Everything you say

this is a great song,,, and i really dont (truthfully) know what it means , but here it goes

im thinking its about his (Lauri's) relationship with his parents, when he dropped out of school, cus what i have read about him i dont think his parents cared for him verry much and when he dropped out that must have made them mad, so i figured that when people are mad at people they just seem to put people down. so yeah thats what i think, but dont take my word for it

and VIVA LA FINLAND

hmm i dunno about that, sounds possible though i guess... It seems as though it would be something like that, for example MY interpretation of it; for me; when i listen to it and sing it, I feel like I'm singing it to my mum...

you drive me close to the edgeeeeeeeeee!!! rocks! ;D

omg, cozsheep, me toooooooo! All the time!

I agree with you, AndLoveSaidNo446, it does sound like he is singing to his parents. I know it would be to my mom.

I love this song.

I think it might be about someone like a friend or an acquaintance that is jealous of him and does whatever they can to try to be like him. And when he makes a mistake that person jumps on it fast to make himself look better than him.

I don't know. I could be wrong, but that's just how I looked at the song.

I change my answer. It's not to his parents. I think it's about the media.

Tired of being seen as a bird in a cage (All celebrities aren't seen as what they are.) Tired of being heard all he did last week (The Media really likes picking on what the person did every hour of every day.) Obviously you want to be me ‘cause everytime when I fall you're the first to reveal me (Well, that's an obvious line.)

Live for yourself instead Do me a favour Feed your empty head You drive me close to the edge (Basically, stop picking on my life and everything I do, and live your life, not mine. Or, more simply, 'Go away!')

Everything you say, you say to annoy me Watching every move I make whenever I'm around (Well, that one's pretty obvious too.) Everything you do, you do it to destroy me (Destroy his career, his relationships, just by saying, 'Seen at a party, did some stupid stuff, and we have full coverage!') Waiting for the darkest hour to put me down (Making something out of nothing. He's in a bad mood, and they assume he's breaking up with someone, or they hear something he says and they say something entirely different. Making a mountain out of a molehill.)

Time is gradual, the surface is all you can see (Again, like the first line, they can't see ~him~, but only what's on the outside.) And if I told you the truth you will not understand me (Again, if he was in a bad mood and told them what happened, they'd be like, "OMG! SOMEONE DIED!")

So... yeah.
