  Song Meaning:its basically, he's separated himself from society at some point and he doesn't know how to how to re-engage with people. He's scared and alone and it's slowly killing him inside and he desperately wants someone to find him and save him. thats my interpretation of it anyway. Huh, i guess this song is pretty much the whole soundtrack to my life...

  General Comment:LMFAO!
  
  This is the reason I made an account on this site...
  
  It's been entertaining, reading all these posts written by extremely aggravated people. Oh, and Quiffporn, it's not really a good thing to talk about homosexuality then say "my name is Quiffporn" if you know what I mean...
  
  what's the point of writing my interpretation? Charm005 did a pretty good job!
  
  and there's no such thing as bad music! How are The Rasmus BAD??!! If they're so terrible, how did a FINNISH band get onto the AMERICAN charts?! And I don't think The Rasmus are rock, Alt-Rock, rock-pop or anything. They're TR and thats that.

  Song Meaning:When the rasmus released this song in the UK and Lauri was quizzed over it, he made the comment that it was written on tour when he was depressed and if you read it in that light you can see it.
  
  The sequel (night after night) was written on the next tour when he was actually less depressed.

  General Comment:It's such a god song, i think all their songs have really vivid meanings. I see this one as a kind of awakening song, like he's been waiting all his life, searching for something that can revolutionise his life, and then he makes a decision that it's going to change, that he's really going to live. I mean, it could be drugs, or just something powerful and innate about himself that he can't deny. Haven't really thought it out completely yet!

  General Comment:this song means so much to me i cant even begin to explain how. This song is about someone who has been searching for something all their lives but never knowing exactly what their searching for, but they know its coming they can feel it, its so close that it could be tomorrow. all the time that they have been searching they have kept it a secret and feel sometimes like they are out of touch with reality. because they themselves can't explain what they have been searching and waiting for all there life. they feel lost and cant explain the emotions that they feel they just want someone to help them to feel there emotions and to understand them. so they continue to wait.

  General Comment:The song as a whole is bollocks. No two questions about this.
  The only decent part of this song is the tune/beat of the chorus - the one solitary little part of the tune.
  The frontman sings and looks like a bitch. The band is tallentless and their music as a whole is bollocks.
