The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support.
"Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
As these embers move so close to me
and closer to my skin and setting me in flames
As these embers plague my lungs
stealing breathes from me
and turning my lungs black and blue
Now the echo it cuts through me like the pulse
of your beating heart the day you found out
Now the echo it cuts through me like the stare
upon your face the day you found out
And all I ever wanted
was to break these two lungs in
Gotta get them use to breathing
Gotta get them use to bleeding
Gotta get my neck use to your cold hands
Now the echo it cuts through me like the pulse
of your beating heart the day you found out
Now the echo it cuts through me
Bright lights shining
the waves are breaking
Always doing something drastic
to keep you shaking
And then we start it all over
It's always the same
It's when we start it all over again
And all i ever wanted
was to break these two lungs in
Gotta get them use to breathing
Gotta get them use to bleeding
Gotta get my neck use to your cold hands
If I broke free tomorrow
would you be there to search for the moments lost?
If I could die tonight then I would
This wouldn't be at your loss
If I broke free tomorrow
would you be there to search for the moments lost?
If I could die tonight then I would
This wouldn't be at your loss
If I broke free tomorrow...
Because we've got the bright lights shining
the waves are breaking
Always doing something drastic
to keep you shaking
And then we start it all over
It's always the same
It's when we start it all over again
and closer to my skin and setting me in flames
As these embers plague my lungs
stealing breathes from me
and turning my lungs black and blue
Now the echo it cuts through me like the pulse
of your beating heart the day you found out
Now the echo it cuts through me like the stare
upon your face the day you found out
And all I ever wanted
was to break these two lungs in
Gotta get them use to breathing
Gotta get them use to bleeding
Gotta get my neck use to your cold hands
Now the echo it cuts through me like the pulse
of your beating heart the day you found out
Now the echo it cuts through me
Bright lights shining
the waves are breaking
Always doing something drastic
to keep you shaking
And then we start it all over
It's always the same
It's when we start it all over again
And all i ever wanted
was to break these two lungs in
Gotta get them use to breathing
Gotta get them use to bleeding
Gotta get my neck use to your cold hands
If I broke free tomorrow
would you be there to search for the moments lost?
If I could die tonight then I would
This wouldn't be at your loss
If I broke free tomorrow
would you be there to search for the moments lost?
If I could die tonight then I would
This wouldn't be at your loss
If I broke free tomorrow...
Because we've got the bright lights shining
the waves are breaking
Always doing something drastic
to keep you shaking
And then we start it all over
It's always the same
It's when we start it all over again
