Nevershoutnever! On the Brightside lyrics

 
I met a man of 2 feet tall.
This man was quite ambitious
In a world that is so vicious
To us all.
I said "hi."
As he replied, he said
"Listen to these words that I have lived by my whole life."

You're only as tall
As your heart will let you be.
And you're only as small
As the world will make you seem.
And when the going gets rough,
And you feel like you may fall,
Just look on the bright side;
You're roughly six feet tall.

I met a man of 12 feet tall.
He towered like a giant
In a world that was defiant of his height.
I said "hi"
As he replied, he said,
"Listen to these words that I have dreaded my whole life."
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/n/nevershoutnever/on_the_brightside.html ]
You're only as tall
As your heart will let you be.
And you're only as small
As the world will make you seem.
And when the going gets rough,
And you feel like you may fall,
Just look on the bright side;
You're roughly six feet tall.

I am a man of 6 feet tall.
Just looking for some answers
In a world that answers none
Of them at all.
I'll say "hi."
But not reply to the letters that you write
Because I found some peace of mind.

Cause I'm only as tall
As my heart will let me be.
And I'm only as small
As the world will make me seem.
When the going gets rough,
And I feel like I may fall,
I'll look on the brightside;
I'm roughly six feet tall.

I think that this song is about how we see ourselves and how others see us. We can take crap from the world's judgement and this can make us feel small inside but in turn we can also reach out to others and make ourselves feel confident. But, in the end, as the song says, we are all roughly six feet tall. We are so absorbed with our own thoughts and feelings that we see everyone else as average and yet we harshly or don't realistically judge ourselves. In the end we are all six feet tall, not devil spawns but not angels either. Lol i dunno, maybe my interpretation is completely off =)

I think this song means what people make you look like and what you really are, the man that was small was small because he was to himself and he was happy and the guy that was huge was so involved with money and other things other then himself so when the small guy would "fall" he wouldn't get that hurt from it cause he stayed true to himself but when the big guy would fall he'd get hurt cause he looked at how the world looked at him, this song is kinda telling you to stay true to yourself

I thing the song means that whoever you are, whatever your religion is, we're all the same in someone's mind.

Its pooop. Done. Simple, because you have to be okay with yourself? Nah, there's always room for change.

I think this song means to be happy with yourself. Happy with your height. To me it's saying "at least you're not 2 feet tall or 12 feet tall. At least you're not super short or super tiny. You're just the right size, no matter who you are. " it also means to look on the brightside when things get hard. For example, say you have to work a lot to get money to go to a concert of your favorite band (like never shout never for one). It may suck at first, but hey, in the end, you'll get to see christofer live!! Or you can have a lot of money. :)

I think the meaning is how you were raised. In the music video the small guy was more down to earth and had only himself. The tall guy was like only focused on money. But the 6 feet tall guy was down to earth but still had hope, and loved his family as well as he knew he needs certain luxuries to live.

Dear lord, does it matter how he says his name? He is truly talented and he admits he sold out, but just becuase he is now making a real paycheck off of his art everyone is like ughh sellout i hate you blah blah blah i still like him and always will.

In my opinion, the meaning of this song is that if you're "falling" or nothings going quite right, at least you have something to fall from. Like at least there is something good to fall from.
