I'm not coming back
I'm not gonna react
I'm not doing shit for you
I'm not sitting around
While you're tearing it down around us
I'm not living a lie
While you swim in denial
Cause your already dead and gone
You'll leave me out on the curb
Just like everyone
Else before you

Welcome to my world
Where everyone I ever need
Always ends up leaving me alone
Another lesson burned
And I'm drowning in the ashes
Kicking
Screaming
Welcome to my world

I don't care what you think
I'm not seeing a shrink
I'm not doing this again
I'm not another
Student or a mother
To take your shit out on
So lets see what you got
And lets see what you're not
And whatever else you pretend
You've defended my intentions
Long enough

So here I am again
In the middle of the end
The choice I wish Id made
I always make too late.

    General Comment:this song is about life. never trust anyone. cuze they just might leave you out on the curb just like they may have already done to someone else. so its about meetin sumone and becomin friends, or maybe being in a relationship, and being treated like crap.

    the chorus basically says that it always happens to him.

    good song. did i miss anything???

    My Interpretation:i think its about someone who had enough hace everyone treating him badly,and everyone keeps abandoning him just when he needs them and they think hes going insane but everyone is so fake and he cant take it anymorw and hes sick of everyone and how they act.so he gets angry,but darker,colder and stronger.

    General Comment:Makes me cry every time i hear it. Best song Sick Puppies EVER sang. Best lines:
    And Im drowning in the ashes
    Kicking
    Screaming
    Welcome to my world

    I think we all have times in our lives where we feel like we're drowning in the ashes of something we lost.

    So here I am again
    In the middle of the end
    The choice I wish Id made
    I always make too late.

    General Comment:anyone who said this is about a girl is an idiot!
    it was said on an interview that this song is about people leaving you in general. not because they want to hurt your or anything like that, but the choices they made. That resulting in both you taking different paths, and maybe there path doesn't involve you.

    ^That says pretty much all about the song, it's about for whatever they reason, people he cares for and needs leaves him. Whether it's death, they went seperate ways, drifted apart, changed, ect.

    My favorite part of the song is the first few lines, I love how he says "I;m not coming back I'm not going to react I'm not doing SHIT FOR YOU. "

    And My favorite lines are

    "You'll leave me out on the curb
    Just like everyone
    Else before you"



    "While you swim in denial"

    "And lets see what you're not
    And whatever else you pretend"

    General Comment:According to Shimon "The song 'My World' is just about life, the inevitability of the people that you care about leaving, for whatever reason; not because not because they...not because they want they want to hurt you, but because that's what they have to do, whether they die, pass or you know, they move on, they move on with their life and it doesn't include you because of whatever reason, it doesn't have anything to do with you. And it's just a way of life."
