Lonely As You

i love this song, i agree with you mxmattd.

Wake up You're dreaming I can't stand your screaming Drowning out these prayers Just some words without meaning

Spare all the preaching My secret's worth keeping No one understands like I do

Keep out of reach I'm your leading deletion Hide behind these masks Though they still see right through them

• I think this is song is about how you pretend everything is ok and you just ignore how you really feel so people won’t notice, you just get on with your life and push everything aside and hope no one notices that you’re unhappy and you don’t want to confide in anyone because they wont understand, they’ll try to tell you that they know what you’re going through etc but you know that they will never understand because only you can but secretly you wish you could give up the act and just let it all out.

but maybe not, im no good at this sort of stuff, but thats what it means to me.

beautiful song, but i have no idea what it's about.

i think this song is about hiding your feelings. (my secret's worth keeping, keep out of reach). He's desperately trying to get himself to open up and get things off his chest, but he can't bring himself to do it.

i like the way the song starts slowly and dreamily (its a word!) and the changes at the line "wake up, you're dreaming..." one of the best on the album

i agree with you blackk starr but it dosnt fit with this verse can u make sense of it?

Blame it on youth, all these years I've been losing Blame it on the past, it's the last place I knew you Blame all the children, their rage and ruin Blame it on the black and the blue

i imagine that verse explains what has scarred him and caused him problems, he had a bad youth and it is still having an affect on him?

great song best on the album, would have liked it even more if the guitar breaks at the end of the verses were slightly extended as they are some of the foos best. Love the slow, fast,slow,fast,fast style certainly in my top 5 foo songs of all time.

What would I do Lonely as you Pleasure or pain I can't choose

He's been left alone. He's bored. What to do?

• Pleasure = masturbation
• Pain = self-harm

Whether or not the rest of the song backs this up is unknown to me. I just heard the first verse and being a teenager that's the first thing that came to mind. =D

"One more time for the last time"...raises eyebrow "Every now and then, you're down and out my friend" - eyebrow raised higher!

"One more time for release"...raises eyebrow "Every now and then, you're down and out my friend" - eyebrow raised higher!
