Paper Lung Lyrics

Cover art for Paper Lung lyrics by Underoath

This song is obviously about struggling to deal with somebody else in our lives who keeps bringing us down through his or her actions. It's about our need to understand that sometimes we cannot save people from themselves and we must walk away.

The song reveals that the singer can no longer take the lies and excuses given by the other person, and that they can no longer deal with the problems the person brings. The singer resolves to walk away and let the person fend for his or herself.

Good song, very tough subject matter. I admire Spencer for reminding us that we can't always save others and sometimes we are in danger of being dragged down with them if we try.

I agree, excellent comment. Man, I love this song =D
