Feeling Small

I'm a recovering bulimic, so I completely love and understand the song, so Ima go all pro on you and yeah.

This one's of you taking your pill Sometimes forget and that's okay I guess [Trying to get better, but can't] This one's of me at my sisters wedding day [I think it's that he was at his sisters wedding, and threw up afterwards or during. Everyone was so happy, and all he could think of was getting the food out of him]

All the spaces They all were wasted

You're barely breathing I know [You're getting sicker] What if it's starting to show [People could find out. You don't want that] And I know it won't ever change but it hurts the same [You know you won't stop, and that hurts]

This one's of me throwing up for you [literally throwing up] And I'm paler still, but that's the way you wanted it [When you lose a lot of weight, you get pale] This one's of you Certain of cancer [It's a disease]

In all the spaces They all were wasted on feeling small [You only care about being small] You're barely breathing, I know What now it's starting to show [Explained before] And I know it won't ever change, but it hurts the same

A fever broke somewhere behind July [Sometime during a July, he got the sickest yet] And remember how I weighed 135 [His lowest weight] and we collide...

All the spaces It all got wasted on feeling small You're barely breathing, I know And now it's starting to show And I know it won't ever change, but it hurst the same

This one's of me losing my weight I'm feeling afraid [I cry every time I hear this. He's loseing more weight, and being even more scared that things could end badly]

My second favourite song behind Skin and Bones. They saved me from my bulimia.

I forgot to add this, but if you couldn't tell, i believe he's looking at pictures while "singing" this..

what it's REALLY about is the lead singer, josh ramsay, he wrote this song and in high school he did heroine and so it's about him losing his weight and stuff. same with feeling small and vertigo and alive again is about him recovering.

To me, I think the lead singe Josh is talking about when he had bulimia. The line "this ones of me throwing up for you" could be referring to why he was bulimic, ( I read this book once and it said when you have an eating disorder it usually means something else is going on in your life). So, in my opinion, I think this song is about how Josh had a friend or family member who had to go through cancer and he dealt with it through his eating habits.

Correction in the lyrics: It's 'All my faces' not 'All the spaces'. At least, that's the case in the version I have.

i think i may have an idea of what this song is about, but one part screws me to another side. :/

i first thought that maybe it was about bulimia because of well, skin & bones - first of all, is about this too. but anyway, main reason was because it says "this ones of me throwing up for you", & "this one's of me losing my weight"... that's mainly why. but ina part it says "this ones of you, certain of cancer" so i don't get that part. but i do believe it's about a type of eating disorder, most likely, bulimia.

you're right, it is about bulima. I have an eating disorder as well as Josh (lead singer), and I find it easy to pick out what he's saying.. or at least what it means to me. I believe that inthis song, Josh is referring to himself. Having an eating disorder makes you feel like a different person and I think this is what he's referring to. You feel like one person whne you're going about your day and you feel like a complete other person while you obsessing about food, weight, or your body.

This one's of you taking your pill

• referring to himself being casual or maybe him before his eating disorder Sometimes forget and that's okay I guess
• forgetting about who he was or is without this disease This one's of me at my sisters wedding day
• him having the eating disorder.. possibly thinner, especially at weddings where everyone's together eating.. its terrible pressure

All My faces They were wasted

• When you have a problem like this, you don't want people to know. you hide behind a mask everyday. There's nothing more shameful then feeling like you're sick from food and obsession. Sometimes you succeed, and other people never ifnd out, but you can't hide from yourself.

This one's of me throwing up for you

• him speaking from the bulima point of view. He's throwing up for himself. And I'm paler still, but that's the way you wanted it
• still from the bulima point of view. paler from the sickness. "thats the way you wanted it" coming from the fact that ppl with Ed's (depending upon what they are).. want to do it or want to have it.. but they dont at the same time.. no one wants an eating disorder.. but its the feeling of obligation to be a certain way or to deal with obsessivness (probably makes no sense to some.. but theres no way for me to put it) This one's of you Certain of cancer
• cancer = disease = bulima?

All my faces They all were wasted on feeling small

• can be taken literally or metaphorically. Literally as in, all the masks he wore to try to hide what he was doing and who he was on being skinny..from having bulima, or.. metaphorically... feeling small as feeling like crap You're barely breathing, I know
• who he was is barely alive now What now it's starting to show
• how sick he is, And I know it won't ever change, but it hurts the same
• when you have an eating disorder, itll never leave you. you may make a "recovery" but nothing recovers the pain and piece of you that was lost

A fever broke somewhere behind July

• not completely sure about what he's referring to, unless its literally talking about a symptom of having bulima And remember how I weighed 135
• self explanitory and we collide...

This one's of me losing my weight I'm feeling afraid -also self explanitory

this song is very touching and personal. i can relate to it well as im sure many others can. It's nice to see a guy who admits a problem like this.. reminds us that girls aren't just the only ones who suffer from eating disorders.

this song is also touching.. just like skin and bones. it is nice to hear that guys hav eating disorders as well as girls:P its a really good song

SOMEONE POST THE LYRICS TO THEIR NEW SONG "FIX ME" WHICH IS NOW AVAILABLE ON ITUNES FOR $.99!

This song including many other Marianas Trench songs are written about Josh's addiction to heroin. "This one's of me, losing my weight" Although it may have something to do with bulimia. I wouldn't know unless I asked Josh myself. But the whole album has a sentimental meaning to Josh considering he wrote all the songs with the exception of Push; which he co-wrote with Steve Marshall.
