This song depicts the struggle of someone who “has no worth” and his desire for better times in his life. However, although he recognises he may not always face those “better times” and that he may be surrounded by “negative emotions”, he believes he’ll get through his bad situations and be able to...
[Verse 1]
Can you tell me a story
Without any words?
Then mold me misshapen
From the soaking dirt
Keep feeding me courage
That I don't deserve
So I don't feel broken
Like I have no worth
[Pre-Chorus]
My apathy's growing
And I never learn
I'm spending this token
So I don't get burned
[Chorus]
And it seems like
I'm never gonna make this
Feel right
I'm drowning in a wave of
Insight
I'll never be the one to
Breathe a sigh
But I'll survive
Storm clouds
Even though the sun has
Gone down
Negative emotions
Inbound
I'll never be the one to
Make a sound
But I'll survive
[Verse 2]
Can you whittle me a token
Of strength and rebirth?
Can you wrap it in linen
And a stolen curse?
Take strength from the knowledge
That this always hurts
Now keep your eyes open
So it won't get worse
[Pre-Chorus]
My apathy's growing
And I never learn
I'm spending this token
So I don't get burned
[Chorus]
And it seems like
I'm never gonna make this
Feel right
I'm drowning in a wave of
Insight
I'll never be the one to
Breathe a sigh
But I'll survive
Storm clouds
Even though the sun has
Gone down
Negative emotions
Inbound
I'll never be the one to
Make a sound
But I'll survive
[Chorus]
And it seems like
I'm never gonna make this
Feel right
I'm drowning in a wave of
Insight
I'll never be the one to
Breathe a sigh
But I'll survive
Storm clouds
Even though the sun has
Gone down
Negative emotions
Inbound
I'll never be the one to
Make a sound
But I'll survive
[Outro]
I can't make you feel alive
(And you know I don't regret it)
(You know I don't regret it)
I can't make you feel alive
(And you know I don't regret it)
(You know I don't regret it)
