God, I love American Nightmare. This song is amazing. I feel, and this is strictly my opinion, that this song says:
This person feels as though every relationship in which they have loved someone ended up hurting them. The things they dreamed of having are things that they feel have been discarded by their past lovers like worthless trash. They pray for release from memories of everything that went wrong. There is someone who they wish they could love, being afraid to even try again due to the fact that they have been hurt so much, but this person, for certain reasons, does not know how much he/she is loved. They have escaped to the city to be free of memories, but find that the city causes them more pain because they are reminded of how alone they are. They feel like all the people in the city are dead. . .at a loss with feeling. . .and they write this with contention and the feeling that they, themselves are dying on the inside. They try to explain, but their heart is weary, and tired of trying to make their love understand what exactly they are feeling, and if their loved one doesn't realize how they feel soon, that their days of trying to explain will be over soon.
