

It is about metal walls and being afraid to cross them.. and Klayton sings this perfectly.

For whatever reason he is building mental walls. Distancing himself from everything and everyone. No emotion gets through. When we get to"this isn't easy to admit, but i don't think I'm believeing it i'm afraid this time..." I believe someone got to him, and he's stopped being distant and is afraid to do so.

But that's just my opinion. That's my first comment here so let me know what you think of my opinion.

this song really hits home for me, i always want to cry whenever i listen to it.

I imagine this song being about a bully or abuser.

I love this song to death, this has got to be my favorite song that he has done (besides symbiont). I cried so hard to this song. I know this is about mental walls as everyone else has said. But it also strikes me as the song about going through hardships in a relationship. Or a new relationship.

"This isn't easy to admit, But I don't think i'm believing it, i'm afraid this time. "

He cannot figure out why he is afraid of going into a relationship.

Or, He is afraid to admit, he is terrified of being alone.

"Even if you want, you can't touch me now, leave me if you want, you can't hurt me now..."

That strikes me as he is being left in a relationship, and he doesn't know what to do.

Klayton, we've all been there somewhere down the road.
