Once more, I'll say goodbye to you
Things happen, but we don't really know why
If it's supposed to be like this
Why do most of us ignore the chance to miss?

Oh yeah

Torn apart at the seams and my dreams turn to tears
I'm not feeling this situation
Run away, try to find a safe place to hide
It's the best place to be when you're feeling like
Me, me, yeah, yeah
All these things I hate revolve around
Me, me, yeah, yeah
Just back off before I snap

Once more you tell those lies to me
Why can't you just be straight up with honesty?
When you say those things in my ear
Why do you always tell me what you wanna hear?

Oh yeah

Wear your heart on your sleeve, make things hard to believe
I'm not feeling this situation
Run away, try to find a safe place to hide
It's the best place to be when you're feeling like
Me, me, yeah, yeah
All these things I hate revolve around
Me, me, yeah, yeah
Just back off before I snap, and you'll see
Me, me, me
All these things I hate revolve around
Me, me, yeah, yeah
Just back off before I snap

Torn apart at the seams are my dreams to the tears
I'm not feeling this situation
Run away, try to find a safe place to hide
It's the best place to be when you're feeling like me

It's the best place to be when you're
Me, me, yeah, yeah
All these things I hate revolve around
Me, me, yeah, yeah
Just back off before I snap, and you'll see
Me, me, all these things I hate revolve around
Me, me, yeah, yeah
Just back off before I snap

    My Interpretation:After I watched the video the lyrics made more since.
    (my interpretation) *NOT IN ANY ORDER*
    Something happened to INSERT NAME that they feel that they could of prevented before it happened. And ever since that occurred that's all that's in their mind

    General Comment:What a good song. I've been making a story and the song is going to be the theme of it because it is the story of a boy who was dragged in a war not even he could understand and will be forced to distance himself from the ones he love so they won't get killed.

    My Interpretation:You guys got it all wrong. It isn't about a relationship - that is what made the song.
    Matt and his girlfriend were basically going to different colleges and wouldn't see eachother for years.
    That's what matt felt like when that happened though. It isn't about a relationship. It's about the feeling someone has when they hate everything thats around them and they know that they dont have to deal with it. This song isn't confusing. It's straight up. Most of you probably live happy lives and dont understand. I come from a christian family. The rules are tight. I hate everything about it. To make matters worse my mom just had me break up with my girlfriend. On top of that I'm homeschooled I dont go to a public school and can't see my friends every day. The ones that I do see my mom has to approve of. It fucking sucks. This song speaks my feelings directly and completely. The speaker hates who he has to be with. The person he's speaking to doesn't get it. It's confusing and frustrating. This is exactly how I feel. I thought it would be easy to understand but I guess not. To sum things up - it's about someone who legitimately hates everything he's around, it drives him crazy, and he feels hopeless. Nobody understands him. Nobody tries. He's trying to hold it all together but things keep getting worse. That's my interpretation. I don't care if it's wrong. If it's about a relationship - then fuck it. I still say thats what it's about

    PS: Im out of the shithole in 9 months WOOO!!!!

    General Comment:For me, this is another example of a somewhat cryptic song meaning with a video that doesn't really help much unless you take some time to really analyze it...

    I believe that this song is about the girl's worries and uneasiness towards this relationship, and her nightmarish dreams don't help her feelings any. The video is of her constantly waking up and repeating the same supposed nightmare time after time, and each time she tries to save her boyfriend from dying in a car accident, failing every time. Possibly could mean no matter how hard she tries she fears losing him to some sort of terrifying situation?

    Just like any other good song, it can mean so many different things to different people... a piece worth listening to over and over.

    General Comment:soooo i watched the vid and at the end the singer is knelt by the casket sooo im thinking that he may blame himself for the death of a friend. jus my thoughts. i mean u can obviously tell the girl is like omg i shuda stoped him from leaving yet and blames herself for her bfs death. so why i think what i think is at the end hes at the casket the song title all these things i hate (revolve around me) like in the title he feels surrounded by the fact he lost some1 and he feels its his fault and he cant let it go.
