Are You Sad? Lyrics

Your life has been so hard,
It's dried up angels that can't keep guard,
I'm trying to reach your hand but,
I'm on fire I never meant to fade, away,
Wait, for me.

Oh just stop pretending,
When they say you're nothing.

Are you sad, are you holding yourself,
Are you locked in your room?
You shouldn't be (repeat)

I'm drowning inside your head,
Help me to answer, help understand,
Why it's been so long,
Since we talked like friends, oh
Please, forgive me, I'm just a man
Whose made, mistakes,
Wait, for me.

Oh just stop pretending,
When they say you're nothing.

Are you sad, are you holding yourself,
Are you locked in your room?
You shouldn't be (x4)

Are you sad, are you holding yourself?
You shouldnt be...

All of OLP's songs have positives meanings...basically it is saying don't be sad, it sounds like a downer type song, but then it comes back with saying "you shouldn't be"...Raine Maida said it's just for positive meaning...he told me that when i met him

You can hear the sadness and sympathy in Raine's voice for the person he is singing to/about, but this song never lifts my spirits. Even though he says someone shouldn't be sad, that doesn't mean they won't be.

This song totally reminds me of a guy i know and love so the first time i heard it i felt really sad. Raine writes the best songs.:angel:

Cover art for Are You Sad? lyrics by Our Lady Peace

this song means so much to me. when i first started listening to our lady peace i wasnt too happy with myself or my life or anything and at times i was really depressed and yes of course im gonna say that this song helped me get through that but it really really did. id would lock myself inmy room and lay in my bed and cry and play this song on repeat all night. "are you sad?" yes, "are you holding yourself"- yes "you shouldn't be" "stop pretending when they say your nothing" - thats what really helped me that one line. the song just gives me the feeling that someone does care and that they r helping me if not so noticable but they are. well yeah this may sound cheesey but i swear to my life its true.

i got this cd a lil while after i went thru a deep depression. the first time i heard 'life' it made me cry, but the first time i heard this song it made me remember all the pain i went thru. i was locking myself in my room, and keeping to myself, i couldn't beileve how much i could relate to this song. i love it and hate it at the same time, and it sums up everything i was feeling in a few lines. thank you olp. ¤music can help¤ :)
