When I hear this song I hear the emptiness and loneliness it portrays. I've never been diagnosed with depression but I've felt this emptiness for as long as I can remember. Some days I'm sadder than most and other days I just feel numb. Sure I can smile and laugh but it doesn't mean anything. I've condition myself to seem normal. This song speaks to me, like most of the people here, and its a cry for help. Most of the time I deal with this on my own because I would rather not burden my friends and family. Though as the days go by the emptiness in my heart becomes to much.
[I'm in here can anybody see me?
Can anybody help?
I'm in here a prisoner of history
Can anybody help?]
The person is looking out from within themselves, though normal in appearance, they're begging for someone to notice. Someone to see that not everything is as it seems. During this whole time they keep making the same mistakes over and over. Again, they want someone to correct them to let them know that it isn't okay and that there are other options.
[Can't you hear my call?
Are you coming to get me now?
I've been waiting for,
You to come rescue me,
I need you to hold,
All of the sadness I can not,
Living inside of me.]
This is pretty self-explanatory because the person has exposed a little of themselves. Just enough for someone to see their pain. They need someone to realize the heaviness in their heart and need someone to know.
[I'm in here, I'm trying to tell you something,
Can anybody help?
I'm in here, I'm calling out but you can't hear,
Can anybody help?]
Despite all the effort of trying to reveal the pain within it they are still being ignored; be it intentionally or unintentionally. I can relate to this in ways that people don't want to know. They've got their own problems and "don't" need my own. I also see it as this person, myself included, can't bring themselves to talk about what's troubling them.
[I'm crying out, I'm breaking down,
I am fearing it all,
Stuck inside these walls,
Tell me there is hope for me
Is anybody out there listening?]
In the end they feel hopeless. They want someone to be able to tell them, "Its going to be okay," but they can't bring themselves to really say anything. They can't escape from the walls they've built around themselves. Even though I care for my family and my best friends I can't bring myself to say anything. The person also just hopes that someone will notice or that someone has noticed something. They don't want to live with this darkness within them.
