i think this song is pretty obvious..... but basically i think its saying that if you think you have it bad, think of someone whose really struggeling.... like those truly in hell.... and im not sure whether thats supposed to be a metaphor or whether hes literally talking about those in hell.... but we in america have life so easy and if one little thing gets messed up we get all bent out of shape about it but theres always someone who has it worse than you......

Guyya - "i think this song is pretty obvious..... but basically i think its saying that if you think you have it bad, think of someone whose really struggeling."

That's exactly what this song is about and no it's not a metaphor for souls in hell,it's about people with problems that most of us have never had to worry about (living in a 3rd world country,homelessness,starvation,persecution and injustice by their people or their government,no one to listen to them,no one to love them,anyone other then ourselves and our own bullshit)...Think about it for a second....how trivial is some...

Also I think it also has to do with someone always caring about themselves and their problems and never taking the time to look at the problems that others have and finally realizes how trivial his problems are compared to the problems of others in the world and those around him.

yea i was just exploring different interpretations lol
