With isolation comes loneliness, this song is a cry for understanding. No one cares to know how he feels, let alone bring him out of this despair. He wants someone (possibly a specific person) to know what he’s going through, not in an abusive manner, but an empathizing one.
[Verse 1]
One day I fell asleep and dreamt of something to keep
Opened up my dying mind to see the things that I'd never find
Something true and beautiful was waiting there for me
In a dream where I believed I'd find my way back home
[Chorus]
Oh and I think you should know how it feels
Falling down and out alone when no one cares
And I think you should know how it feels when
The world buries your soul and you're still alive
[Verse 2]
Don't ask if you can tell
When I scratch myself to sleep
And don't try to wake me up
When I fall down, I bleed
And even though there is more to say
I've tried to steer myself away
I've taken all I can
I can help myself
[Chorus]
Oh and I think you should know how it feels
Falling down and out alone when no one cares
I think you should know how it feels when
The world buries your soul and you're still alive
[Outro]
There must be someone out there
Who can hear me scream aloud
I know there's someone who cares
Just enough to help me out
Tell me there's someone out there
Know you hear me now
I know there's someone who cares
So please just help me out!
Know you hear me now
I know there's someone who cares
So please just help me out!
