Open

I think it's about her parents when they used to fight, and how she doesn't really like her dad:

Spitting fire back and forth now Times have changed in just a few months Neighbors complaining from the fights And why can't things be the same

(Her parents are fighting, and it's really loud, and she just wants things to be the same.)

And maybe I'm just a little bit cautious Of what I'm gonna say When I tell you I can't live this way But I don't know what to expect From someone who's so insane

(She doesn't wanna tell her parents that she can't take it so she just keeps quiet)

Why can't I get through the night Without another fight? I'm tired of the hurting Is it really worth it? Am I all alone again? 'Cause I am kind of feeling Like I'm screaming with my mouth shut When it's really open

(She always hears her parents fighting and she's tired and feels like she's all alone, and she feels like when she says something, no one can hear her)

The only noises in my head Are consumed of your voice From all the pain and hatred How long can you kick somebody down Before a foot breaks?

(All she hears is her parents, and she's saying how long can her dad bully her mom before "a foot breaks)

Why can't I get through the night Without another fight? I'm tired of the hurting Is it really worth it? Am I all alone again? 'Cause I am kind of feeling Like I'm screaming with my mouth shut When it's really open

(Same)

And I knew that you would fabricate This situation just for the sake of Your need for attention And I'm sick of always being the one To always break down Always melt down in the end And maybe this time It's a sign that independence and I Are finally catching on I don't need you to rely on

(Her dad makes up situations to make him seem like that bad guy, and she's sick of it and being the only one to break down.)

Why can't I get through the night Without another fight? I'm tired of the hurting Is it really worth it? Am I all alone again? 'Cause I am kind of feeling Like I'm screaming with my mouth shut When it's really open

Spitting fire back and forth now Times have changed in just a few months

aren't her parents divorced? that could be what this is about

This is my favorite song of hers.

I see it as a song about an unheaelthy relationship. Basically, she's the one who is being kicked around- the one who keeps getting knocked down, and she's sick of it.

I initially thought it was about child abuse at first, and it makes a lot of sense that that's what it could be.

"Spitting fire back and forth now Times have changed in just a few months"

Does that mean that she's done with the person?

This is pretty deep for a 15 year old. As much as I'd like to think she's this lyrically talented, I hope it's not autobiographic.

Does she write her own songs?

Such a shame this will most likely not be on the record.

I hope it's not autobiographical either, but if it is, hopefully it's exaggerated. These are amazing lyrics and I think she does write her own lyrics. She could have just written the song to write a song. That's what I do.

It would be cool if it was on her album, but if Disney is the one producing it, then it probably won't be. I really hope that she breaks the Disney mold. There are some really cool Disney songs, but the majority of it is the same kind of songs with the same meaning.

It was really cool when I was pretty much the only one who listened to her music, but hopefully now that she's big, more people will put their input on the song.

aren't her parents divorced? that could be what this is about

Oh, I never thought about it that way. It makes a lot of sense for it to be about that. Good interpretation.

=)

I love this song so much!

I can relate to the song in almost every line!

This song is so deep! The first time I heard it, I thought it was about a parental divorce; that's what it sounds like. When I look at it another way though, it kind of makes me think of social issues like bullying or something. Demi herself said she was bullied pretty badly in school to the point she had to be homeschooled. The things they did are somewhat reflected in this song. So... I don't know... this song sort of reminds me of that. Maybe it was partially inspired by that?
