This song deals with the struggles of depression and the toll it takes on the narrator’s relationships. It also subtlety deals with themes of addiction and trying anything to make the pain go away, although already being aware that nothing will help.
(Looking at me with those eyes
Said goodbye, but I'm trying
And I'm trying so hard just to feel alive
Swear I'm trying
Wiping the tears from my eyes but they won't stop flowing)
Looking at me with those eyes
Said goodbye, but I'm trying
And I'm trying so hard just to feel alive
Swear I'm trying
Wiping the tears from my eyes but they won't stop flowing
And these needles won't stop the pain
It hit with no warning, no warning
With every second, it gets harder to stand
Feeling down, I get so sick and I don't understand
Always looking for the answers, don't know where to look
I'm afraid to go outside, I feel misunderstood
And I still remеmber
Our breath in the air and thе cold in the late December
Looking at me with those eyes
Said goodbye, but I'm trying
And I'm trying so hard just to feel alive
Swear I'm trying
Wiping the tears from my eyes but they won't stop flowing
And these needles won't stop the pain
It hit with no warning, no warning
Guess I'll never understand
How it got this way
Is it here to stay?
And I'm troubled by my numbered days
Now I'm finding peace in a razor blade
Guess I'll never understand
(And I still remember)
How it got this way
Is it here to stay?
And I'm troubled by my numbered days
(Our breath in the air and the cold in the late December)
Now I'm finding peace in a razor blade
Looking at me with those eyes
Said goodbye, but I'm trying
And I'm trying so hard just to feel alive
Swear I'm trying
Wiping the tears from my eyes but they won't stop flowing
And these needles won't stop the pain
It hit with no warning, no warning
