What is the meaning of this song? I really like it but I can't figure out what it's about.?

You don't have to hear it to know. Here are the lyrics....





She wears a butterfly on her wrist,


But she might as well cut it's head off.


She's holding different weapons to kill the ghost inside,


Or at least kill the thought she has of killing her mind.


She says, "I love you," with her hands.


She says, "I hate you," with her eyes.





There's a pretty girl somewhere, with a pretty name,


But I could never let you know how much this means.


I swear I'll end this war, cause we both know,


It wasn't worth fighting for.





I wear God's name up by my wrist,


But you might as well tear my skin off.


She's letting go convictions, to release the ghost inside.


To release all the suffering of a cross and a girl.


I sing "I love you," way too much,


So I'll say "I hate you," for tonight.





Theres a pretty girl somewhere, with a pretty name,


But I could never let you know how much this means.


I swear I'll end this war, cause we both know,


It wasn't worth fighting for.





She, she said to me I will be driving in the wrong direction.


Did you ever think, that maybe your life,


Is heading in the wrong direction, baby?





There's a cross up on the wall,


See from the corner of your eye,


When you're down on your knees,


And she's begging please.


So go and lay back down tonight,


Because we won't know who are,


Until you're down on your knees,


And you're begging please.





Theres a pretty girl somewhere, with a pretty name,


But I could never let you know how much this means.


I swear I'll end this war, cause we both know,


It wasn't worth fighting for.

Reply:it sound like a depressing suicide song.....she wants to cut her wrists....she wants to die but she is afraid of doing it herself.....
Reply:k, i read about half of it, and its pretty damn simple.





It's about the troubles teens face today, and a specific case where a girl (feeling outcast) debating killing herself.





Its saying something corrupted her, because she used to be a normal, beautiful, innocent girl.





So.... in short... the loss of innocence in teens these days
Reply:okay well the first verse is most likely about a hirl who cuts herself. saying how she wears this innocent animal on her wrist but doesn't really keep up the image. i think overall it's talking about a girl who acts one way but she's really COMPLETELY different in her own miind. like 'she says i love you with her hands, but i hate you with her eyes' she's trying to cover it up by being nice and sweet but you can see that wall behind her eyes. i think the guy is just saying how he feels about it, that he's also kind of the same, but he realized it because of her
Reply:My interpretation of the song is the singer is talking about someone who's really hurt, that they're practically dead. And the ghost would be their spirit, and she's trying to let her spirit out but it's hard cause shes hurt and scared. She's afraid of where her lifes going and she doesnt want to say I love you cause she thinks it's used too much. She wants to kill her spirit because she's afraid what people will think.


It's probably not right, but thats what I think it means. so whatever.
Reply:mental illness.
Reply:there's this girl and although she acts like she loves this guy she doen't. She might be cheated or fell out of love or something good, sad too


Who's it by and what's the name of it?
Reply:Wow that's pretty deep.


At a glance it appears that the songwriter was talking of a relationship gone awry but on closer inspection, he could be talking of life itself.


This is just a wild guess though so... here goes...


The pretty girl he's referring to could be a guardian angel or someone close to him that represents his life.





In the verse:





She, she said to me I will be driving in the wrong direction.


Did you ever think, that maybe your life,


Is heading in the wrong direction, baby?





~ states that he may be living a carefree, selfish lifestyle pursuing superficial pursuits %26amp; now his subconscious is telling him to take it slow perhaps; reflect on his past actions, maybe...??





Hoped this helped.
