In short: Maybe there was something beautiful in your life once, but someone tore it away from you, and destroyed it. You can have them all-they don't mean anything to me anymore.Īnd then there are the references to another person, someone I'm sure he was once close to, but who is now moving on with their life-but while they move on, he is "still right here."Ī painful, painful song. The reference to the empire of dirt, crown of shit maybe things that were once beautiful, or at least valuable, but now worthless. I agree with lorienmariene and primusboy
And you don't want to remember anymore, but you can't help yourself. You try to block them out because, at one point, they were so beautiful but now they're simply. but I believe that, again, as usual, it's a metaphor for unwanted memories. Yes, it does say 'tear a hole' with a needle. I don't really think this song relates to drug use. The other three are McLachlan, Alanis, and Maynard. There are four musical Gods out there Trent is one of them. Away from all the people I know and love I wouldn’t lose who I was, I’d find a way to show them I really do care.
Painful lyrics how to#
( i don’t remember how to feel its been so long since I have) ( I don’t know the truth anymore so it all must be lies) (my crowning achievement in life is that I have achieved nothing) (I will do to you what I’ve done to everyone else, drive you away with my self loathing) (if you want me you can take it, but I’m worthless) (you are the closest to me, I adore you, help me) (I try to make the memories and pain go away, but it won’t go) (I’ve done drugs to deaden my senses for so long its familiar, normal) (everything seems surreal, but at least I know the pain is real) (I feel so dead and empty, I was just wondering if I still had any feeling) its something that unless you have been there or watched someone there you never really understand My Interpretationthis is a song talking about being at the absolute bottm of depression. And finally once the noise goes away, there's nothing left behind. I think that's him transcending to Heaven or Hell, depending on how you look at the album. And if he had any chance to go back and start over, he wouldn't commit suicide, and he'd find a way to deal with the Ruiner by any means possible ("If I could start again, a million miles away, I could keep myself, I would find a way") finally there's the very loud noise that comes with the last line. He let down the people who loved him and hurt them ("I will let you down, I will make you hurt"). He was being someone he wasn't, while the human side of him is still there, just now robbed of life. "You were someone else, I am still right here" is him talking to himself. He was selfish and weak in thinking suicide was the only solution to something we all fight subconsciously. Almost immediately upon taking his life, he (his ghost/soul/whatever) regrets it. Our protagonist finally gives in and shoots himself, and suddenly the Ruiner is gone, but so is his life.
The goal of the Ruiner is to make your life miserable and take it, and he is in every one of us. Self-Destruct/the mechanical voice in his head. In the preceding song "The Downward Spiral", the protagonist shoots himself in the head to escape the torture of the Ruiner/Mr. General CommentLooking at the plot of the album, I believe this song could be an anthem to the victims of suicide.
