Long Day

I wonder why there are no other comments for this song, I totally love it. It has alot of meaning to me. What I feel the song is about is probably not what it really is about but I can relate to it. I believe the song is about somsone who maybe very depressed, have some problems, and just about everyone has giving up on them cause they can't take all the shit this person has. But the person has one person that understands them and takes all their crap, and tries to help them. I really don't know all I know is on most days I feel like these lyrics. "And I'm so Terrified of no one else but me I'm here all the time I won't go away It's me, yeah I can't get myself to go away" So true, it's a love hate relationship with yourself, and until you can want to be round yourself nobody else is going to wanna be around you.

For me this song means that you can't escape from yourself. The line "It's me, and I can't get my self to go away/ Oh God I shouldn't feel this way" is him saying that all he wants is to not be himself, if only just for a while. "Reach, she said for no one else but you" is saying that you can only count on yourself. And even though he wants her to reach into her pocket and pull out hope he knows that he has to deal with the situation on his own and rely on himself.

That's all I got.

its about being yourself with a person who cares about you and is willing to put up with you. but you know that its not fair for the person to feel with you so you feel like crap.

This was my theme back in ninth grade - when the song came out.

It always spoke to me about being messed up, depressed, aware of it but unable to find the tools to fix it. About the person or people who normally help you cope are finally having enough, and pulling away, and how much that hurts, even though you understand why. But also, how annoying and frustrating those people are too, always saying things along the lines of (though not always as banal) "cheer up" or "it'll get better" "it's not that bad, could be worse," WHen you're in that situation, that emotional headspace, those sentiments get annoying, if cheering up is that easy, how bout you just "reach down your hand in your pocket, pull out some hope for me?"

Reach down you hand in your pocket? Pull out some hope for me? Its been a long day....blatently he's masturbating.

This is definitely a song that has been played over and over and over again in my iTunes and, much like everyone else, I can relate. "I'm sorry 'bout the attitude I need to give when I'm with you" is definitely with that person that keeps giving you shit/you keep giving them shit and for some reason you're both still there, hanging on and not leaving the other person and they're the only that you've got in that sense. "And I'm so terrified of no one else but me..." reminds me of how you always tell yourself that you're not going to make a big deal this time and you're not going to do this or say that but you find yourself doing or saying just that and you're terrified of how you can't change that. Great song, great band!

For me this song has a different meaning. Growing up gay it had a special place for me because it seamed to describe exactly how I was feeling. "I'm so terrified of no one else but me, but I'm here all the time, and I won't go away" Describing how it feels to be scared about your sexuality being different from everyone else. "it's me, and I can't get myself to go away oh god I shouldn't feel this way" How much you want it to change but it won't and how you hope that people will still see you as you not just as gay. "well I'm surprised that you believe in anything that comes from me I didn't hear it from you or from someone else" How people can talk behind your back. I'm sure this is not how rob meant it when he wrote it but that's just how I feel

It's about that person who you know you can always talk to when you feel like the world is falling apart.

"I'm sorry about the attitude I need to give when I'm with you, but no one else will take this shit from me."

If you don't have a friend like this you really need to get one.

one word: passion

I'm sorry 'bout the attitude I need to give when I'm with you But no one else would take this shit from me
