Nothing ever stops all these thoughts and the pain attached to them
Sometimes I wonder why this is happenin'
It's like nothing I can do would distract me when
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
'cause from the infinite words I can say I
Put all pain you gave to me on display
But didn't realize instead of setting it free I
Took what I hated and made it a part of me
(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)
(And now)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be right here)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be my fear)
(I can't separate)
(Myself from what I've done)
(Giving up a part of me)
(I've let myself become you)
Hearing your name the memories come back again
I remember when it started happening
I see you n' every thought I had and then
The thoughts slowly found words attached to them
And I knew as they escaped away
I was committing myself to em n' everyday
I regret saying those things 'cause now I see that I
Took what I hated and made it a part of me
(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)
(And now)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be right here)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be my fear)
(I can't separate)
(Myself from what I've done)
(Giving up a part of me)
(I've let myself become you)
(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)
(Get away from me)
Give me my space back you gotta just
(Go)
Everything comes down the memories of
(You)
I kept it in without letting you
(Know)
I let you go so get away from
(Me)
Give me my space back you gotta just
(Go)
Everything comes down the memories of
(You)
I kept it in without letting you
(Know)
I let you go
(And then you've become a part of me)
(You'll always be right here)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be my fear)
(I can't separate)
(Myself from what I've done)
(Giving up a part of me)
(I've let myself become you)
(I've let myself become you)
(I've let myself become)
(lost inside these thoughts of you)
(giving up a part of me)
(I've let myself become you)
Sometimes I wonder why this is happenin'
It's like nothing I can do would distract me when
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
'cause from the infinite words I can say I
Put all pain you gave to me on display
But didn't realize instead of setting it free I
Took what I hated and made it a part of me
(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)
(And now)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be right here)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be my fear)
(I can't separate)
(Myself from what I've done)
(Giving up a part of me)
(I've let myself become you)
Hearing your name the memories come back again

Chester's Lyrical I suffered bullying and becomes a bullie and he hates becoming the monster that made
him suffer
Not about a chick dudes
I link it to the abuse that I suffered over 10 years ago that lasted around 7 years give or take, it links to the anger, fear and lonliness I felt, how I always thought about it and all the pain it caused, I cudn't ever escape it, and it tore me apart. (Until recently, when I started fighting back.)
"Nothing ever stops all these thoughts
And the pain attached to them"
This is basically what I was trying to say there, that I cudn't ever get over the pain of it.
"Sometimes I wonder why this is happening
Its like nothing I can do will distract me when"
I cudn't ever figure it out, why was it happening, what had I done to deserve it, all that kinda stuff, and nothing could take my mind off it for long.
"I think of how I shot myself in the back again
'Cause from the infinite words I could say / I
Put all the pain you gave to me on display / But didn't
Realize / Instead of setting it free / I
Took what I hated and made it a part of me
(It never goes away)"
This whole bit shows how when I tried to tell him, myself or anyone how I felt that I wasn't letting all the anger out like I thought I was, I was letting it take me over. The hate grew even stronger, and the desire and need for revenge did the same. I was making it a part of me, the hate and fear and rage was deciding who I was. (I've only recently started trying to change myself, after over 10 years, more than half my life)
"And now
You've become a part of me
You'll always be right here
You've become a part of me
You'll always be my fear"
This is all of what I said earlier, but shortened
"I can't separate myself from what I've done"
Again about the anger, fear and everything, I can't take the person I was away from what this has made me, the anger and everything has become a part of me...
"I've given up a part of me
I've let myself become you"
...which leads to this, the fact that a part of me was gone, and tainted by the anger and fear and emotions that I felt.
"Hearing your name / The memories come back again"
I always thought about it but never really spoke about it, once I heard his name it hit even harder, I hate it but not as much.
"I remember when it started happening
I'd see you in every thought I had and then"
This bit I can't really explain, I always remembered what happened, but after he was gone I went numb, not thinking about anything, then one day it started, everything went back to him, why I'm so shy, why I am too protective if I let people close to me etc.
"The thoughts slowly found words attached to them"
I took these thoughts and linked them to my lonliness and fear and anger, so normal and even happy thoughts could hurt me.
"And I knew as they escaped away I was
Committing myself to them / And every day I
Regret saying those things / 'Cause now I see / That I
Took what I hated and made it a part of me
(It never goes away)"
This is the earlier points again, I have just started to regret everything I thought and said about him, it made the hold he had over me and my life stronger, even if he wasn't "there" anymore and didn't know. There's a strong chance he'll always be there, but I'm not letting the hate consume me, I'm gonna fight back and become myself again.
"Get away from me
Gimme my space back / You gotta just go"
This is what I've just started to realize, he terrorized my life for long enough, it's time for me to get my life back.
"Everything comes down to memories of you"
As the rest of what I've said most likely shows my life comes down to the same memories of this one person, it holds me back on everything I love doing, whether it's football, letting people get close to me and trusting them with my emotions or even just talking to people.
"I've kept it in but now I'm letting you know
I've let you go"
I've had enough, and I'm now fighting back...
"GET AWAY FROM ME"
...You will NOT ruin my life any longer, you won't get the satisfation. Kthxbi...without the thanks, just f*** off
I've let myself become you
I've let myself become lost inside these
Thoughts of you
Giving up a part of me
I've let myself become you
But I think you can interpret this song in anyway, and in as a big a level as you can personally link it to that way. That's why I love it, it's one of them songs that even if you have as strong a view as I do about it. You can still see how it could be linked to other things, such as what other people here have said.
If you read all that...WOW... have a internet cookie ^_^
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
‘Cuz from the infinite words I can say I
Put all pain you gave to me on display"
These lines say it all.
He can't distract his mind form the thought of the pain, and shooting himself in the back referrign to how he let's it happen again and again. The part about 'infinite words I can say' is just a filler, it has no real meaning other than what it says. 'Put all the pain on display' clearly meaning showing the anger that he kept inside that was given to him.
In the chorus: "You've become a part of me
You'll always be right here
You've become a part of me
You'll always be my fear"
'always be right here' and 'always be my fear' point to abuse of some sort. The fear.
Linking this song to girlfriend or boyfriend relationships makes no sense at all because he doesn't mention a single thing about 'love' between two people, or once loving a girl. It's just a song about hatred for becoming like somebody. And the only people who you can become like, are people you see as role models. Lol
Somebody said it best before when they brought up the abuse situation. To me, the deeper meaning makes me think of kids who are beaten as children, and put down by their parents. They let that anger attach to them, and they hold it inside. They still hold resentment for their parents though.'
A very childish song in it's own way, but hardcore enough to get by.
Overall, the song's meaning is: someone is obsessed with another person, they cant control it, they realize they regret everything they chose to do and now they need their past obsession to just leave their life forever. But its almsot impossible. It's like a scar that will never go away.
great song
I
Put all pain you gave to me on display
But didn't realize instead of settin’ it free I
Took what I hated and made it a part of me
is a realy good metaphor for putting the mental pain out as physical pain, but instaid of releasing it, it becomes a constant reminder of what caused it.
