The first bit of the song sounds like someone is sleeping rough or in like a hostel or something 'A bug on your face/It crawled in your mouth/And gave you a taste of/The good life you left behind' That they used to be quite well off. The middle of the song talks about how the person is umemployed and living in poverty 'This nagging malaise/Is more than a phase/It feels like a job/But no boss ever pays you to lay there'. The chorus is continuosly saying not to give up because their is someone who cares 'Somebody loves you/And you're gonna make it through'. At the end I believe that the person involved is going to commit suicide but the writer is telling them not to because of that ,'somebody loves you', 'You've got to be sure/When you turn out that light/That it's going to turn on again' The writer is saying make sure you don't because this person loves you.
