The Diary

I'm sure plenty of people can take this song and make it mean many, many things. But I like this song, and I really feel for it. It's like they understand what most people are actually going through.. To an extent. (obviously not exactly..but eh..anyways)

So, he ran away from his problems.. Maybe not literally, they talk about drugs and alcohol, so maybe he abused to get away from everything.

"I can't think of a reason To get the fuck out of bed Curtains closed, lights are off Am I alive or dead? I haven't shaved in a week I always slur when I speak"

Obviously, feeling like there is no real meaning for anything. No hope.

"I guess I need love Hoes ya see, Hoes ya see I'm just in a rut And I swear I'm tryin' baby please Baby don't leave God-damn I'm a fuck-up But I guess that's just me"

So, he might be with this girl who cares about him. And he declares to be a fuck-up, but he's the only one who even believes it. Ironically, he feels like noone really cares, but at least someone, if not a bigger group of people care and don't think he's a fuckup, maybe making a bad choice.

"So I sit in my room And I'll cry in my bed Thinkin' about all the shit That made me wrong in my head I keep tryin to climb But it seems so steep Pour myself a fuckin' whisky And go back to sleep, bitch"

Obviously, he's depressed. And can't help what is runnning through is mind, but he's trying to make himself better..But gives up in the end, and goes back to getting drunk.

"I watch my momma cry She says 'baby why?' I say 'baby died, Baby's gone like a suicide'"

His mom is just asking why he's doing all these horrible things to himself, and he says basically..He isn't himself, his old self "good self" (if you wanna say) is dead.

"I pour this out for you Like a partner in crime It's part of the times When you're sick in the mind"

I feel like..This part is more of a shout out, to everyone who is listening. If they are feeling similar, worse or better. He's spilling his heart for them so they know, they are not alone in their feelings.

"And I wanna go back to the start Back where we started from And I know it's been so long I was wrong, I was wrong I was wrong all along"

Personally, one of the my favorite verses.. Because I feel for it.. so i'll put myself in this interpretation. I want everything to be back when everything was good..I've been wronging everyone, myself included. He (and I) just want everything to be..back to when life was good..And it was worth waking up..

That was my interpretation of this song. Kind of a comparison to what I've been feeling for since I was 8 years old.

This is my favorite HU song. period.

this song is basicaly my life story, cahnge a few names, switch mom with Aunt, and dad with Uncle. Danny, Sasha and Jordan change those names to Daniel, Sara, and raymond. I mean me aunt and uncle kicked me out on my 18th b-day because i had emotional, and mental isues and ne3ver talked to me since. and when i lived with them there was so much hatred and resent the song is ironicly the perfect match, my Gf left me, my friends abondoned me, i became an alcoholic, and a realy depressed SOB. and i wish me grandma had not died when i was 10 because i fhad went throw 10 years of hell after that, so i realy do wish i could go back and stop her from dying because i am tired of this life and all i ever realy want is to go to a home whre i belong and is loved at.

ifeel like if it understands me and i cried when i firsted heard it it made me feel like i wanted 2 die but i just wrote in my DIARY how i felt and what would happen if i did die or end up in a mental hospital my point is its a beautiful

it's really amazing

i've actually sang this to my parents before we fixed everything between us.

i love this song.

lol. who wouldn't love this song?

This song is amazing. It's one of my faves from HU.

HU confuses me. They've been talking about loving the life and that they're for real since they first started... Then along comes The Diary. Assuming this song is autobiographical, this song makes the life sound like a big miserable lie that the don't want to participate in anymore... Mixed messages. Still very powerful, I just wish they would get the message straight.

Seriously allenbomber?

Sounds like a run of the mill song about teenage years. I imagine alot of HU fans would like this song since they're living this life. I know my high school years were like this sans the alcohol and drugs.

I sense a hint of sarcasm throughout it though. Like they aren't quite taking it seriously.

I think you're right the butcheress. H.U. love the life, but how are thier fans? They just want to write a song, that teens can relate to. Not only that, but they want to show them how ridiciouls kids look in their puddle of selfpity, how they feel lthey cannot change theirself. I's easier than it seems.

Very sad song... I can relate to it.

Well... I think everyone of us had these "moments" ...
