I need this to get me through
Can't resist and don't want to
Believe it I know it's true
I can't beat and don't want to try
Perfect hell
It's more to me than you ever will know
Down here where the rest of us fell
Waste away with nothing left to show
While I'm in this perfect hell
Obsession has begun
Possessed by destruction
How did I get so low
Believe me no one knows
Sometimes I can't hold on
And no one can help me
[Chorus]
Now it's got a hold of me
I don't think I can make it through this
Now it's got a hold of me
The less I do the more it makes no sense
I'm walking pollution who's drained by delusions
On the verge of destruction I cave in to abduction
Thin blood I'm bleeding my pulse won't stop racing
Just as my heart explodes
No chance that I could win
Too hard to not give in
I just don't feel the same
Cause I'm the one to blame
Sometimes I can't hold on
And no one can help me
[Chorus]
I need this to be myself
It feels like I need some help
It's too late to save myself
Or it's just in my head
[Chorus: x2]
Can't resist and don't want to
Believe it I know it's true
I can't beat and don't want to try
Perfect hell
It's more to me than you ever will know
Down here where the rest of us fell
Waste away with nothing left to show
While I'm in this perfect hell
Obsession has begun
Possessed by destruction
How did I get so low
Believe me no one knows
Sometimes I can't hold on
And no one can help me
[Chorus]
Now it's got a hold of me
I don't think I can make it through this
Now it's got a hold of me
The less I do the more it makes no sense
I'm walking pollution who's drained by delusions
On the verge of destruction I cave in to abduction
Thin blood I'm bleeding my pulse won't stop racing
Just as my heart explodes
No chance that I could win
Too hard to not give in
I just don't feel the same
Cause I'm the one to blame
Sometimes I can't hold on
And no one can help me
[Chorus]
I need this to be myself
It feels like I need some help
It's too late to save myself
Or it's just in my head
[Chorus: x2]

( I need this to, get me through,
can't resist, don't want to, believe it
don't want to try )
Our government so unethically, falsely advertises these misleading material objects as if they are needed, and appealing, & even though people are aware, it's hard to shake the embedded consumer label applied to us, slowly inverting our values as a whole. We must have a TV, a big house, an expensive car. . . Why? (No change that I could win, too hard to not give in) is saying how the advertising is everywhere and people are now so dependent on everything material to live their daily lives.
"There's more to me then you ever will know,
down here where the rest of us fell,
Waste away, nothing left to show
I'M IN THE PERFECT HELL! "
These lyrics are saying that the "perfect hell" is a place where nobody is themselves. What they value and want is controlled by the media, government and people are judged by what they have, buy, wear and eat. It's disgusting and the children are targeted in marketing things because they are so easily manipulated. Society is made up of walking zombies who wake up, go to work to make money just to hand it back over to the unethical people with power. We buy, consume and then Go home stare at out televisions we paid for so we are silenced and we eat their chemically treated foods like it nothing and don't even care. ( Giving in )
( Waste away nothing left to show ) is saying that people are becoming equal in terms of what we are. We all wear the same clothes, nobody is different and real values, character and personalities are harder and harder to see with each passing generation.
( Obsession had begun, possessed by destruction ) people will do anything for money, even if it involves harming people and our environment. Think about material products you purchase as a consumer and where the packaging actually ends up over time, and how much of it there really is from every person who buys things they think they need. Knocking down forests because it is more economically useful to construct a mall in it's place. We are blindly obsessed with money. Think about the resources we are repeating and the factory pollution, and the worker treatment it takes to produce one Ipod.
( I'm walking pollution, who's drained by delusions. On the verge of destruction, I cave into abduction )
Caving into abduction is the " giving in " to the unethical and un-environmental friendly obsession with these things we think we need as a society. Everyone does it, but technology is so rapidly advancing that we all now have call phones when we are seven years old. What the hell!?!?
( I need this to be myself, Feels like I need some help, It's too late to save myself, or it's just in my head )
I need to do my makeup every day. Can't leave the house without it, even if it's just a thin layer of eyeliner or something, I have too look nice have nice clothes, and I obviously need a car to get to work. (I need this to be myself)
Deryck sounds so sexy at the beginning,,

For me it was cutting.
other it's different.
my account use to be PunkWillNeverDie.
i dont cut anymore
thanks to this song, of course.
Now that I've gotten that out, this song (if not for the title) did not catch my attention like all the other Sum 41 songs do. The lyrics were skimmed, overlooked, and passed for just another song. Had it not been for the title, I wouldn't have even given it a second glance.
Let's just say the title makes the song.
Angels With Dirty Faces.
To maloga: cutting refers to self-inflicted pain. Particularly cutting the wrist. People call it emo, but that isn't always true. People call me emo, but I don't like to think of myself that way. I'm just too disturbed for my own good.
