She's upset
Bad day
Heads for the dresser drawer
To drive her pain away.
Nothing good can come of this.
She opens it,
There's nothing there
There is only left over tears.
Mom and dad had no right she screams
The anger runs down both of her cheeks.
Then she closed her eyes
And found relief in a knife
The blood flows as she cries.
All alone the way she feels
Left alone to deal with all the pain-drenched sorrow relief
Bite the lip just forget the bleeding.
Then she closed her eyes
And found relief in a knife
The blood flows as she cries
Wooah oh
Then she closed her eyes
And found relief in a knife
The blood flows as she cries.
Curled up,
She's on the floor.
The relief left her...
She had hoped for something more
From it (Hoped for something more)
From it
And he leans down to comfort her
She is weeping
And He
Wraps His arms around
And around and around and...
The deeper you cut
The deeper I hurt
The deeper you cut
It only gets worse
The deeper you cut
The deeper I hurt
The deeper you cut
It only gets worse
Gets worse.
Now she's slowly opening...
Yeah, slowly opening
New eyes...
Then she opened her eyes
And found relief in His life
And put down her knives
Wooah oh
Then she opened her life
And found relief through His eyes
And put down
She put down,
Her knife.
i think if you don't believe in god it can also mean that you hurt someone you love when you cut and that an important person in your life can help you out and it also talks about the use of drugs in the beginning of the song
this is a bittersweet song. i dedicated it to a boyfriend because he made me not want to cut... but he just broke up with me... so all that work was for nothing...
it shows hope, love, and my dreams... most of that song is my life, only the end is wrong for me, i feel i have no hope. but still somhow this song has inspired me, i have to listen to it everyday now..its my way through lif...
This song is truely inspiring. It's about a girl, who is supposed to be portraying this other girl Renee Yohe who had a depressed and troubled teenage life, who cuts herself to ease her pain. It describes the need for love and how when you cut, you hurt others besides youself. Which in this case, it describes how you hurt God. The main girl is picked up in the video by her father, who is supposed to portray God the Father.
It is an amazing song.
I cried the first time I watched the video because it is sooo relatable.
Ten out of ten!
Okay, judging by the capitalized He's and His', the song at least ends by talking about God helping her, not a normal person like her boyfriend or, in the video, her dad.
I don't think either of the girls was supposed to be Renee, especially since she made a cameo in the video... Their situations were supposed to be similar (depressed adolescent girls that resort to cutting to deal with their pain), but I think they were both featured to show that depression can happend to anyone. While the range was only two girls, both the same age (making a rather limited range for "anyone"), these characters were designed to be on totally opposite ends of the social and possibly economic foodchains. It has a lot of truth to it. It really can affect anyone, even people that you may not expect, and there is always someone there that cares for you. You can make up your mind that there isn't but you're wrong (like the first girl and her father; she most likely believed he didn't care about her at all, but in the end you can tell that he really does love her). Maybe you haven't met the person or people that will care about you from the moment you meet on... yet. You will.
If you didn't know, though, the song was written with Renee Yohe as a muse. Renee is the person that ended up beginning a movement titled "To Write Love on Her Arms" which was created to help the suicidal and those that cut themselves.
