So deep, that it didn't even bleed and catch me
Off guard, red handed
Now I'm far from lonely
I sleep, I still see you lying next to me
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me I
I need something else
Would someone please just give me
Hit me and knock me out
And let me go back to sleep
I can't laugh
All I want inside I still am empty
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me I
I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got
I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got
I guess, I remember every glance you shot me
Un-harmed, I'm losing weight and some body heat
Eyes closed so hard
I stopped your heart from beating
So deep that I didn't even scream fuck me, I
I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got
I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got
And it's all that I've got
Yeah, it's all that I've got
It's all that I've got
It's all that I've got!
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me
So deep that I didn't even scream fuck me
I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got
I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got
And it's all that I've got
Yeah, it's all that I've got
Off guard, red handed
Now I'm far from lonely
I sleep, I still see you lying next to me
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me I
I need something else
Would someone please just give me
Hit me and knock me out
And let me go back to sleep
I can't laugh
All I want inside I still am empty
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me I
I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got
I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got
I guess, I remember every glance you shot me
Un-harmed, I'm losing weight and some body heat
Eyes closed so hard
I stopped your heart from beating
So deep that I didn't even scream fuck me, I
I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got
I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got
And it's all that I've got
Yeah, it's all that I've got
It's all that I've got
It's all that I've got!
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me
So deep that I didn't even scream fuck me
I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got
I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got
And it's all that I've got
Yeah, it's all that I've got

Person A is the one who stepped away and did their thing.
Person B is the one who through the lyrics is struggling...
Its all a charade, i remember seeing this once from someone....SHE was battling with it, but acted like all was well... very commemorable....but at some point, its just a matter of self admittance, after that point.... nothing happens, but its never all you got.. i disagree in the sense that that person could make themselves breathe alive again
This song in particular is mocking the "emo" MCR back on the days of Three Cheers for sweet revenge. Well, at least that's my opinion.
:) Sorry for the bad english
the guy is clearly saying that he is pretending to be sad or depressed or hurt when in fact nothing is wrong, which is why he says he is "far from lonely", so when he says "so deep that it didnt even bleed" means he either cuts himself but not to a dangerous degree or he fakes it and talks about it.
so basically this song this is like the thoughts of the emo poser kids in the mid 2000s pretending like they had problems when in fact they were just doing it to be part of a click, that's why the songs says "im far from lonely, and its all that ive got."
Off guard, red handed
Now I'm far from lonely
Asleep I still see you lying next to me
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me I.."
These first lines are describing (let's just say a man) cutting his wrists as a form of suicide. The lacerations are what's so deep. He is far from lonely (as in not lonely) because he's now in an unconscious state (asleep), believing the person he loves is right next to him, which he can only see when he's asleep.
"I need something else
Would someone please just give me
Hit me, knock me out
And let me go back to sleep
I can laugh
All I want inside I still am empty
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me I..."
He can't stand the waking hours because the lover is not with him (I'm guessing dead). He needs something else because consciousness and awareness are slowly killing him because he is not with this person. He would like someone to knock him out so he can be happy, with this person, where he can laugh. All he wants inside is to have happiness, which he can achieve with this person. Since he is not with her anymore, the only substitute is being unconscious, which isn't real. In reality, he is empty inside. The "so deep..." refers, again, to the cutting of the wrists. It would be the end all and the ultimate happiness, because he would no longer wake up to the sadness and disappointment that he is not truly with this person.
"I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got"
Now this part is a little tricky, especially with the lack of commas, only going on the way it is sung. One way to look at it is that he is fine pretending, which he isn't. Pretending to be with the person he loves by sleeping or being knocked out isn't enough. It's not real. He can pretend as if pretending will make him fine, but it really isn't. (Hope that made sense) He puts himself "far from lonely" with the constant state of unconscious. When he's sleeping, he can't be lonely because he is with her. That's all he can do.
"I guess, I remember every glance you shot me
Un-harmed, I'm losing weight and some body heat
I squoze so hard
I stopped your heart from beating
So deep that I didn't even scream fuck me, I.."
