Hang me, watch awhile
Let me see you smile as I die
Take me, as my body burns
Let me see you yearn, while I cry

One step on your own
And you walk all over me
One head in the clouds
You won't let go
You're too proud
One light to the blind, and they see
One touch on the head, we believe

Adore me as I drift away
Let me hear you say I'm fine
You cry as my body dies
All that you despised is gone away

One step on your own
And you walk all over me
One head in the clouds
You won't let go, you're too proud
One light to the blind, and they see
One touch on the head, we believe
We believe

One step on your own
And you walk all over me
One head in the clouds
You won't let go, you're too proud
One light to the blind, and they see
One touch on the head, we believe
We believe

    This song can be taken many different ways. In general, I think it is about bullying; not just the bullying of a school bully, but also about the media as being a bully. It's about people who use you to get to a fake level of happiness. The line, you won't let go, you're too proud is my favorite. I see it as a person who thinks they are acting the way they should, and are proud they can act this way. The attitude discusts me, but the song is an anthem.
