Tell me how to feel
Show me what is real
I tried to back away but every where’s the same and in this over conscious world all I want to do is dream
I don’t know what you held onto to get this far, but I need some too
Because I’m slipping from existence and there’s just no resistance to stop this all from happening
Today the pain, it got so bad, I had to scream
I’m cutting myself because I cannot face the world around me, that’s nothing
I’m cutting myself because there’s no way out
Dispersing what I feel so I feel nothing
I don’t know what to do to be as numb as you
I must be doing something wrong to always feel this down
With an overwhelming urge to shut out those around
I tried to reach out to the past
The lesson learned is to not look back
The memories will just confuse an overwhelmed and frightened youth
I’ve learned to accept it
I know that that’s pathetic
I can’t explain to others
I know that they’ll reject it

Pretty straightforward meaning but still comment-worthy. "The memories will just confuse an overwhelmed and frightened youth" is a very interesting line...
I agree, this line is very interesting. I have a feeling she means the "memories" are the ones that she had when she was a young child. They are so horrible when they come back to her that she feels like her child self, overwhelmed, frightened, and confused. Which is why she's cutting the painful mermories away.

In an interview she said the song is looking back at how she felt when she was a self-harming teenager. She no longer self-harms. :)
