To me, this isn't just about being betrayed, that's much to shallow a thought for such a strong song. This song means so much more. To me, it describes a beaten child, a child who lived through a household that did nothing but beat and hurt them, the video only supports this, seeing as it stars a young child who looks sickly, and a bit scared at the beggining. To me, it seems that the fighting is a metaphor, he's trying to fight for his life and get out of the house, I'll explain with the lyrics. ^^
"I don't know who to trust
no surprise."
Most children can trust their parents, love their parents and such. This child isn't sure whether ot not he can. He's hurt by them, but he still loves them.
"Everyone feels so far away from me"
He has no friends, no caring family, he's just alone, therefore, everyone is "far away".
"Heavy thoughts sift through dust
and the lies"
His parents probally told him they loved him either in public or when sober. And then when home or drunk, they hurt the child.
"Trying not to break"
Whenabused, you really think the world is going to shatter, you really do.
"...but i'm so tired if the deceit"
He's trying to keep it together, but this is a lot to take on for a youg child.
"every time i try to make myself
get back up on my feet"
Everytime he gets back up, he's only pushed back down. He knows its not fair.
"all i ever think about is this
all the tiring time between
and how
I try to put my trust in you
just takes so much out of me"
He trusts his amily only to be hurt, it takes alot on his mind, and his body. He can barely stand it.
"Take everything from the inside
and throw it all away"
All the happiness he's ever seen is gone when his family hurts him, he thinks they don't care.
"'cause I swear/for the last time
i won't trust myself with you"
He;s finally given up hope on his family.
"I won't trust myself with you"
He's decided he's going to tell someone about his situation, he's going to get help.
"I won't waste myself on you
Waste myself on you
YOU"
He's not going to let the rest of his life get ruined.
