Lyrics for Simon as interpreted by dsfire

Simon Lyrics
Catch your breath
Hit the wall
Scream out loud
As you start to crawl
Back in your cage
The only place where
They will leave you alone

'Cause the weak will seek the weaker
Until they've broken them
Could you get it back again
Would it be the same

Fulfillment to their lack of strength
At your expense
Left you with no defense
They tore it down

And I have felt the same
As you, I've felt the same
As you, I've felt the same

Locked inside the only place
Where you feel sheltered
Where you feel safe
You lost yourself
In your search to find
Something else to hide behind

The fearful always preyed upon your confidence
Did they see the consequence
When they pushed you around
The arrogant build kingdoms
Made of the different ones
Breaking them 'til they've become
Just another crown

And I have felt the same
As you, I've felt the same
As you, I've felt the same
As you, I've felt the same

Refuse to feel, anything at all
Refuse to slip, refuse to fall
Can't be weak, can't stand still
You watch your back, 'cause no one will

You don't know why
They had to go this far
Traded your worth for these scars
For your only company
Don't believe the lies that they told to you
Not one word was true
You're alright, you're alright,
You're alright

And I have felt the same
As you, I've felt the same
As you, I've felt the same
As you, I've felt the same

As you, I've felt the same

I'm not sure this song is about Jesus. It could be, but I believe that if it is a Christian song, it's either about a Christian or it's Christ himself speaking to a Christian being persecuted.

But to the point I wanted to make: Lifehousefans.com has not validity. The page from which you got your quotes from Jason cannot be found anywhere else on the web. They may as well have made the quotes up.

actually this song is about a friend of Jason Wade; he told jason about his childhood and how it was been the outcast and had everyone picked on him all the time.

when my heart was broken from my first love, all i did was listen to this song. simon can have many different meanings, as do alot of lifehouse songs, but to me this song is about trying to get through a broken heart. its krazy, but i can decifer every line in this song to what i went through. to me, this is more than a song, it takes me back to a time in my life i will never forget. words will not decribe what this song is to me.

This is about being so desperate and afraid that you stop being a feeling human being, you stop having the capacity to be vulnerable and let go, which is what faith is.

The song is very touching and sad.. its about someone lonely whose having a hard time with life and noones there for him.. Then the vocal says "As you I've felt the same", hes like saying "I've been through that, I've been there before.. you're not alone, don't give up".

I'm extremely surprised that only one person thought of the character Simon from The Lord of the Flies. That's who I immediately thought of, at least, and it made this song special to me since that book was absolutely amazing and that character is so special to me. I would hope some people on here are old enough to have read that book in class and remembered Simon. He was actually a Christ figure as well.

As for Jason writing it about his friend, that's touching. But I doubt songwriters expect every person to know every personable meaning behind the song. Take it how it comes to you, especially with a song as emotive as this.

first off, people need to stop saying "its not about god." or "its not about life." ...did you write the song? no. so let people put their own opinions down, thats what this site is for.

at first i thought it was about somebody understanding someone else who isnt fitting in or is getting picked on all the time; however, i think this song CAN be about simon from the bible - if you look at it that way. you have to be familiar with the story to understand it tho. but i didnt think that until i read it on here. so the song can mean whatever you want, thats the beauty of it.

Not all of Lifehouse's songs are based on religion, most of them are, but there are some where it's about a girl! Please stop jumping down people's throats and saying it's all about religion when it's not. I know there are many songs about girls like you and me, first time, whatever it takes, etc. Broken is about his friend who had a kidney transplant, so don't assume things you don't know. do the research first. this song could be about over coming troubles, the bible, or his friend.

This song is about someone who is broken through years of being tormented by others. Someone who can feel nothing but self pity and wants to hide away from the world - all because of the way they've been treated by other people. Being pushed around to the point where they don't feel they have anything to offer the world any more.

'Cause the weak will seek the weaker
Until they've broken them
Could you get it back again
Would it be the same

and

Refuse to feel, anything at all
Refuse to slip, refuse to fall
Can't be weak, can't stand still
You watch your back, 'cause no one will

are my favourite lyrics.

The song writer is telling this person that they've been through similar feelings and emotions and that it's going to be ok. It doesn't matter how much people might try to grind you down and do things that make you feel like you don't matter - you really do. If you let yourself be open to it, others will show you that you're going to be fine, like many others who have had to endure the same feelings in their lifetime. Never give up on life.
