Guys, this is retarded. The song is NOT about self-mutilation or pain of life. Adam Gontier was addicted to OxyContin. Not only this song but the entire album is about his rehab.
It's All Over - Him probably overdosing and realizing "Oh, shit...This shit's gonna kill me quickly." "And now your dead inside....When your on the edge and falling off
Pain - This is talking about his Rehab, told from one of the doctors or assistants. "You're sick of feeling numb/You're not the only one/I'll take you by the hand/And I'll show you a world that you can understand" He doesn't like feeling numb to the world and the narrator is NOT Gontier but one of the Rehab assistants talking to Adam (You)
"This life is filled with hurt/When happiness doesn't work/Trust me and take my hand/When the lights go out you will understand" again, this is the assistant talking to Adam
"I know, I know that you're wounded/You know, you know that I'm here to save you/You know, you know I'm always here for you/I know, I know that you'll thank me later" Even though Adam's struggling fighting off the addiction, the assistant's helping and consolodating him for a better future.
Animal I Have Become - This is kinda a lead into Never Too Late. Adam's thinking that his addiction has made him an animal
Never Too Late - This is about how he was feeling almost suicidal and the rehab assistants helping with his depression
On My Own - Talking about a lover that Adam was with before he got into Rehab and how she felt about his addiction and she eventually kicked him out because of it and he's got nowhere to call "Home"
Riot - simply a metaphore for protesting against the negative things in life, such as drug addiction
Get Out Alive - fading away is pretty much the personality fading away when high and instead of killing the pain of it with more drugs, to run from the drugs and get out of the addiction ALIVE
Let It Die - Life before the drug
Over and Over - How the drug drags you down and the supposed "Lover" in the story is the drug "I fall for you"
Time of Dying - OxyCotin addiction and pushing it away
Gone Forever - post addiction and post rehab "I feel so much better now that your gone forever"
One X - those who rose above and beat addiction and pretty much an anthem and reason for other people who are going to rehab and those who successfully completed rehab.
Seriously? Cuz I just spent a good hour reading a ton of comments on another site and responding as to what I thought - you know, in my infinite wisdom - cough..... I am trying to apply what you have said here to the lyrics of Pain.

It's so blatantly (in my mind) referring to BDSM - as was argued on the other page.... WOW! I like your comment and will most certainly contemplate that more... I did read Adam's comments on it I guess........... I'm just sorta smh at the moment. ANYway............ goin to bed - it's goin on midnight. Thanks again for your insight!
@BFMVfan965 That's exactly it. Sometimes you have to look beyond and find out who's the person behind the lyrics. This is their best album in my opinion, 'cause the previous one -when he still hadn't gone to rehab- perfectly reflected the old Gontier... and it was so dark (that's the word that comes to my mind lol).

@BFMVfan965 I agree with you. And thank you for adding meaning to other songs in One X according to your take on "Pain". Makes things a lot clearer. :)

@BFMVfan965 Even though I can agree with what you said for every song, the only one that you got a little bit wrong was Never Too Late. There was a podcast where Adam explained that the song Never Too Late was written for one of his closest friends, because his friend was saying that he couldn't find a reason to live & having thoughts about depression. So, Adam made this song for his friend to tell him that its "Not Too Late, It's Never Too Late." This means that you can still stop your choices before its too late for...
