They Can't Save Us Now Lyrics
so this is how it feels to be alone
your heart feels like it's cracked and made of stone
but whenever someone asks
say there's nothing wrong
they can't save us now
'cause we're far away from home
and there's no where else to go
they can't save us now
'cause we're lost and won't be found
we can scream so loud
but they can't save us now
so this is how it feels to be insane
the world looks like a movie always playin'
so how can hearts so young feel so much pain?
now take me with you
they can't save us now
'cause we're far away from home
and there's no where else to go
they can't save us now
will they ever understand that we don't want to be like them?
your heart feels like it's cracked and made of stone

they can't save us now

we can scream so loud
but they can't save us now
the world looks like a movie always playin'
so how can hearts so young feel so much pain?
now take me with you
'cause we're far away from home
and there's no where else to go
they can't save us now
will they ever understand that we don't want to be like them?

GREAT SONG!!! just heard this on q101's cage match last nite. even though they lost to the starting line, this song is great.
again, fatal love.
This song is much like Boys and Girlz...it's about burning heats that time cannot quench...wanting and needing someone even as your own life spirals downward into oblivion. And they can't save us, they can't save us, they can't save us now...
i agree partly with virex7, but somehow it feels like it's also about teenagers who rebel against their parents, because of the stupidity their parents possess. so these teenagers or whatever, run away from home..thus: "will they ever understand that we don't want to be like them?" and "'cause we're far away from home". great song.
I think it is about mental illness. Such as depression and schizophrenia. You feel isolated all the time. And sometimes you think that you are so far down that there's nothing anyone can do to reverse it.
I don't think this song is quite so literal (like running away) nor do I believe that it's necessarily about love. I actually agree with Worldsablur. I think this song is about someone who's lost themselves be it to depression or the result of some tragedy. And he keeps putting on a face, acting like nothing is wrong, for the sake of those around him because he believes that no one can fill that void within.
It's kinda like he's a bystander to everyone else. He's watching the world go by indifferently because, without whatever it is he's missing (be it a lover, friend or family member) he doesn't feel like he belongs in the world. To me it seems like this person is wishing that whoever left had taken him along - 'now take me with you'
'So how can hearts so young feel so much pain' - To me could be others who don't understand what he's going through. They question him and wonder why he's acting the way he is.
'Will they ever understand that we don't want to be like them?' - Could mean that he will never let go of this one missing person like so many other people do. All these people are telling him to just move on, to give it up, be he refuses because he isn't willing to let it go that easily.
All the other meanings fit really well, too. -^ o^-
