^makes sense, but I like to think about it in a relationship sense. Well, I do now, but as soon as I'm over this I might like it more your way.
Right now this song means so much to me, because alot of the lyrics remind me of how I feel right now about my ex-bf.
"Sometimes I try not to hate myself for everything I never said when you were here"
--This rings a bell with me, because I didn't really try as hard to talk to him as I could have, and this might be why he broke up w/me.
"And so I'm burning up photographs of what was a perfect past, cuz I'm still here, but I'm barely holding on"
--I'm trying to forget you, because it hurts too bad to think of how happy I was. You might have moved on, but I'm still here in this state of mourning. I'm trying to get by, but it hurts so bad.
"Where did I go wrong, choking on the difference between me and the world"
--This sounds like the whole rest of my life without him... I was so stuck in this rut of "no one knows me" that when someone actually tried to, I didn't let them.
"And ever since you've been gone, I've been torn apart
I know that you can't hear me, but I'm still hurt, and I wish you were here"
--Kinda self-explanatory... hurting cuz he left and only yearning for him at my side again.
"So hard that I try to bury it, pretend that you didn't exist, so I can be strong"
--Just thinking that I was gullible enough to fall into him, and then he left me, makes me feel so weak and hopeless. I want nothing more than to forget him, yet I can't.
"But I feel sick, and I feel diseased, cuz everyone abandons me, and I can't move along, cuz I'm barely holding on"
--This, along with everything else in my life, makes me feel like no one cares about me. It used to be okay, but so many of the friends I thought I had don't talk to me anymore.
"I cannot pretend you didn't exist
Misery is just a state of mind
Hiding from the world's no way to live
So I'll convince myself that I'll be fine
I'll be fine
But since I lost you I'm barely holding on"
--It's so hard, going on like this, because I know that I will never forget you. I'm putting myself through this misery, by trying to block you out. I can't just sink back into my routine of not letting anyone in, because it hurts too much, and I don't want to live my whole life like that. I have to get over you, and learn to love again, for my own sake, but I'm just so depressed, it doesn't seem possible.
"So I look up to the stars and wonder out loud why everything I had in life has fallen from my arms
Can you even hear this song I'm screaming at the clouds?
Screaming to a galaxy that never cared at all that I need you here"
--Pretty self-explanatory... not very debatable, but still very emotion-filled. If you want me to explain my take on it, I can, but I think that most of you can understand this part.
So, idk, it probably makes more sense how Literate&Stylish and music-addict said, but I just interpret it this way. That's the power of music, anyway, alot of the time it's open for your own interpretation, and in this way becomes a sort of therapy whenever you need it there. No matter what else or who else in the world leaves you, you will always have music there to help you through (if not in your mp3, then at least in your heart).
