Cover art for The Diary lyrics by Hollywood Undead

I'm sure plenty of people can take this song and make it mean many, many things. But I like this song, and I really feel for it. It's like they understand what most people are actually going through.. To an extent. (obviously not exactly..but eh..anyways)

So, he ran away from his problems.. Maybe not literally, they talk about drugs and alcohol, so maybe he abused to get away from everything.

"I can't think of a reason To get the fuck out of bed Curtains closed, lights are off Am I alive or dead? I haven't shaved in a week I always slur when I speak"

Obviously, feeling like there is no real meaning for anything. No hope.

"I guess I need love Hoes ya see, Hoes ya see I'm just in a rut And I swear I'm tryin' baby please Baby don't leave God-damn I'm a fuck-up But I guess that's just me"

So, he might be with this girl who cares about him. And he declares to be a fuck-up, but he's the only one who even believes it. Ironically, he feels like noone really cares, but at least someone, if not a bigger group of people care and don't think he's a fuckup, maybe making a bad choice.

"So I sit in my room And I'll cry in my bed Thinkin' about all the shit That made me wrong in my head I keep tryin to climb But it seems so steep Pour myself a fuckin' whisky And go back to sleep, bitch"

Obviously, he's depressed. And can't help what is runnning through is mind, but he's trying to make himself better..But gives up in the end, and goes back to getting drunk.

"I watch my momma cry She says 'baby why?' I say 'baby died, Baby's gone like a suicide'"

His mom is just asking why he's doing all these horrible things to himself, and he says basically..He isn't himself, his old self "good self" (if you wanna say) is dead.

"I pour this out for you Like a partner in crime It's part of the times When you're sick in the mind"

I feel like..This part is more of a shout out, to everyone who is listening. If they are feeling similar, worse or better. He's spilling his heart for them so they know, they are not alone in their feelings.

"And I wanna go back to the start Back where we started from And I know it's been so long I was wrong, I was wrong I was wrong all along"

Personally, one of the my favorite verses.. Because I feel for it.. so i'll put myself in this interpretation. I want everything to be back when everything was good..I've been wronging everyone, myself included. He (and I) just want everything to be..back to when life was good..And it was worth waking up..


That was my interpretation of this song. Kind of a comparison to what I've been feeling for since I was 8 years old.

This is my favorite HU song. period.
