World of Chances Lyrics

Lyric discussion by thatkidnoonelikes 

Cover art for World of Chances lyrics by Demi Lovato

i think this song is about her suicide and bullying,

at first she says how they've got a face for a smile, but they are just so caught up in bringing her down and bullying her that they never show their kindness, i think the chances she keeps giving is to the bully and each chance is breaking her slowly because they keep tearing her apart.

and then it says : "I've got a paper and pen, I go to write a goodbye" i think that's talking about a suicide letter, but then she realizes she's got a world of chances.

then she says she's lost faith and that she's falling off the edge and that she's at an "end" so that suggests that she committed suicide

"Maybe you'll call me someday Hear the operator say the number's no good" i think this part says that the bully tried calling and finding her but the "operator" says that the "numbers no good" which symbolizes that she isn't there anymore

"She had a world of chances, for you She had a world of chances Chances you were burning through" and then it goes to past tense which shows that she HAD those chances but not anymore because she's dead

"You've got a face for a smile, you know" she just wants the bully to know that even after she's gone she wants them to smile and stop the hate

My Interpretation

OMG I almost cried with your interpretation. I never looked the song in that way, and, yes, makes all sense. Sad

Finally someone else who thinks the same as I do, it's not about some stupid break up, it's about being bullied and then the bully later tries to contact her and finds out she killed herself
