Crowded streets all cleared away
One by one
Hollow heroes separate
As they run
You're so cold
Keep your hand in mine
Wise men wonder while
Strong men die
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try
If you find your family
Don't you cry
In this land of make believe
Dead and dry
You're so cold
But you feel alive
Lay your hands on me
One last time
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
One by one
Hollow heroes separate
As they run
You're so cold
Keep your hand in mine
Wise men wonder while
Strong men die
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try
If you find your family
Don't you cry
In this land of make believe
Dead and dry
You're so cold
But you feel alive
Lay your hands on me

Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are

It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright

"Awesome song from an extremely underrated and under played band."
That is SO TRUE! I really think Breaking Benjamin don't care about the money. I think they just want their music to be heard. Because time and time again each of their CDs come out on sale for like $9.99.
Anyway, I believe this song sums up life.
"If you find your family, Don't you cry In this land of make believe, Dead and dry"
This line talks about how this world is nothing more then a dream so don't cry when you see how cold everyone has gotten. That people just need to stop, and start caring about other people. We need to all just make it through!
This world is truly gotten cold. Ask yourself this... how many times when you heard about people dying in the name of religion in the East and you hear... "Well, that's life."
Children impoverished and suffering on the streets. "Well, that's life."
A banking corporation rips your money off with its fines based on policies of greed "Well, that's life."
I'm sorry, but this world is falling apart. The sad thing, is people are getting used to it. And now we have Prozac, and a dozen or so other drugs designed to numb you and completely override your emotions.
The only reason I came up with this summation of this song is largely because this is how my family is. My mom is so medicated and numb from the abuse of her life that she doesn't even know how she feels anymore.
It's so sad...
<cries>
I think that all you wrote is completely true. <br /> I saw it the same way. <br /> So much everyone is trying to do to get rid of reality and you see nothing for what it is anymore. <br /> Where are we headed???
Same with my mother.. tthats what this song makes me think of :(
I think you're right. this world is going to hell. but I believe that perhaps, with your mom, and others like her, perhaps she only doesn't want to show emotion in front of other people. I know I am that way. I only show emotion in front of animals or an empty room. other than that, the only 3 emotions I show in front of other humans are happiness, anger (and that only when it's really bad, like someone threatening my friends), and irritation when I am about to get really pissed. other than that, I either fake my emotions, or I just hide them altogether... and yet I'm not numb...
Hey, asshole, I'm on anti-depressants. If I wasn't, I'd be dead. Anti-depressants serve a purpose and when you say shit like they "numb" you, that just pisses me off because I feel it's quite to contrary. I feel numb and alone when I'm not on my meds. If you don't need them then good for you, but don't look down upon people who are on them because they have mental issues.
I agree with this. Amazing song.<br /> <br /> <br /> Well "SOFTYFTW" maybe u should start thinking about why society wants you to take drugs that alter your mind when u feel depressed instead of asking why u feel that way and how we can fix it (without drugs!).<br /> <br /> You post is exactly what this song is about, people not caring and just taking the ez way and not helping each other and understand what other people are going thru.<br /> <br /> Just saw that the post was very old so I hope you are doing fine now :)<br /> <br /> Peace and love!
