Why Can't You Be Nicer To Me? Lyrics

somebody's screaming
looking at the ceiling
everything's so funny
i don't have any money
people don't even know me
but they know how to show me

why can't you be nicer to me?

my pride is dying
i think i'm all done lying
nobody's sharing
so i stop caring
all alone and walking
nobody's talking

why can't you be nicer to me?

well the wind is blowing
where am i going
off a bridge and falling
nobody's calling
on the ground and laying
nobody's praying

why can't you be nicer to me?

"off a bridge and falling nobody's calling on the ground and laying nobody's praying"

these lines explain that

christ people, it's not about being nicer to your fellow man. "people don't even know me, but they know how to show me" isn't empathy; it's bitter and dejected. He's lonely and wants to die, and wants everyone to know he's unhappy. It's probably about a girl.

I thought it was about suicide as well. its pretty bouncy melody-wise, but there's something really dark about it

i never realized it but yea. people don't even know me but they know how to show me

no one understands him

all alone and walking nobody's talking

well the wind is blowing where am i going

he's running away

off a bridge and falling nobody's calling on the ground and laying nobody's praying

so he jumps off a bridge and still no one cares about him

the last verse is the only suicidal one, and I think the line "well the wind is blowing, where am I going?" refers to the lifelong question about whether you go to hell or heaven when you commit suicide.