He is talking directly to his lover. I think he's making a pun, saying she "shot" him a glance and he's unharmed, as if she "shot" him with a bullet, which would normally harm a person. With her gone, he's extremely upset and stressed, which caused the weight loss, and not being close to her counts for the loss of body heat. To compensate for this lack of body heat, he squeezes her in a tight hug, because he misses her so much and they could get warm that way. The intensity of the squeeze stops her heart, as if her heart couldn't take their love, the sheer amount of it. The "so deep..." line could again refer to the wrist slitting. If not, maybe he felt the love so deeply that he couldn't even make a sound.
"And it's all that I've got
Yeah, it's all that I've got
Yeah, It's all that I've got
It's all that I've got
It's all that I've got
It's all that I've got!"
All the memories of her, which he can relive while asleep, and the new ones he makes in his unconscious state, are everything that he has. Their love is so strong. Nothing else matters, including living.
Now, that is what I got out of the song. Anyone care to build on this? I'd love that.
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me off guard/red handed.
Now, I'm far from lonely; asleep, I still see you lying next to me.
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me...
I...
The pain is so impossibly deep that he neither bled nor was he caught off guard. Only when he's asleep does he see whatever he lost being next to him, thus he's far from lonely while asleep. "Far from lonely" is therefore a reference to his being asleep, the state he now seeks.
I need something else, would someone please just give me?
Hit me, knock me out and let me go back to sleep.
I can laugh, all I want inside. I still am empty.
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me...
I...
He doesn't like the way things are, he'd rather go back to sleep where he can laugh, which is all he really wants. But, of course, it's not reality and thus he's still empty even while asleep.
I'll be just fine pretending.
I'm not.
I'm far from lonely and it's all that I've got.
Although he's not fine, he can pretend he is when he's asleep. Sleep (when he's "far from lonely") is all he has.
I guess I remember every glance you shot me.
Unharmed, I'm losing weight and some body heat.
I squoze so hard I stopped your heart from beating.
So deep that I didn't even scream. Fuck me.
I...
The most misunderstood verse. They were so close that he remembers every last glance, though he's reluctant to reminisce on lost love, thus "I guess". Although he's physically unharmed (didn't bleed, wasn't caught with red hands), the trauma is enough to cause heat loss (shock) and weight loss (depression). Squeezing so hard he stopped the heart from beating is a direct metaphor for "loving something to death", suggesting also that the death was inevitable BECAUSE HE loved it/her so much. The pain was so powerful he couldn't even scream, thus "fuck me" (fuck my life).
"So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me".
No secret that there are many people out there that cut when they are depressed. Well, deep cuts usually bleed very little and actually tend to hurt less. They will be more sore while healing but the initial sting isn't the same as a small cut that will sting like crazy and bleed a lot more. I'm not talking out of my ass here, these are facts. So even though he cut so deep because he was that upset he got nothing therapeutic from it. Yes, many find pain and even the sight of their blood therapeutic.
"I'll be just fine, pretending I'm not,
I'm far from lonely and it's all that I've got."
Although he feels very depressed he will be just fine, but he wants someone to notice that he is hurting. He is longing for a deep connection with another person. He says I'm far from lonely, I take that to mean he has a lot of friends and family surrounding him but feeling lonely and miserable is all he feels. All though there are many people that care, he can't feel it. All he can feel is isolated from all of them, because again he lacks the deep connection he desperately needs. It's not so much a cry for pity as much as a desperate need for someone to understand the level of solitude he feels. He sees everyone around him happy and fulfilled, and while he knows that they care, they don't understand him. They don't see the "Sad sorry selfish cry out to the cutter. Cutting trying to picture your black broken heart." Another song obviously, but I feel they are likely written with the same emotions in mind. While it is a sad sorry selfish cry attempt at the connection he seeks with others to make them understand it's still all that he's got.
I won't continue further because I think that pretty much sums up my view on this. I may be wrong, but I kind of doubt here. Bert has most definitely been a cutter and used self mutilation as a coping mechanism, his metaphors relating to far too deep to have never felt it. You can't write about something so intensely without ever having felt it.
Just one last note
"Unharmed I'm losing weight and some body heat"
What he's doing isn't really hurting, it's not life threatening really, but it does effect him physically. He doesn't truly desire to die, but as he pushes harder and harder for that connection he maybe feels lightheaded or something from blood loss. He doesn't intend to die, but he needs the mutilation more and more because he still hasn't found the connection. He's unharmed, but as he gets braver and more comfortable with what he is doing he may harm himself later.
