Cover art for Cut lyrics by Plumb

Okay so the song "Cut" by Plumb is just an amazing song in general. I first got her album at a killer concert, so I liked this song from the beginning. My interpretation of this song, is that in the beginning she feels hopeless. The need of help since she is desperate, and in pain. This song could be making a reference to god, that she wants god to help her. But in reality, it could be anyone really. She's calling out for help, and it may or may not be for god.

"Tears that still drip sore".....Okay in my opinion, she's saying when she crys, the pain doesn't go away even AFTER there's no more tears to shed, that there's emptiness still inside her.

I used to cut myself, not for suicidal purposes but it was a way that I could relieve stress, and when she cuts she feels the same way. You can tell that she wants help, she doesn't want to feel the guilt in life anymore, whether that be emotionally/spiritually or actually physically.

In the middle of the song, she's getting a little stronger, especially with the lyrics "Or painfully shy". This is a ground breaker right there, getting more confidence in herself and her feelings.

Then at the end of this song by Plumb, she finally gets over cutting. She does not cut anymore, she is speaking in past tense, as what she ONCE was but no longer is.

This song explains the last two years of my life perfectly, thank you for being a role model for everyone else in this world who feels just as depressed as you once did. To the people who think "ew cutting, this song isn't appropriate" Well actually, it really is. Once you understand the meaning behind this song, it cuts into your heart like a diamond, clearing you through the rough times.

ANy comments on my opinion? I'd love to hear yours :)

OH and when I was self harming myself, I did about 250 cuts at one time. At least that many, so I have many scars, and hav not regretted one of them when I stopped over a year ago, it's a part of who I am and it's put behind me, you shouldn't have to feel shame when others see.

My Interpretation

First off, im reall sorry you cut yourself? and I know what its like so I can relate? And I think your actually totally right about the song. I mean I understnad why people might go "eeew cutting yourself?"...but something has to drive a person to cut themself? so its not as simple as it maybe sounds? I dont know im just suggesting ideas? Lol...anyway yeah I think your totally right....but..and you might not know the answer but did the singer actually cut herself?
