You Owe Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't really say this that often
But there's somethin' that the papers forgot
Every time I read them, I know I feed them
But I know, they're painting, but they can't leave a mark
'Cause my friends don't read the papers
And they don't really care if we're awesome or not
So every time I read them, I know I feed them
But I know, they wanna see me hang on the wall
[Chorus]
You don't know me
Don't you think that I get lonely?
It gets dark inside my head
Check my pulse, and if I'm dead, you owe me
If you're lonely
Don't you think you're on your own?
When it gets dark inside your head
Check my pulse, and if I'm there, you owe me
[Verse 2]
Say it to my face if you mean it
Say it to my face, but you won't
I know I'm not losin'
But I'm losin' my mind
Does anybody know what that's like?
[Chorus]
You don't know me
Don't you think that I get lonely?
It gets dark inside my head
Check my pulse, and if I'm dead, you owe me
If you're lonely
Don't you think you're on your own?
When it gets dark inside your head
Check my pulse, and if I'm there, you owe me
[Bridge]
If I'm there, you owe me
If I'm there, you owe me
You owe me, you owe me
You owe me, you owe me
If I'm there, you owe me
[Drop]
If I'm there, you owe me
(If I'm dead, if I'm dead, If I'm dead, you owe me)
[Outro]
You don't know me
Don't you think that I get lonely?
It gets dark inside my head
Check my pulse and if I'm dead, you owe me
If you're lonely
Don't you think you're on your own?
When it gets dark inside your head
Check my pulse, and if I'm there, you owe me
I don't really say this that often
But there's somethin' that the papers forgot
Every time I read them, I know I feed them
But I know, they're painting, but they can't leave a mark
'Cause my friends don't read the papers
And they don't really care if we're awesome or not
So every time I read them, I know I feed them
But I know, they wanna see me hang on the wall
You don't know me
Don't you think that I get lonely?
It gets dark inside my head
Check my pulse, and if I'm dead, you owe me
If you're lonely
Don't you think you're on your own?
When it gets dark inside your head
Check my pulse, and if I'm there, you owe me
Say it to my face if you mean it
Say it to my face, but you won't
I know I'm not losin'
But I'm losin' my mind
Does anybody know what that's like?
You don't know me
Don't you think that I get lonely?
It gets dark inside my head
Check my pulse, and if I'm dead, you owe me
If you're lonely
Don't you think you're on your own?
When it gets dark inside your head
Check my pulse, and if I'm there, you owe me
If I'm there, you owe me
If I'm there, you owe me
You owe me, you owe me
You owe me, you owe me
If I'm there, you owe me
If I'm there, you owe me
(If I'm dead, if I'm dead, If I'm dead, you owe me)
You don't know me
Don't you think that I get lonely?
It gets dark inside my head
Check my pulse and if I'm dead, you owe me
If you're lonely
Don't you think you're on your own?
When it gets dark inside your head
Check my pulse, and if I'm there, you owe me

The meaning is three fold, fuller explanations below but; depressed person wants to die, media doesn't help in any way, shape, or form, if you also want to die, you aren't alone in this.
He's depressed, he want's to die. I you take his poison and he's dead than a) you owe him for your own release, because it obviously works, b) you are a reporter, and owe him for the article, or possibly c) you helped feed his depression. When he reads the papers he feeds both his insecurities therefore also his depression, and also causing erratic behaviour (from himself) which feeds more articles and insecurity. Which makes him decide to read the papers to see if there are articles about him, and if so what they say. If there are none, he means nothing and should die, if they say mean things, he should die, if they say good things, they don't really see him and he should just die. There is no winning. BUT! If you feel like that, you are definitely not alone; he feels like that too. And you know, the people who care? They don't care about what the papers say. Basically.
