If Alanis Morrissette had sang this, it be a huge hit...but don't fret Stevie W., you are a genius none the less.

"I'm the one you always seem to read about The light inside my eyes has long gone out There's nothing left for me to say or do 'Cause all that matters disappeared when I lost you " I think this song is dedicated to his father who passed away a couple of months before the release of GFD.

Everything about this song is powerful. I for one love the bluntness of the lyrics.They emphasize the fact that the character singing the song just simply has lost the will to live and doesn't care about being poetic about it anymore. I especially love the last line, followed by the instrumental bit with a chorus. Gives me the image of a man committing suicide by falling off of a building or something to that effect. When a song is able to give you a vivid narrative picture, you know it's good.

I love everything about this song, but I hate that idiots don't let people come with negative criticism. Are you people that close minded and weak? Does someone else's opinion have to compete with your own? NO! It's just two different opinions. Who said that the positive one is worth more. Please, don't be such assholes. I can see that some phrases in these lyrics are very cliché, but my lengthy relationship with steven somehow let's me see through it. Beautiful Pop!

What an intense song. The vocals and lyrics are delivered so honestly. This is why I listen to music. (x2)

Beautiful song. I love the lyrics. I'm not usually one for lyrics, but this is different.

I'm not saying you don't have the right to state your opinion (a lot of people seem to think that way, though), but I honestly have no idea how simply having bad lyrics could possibly even come close to ruining a song. If you don't like it, that's your business, but lyrical content seems to be a pretty shallow reason.

''so who cares how good or bad the lyrics are?'' Hmm, like vaguely everyone in this shoutbox except for you? What's the point of shouts/message boards anyway if you're only allowed to utter consentient/'positive' thoughts?

I don't get how have depressive lyrics = emo = adolescent. I'm pretty sure adults feel like shit too. That aside, the song is beautiful anyway, so who cares how good or bad the lyrics are?

I don't think there's anything adolescent about writing about the banality of life and lack of purpose. If anything, this song is about getting older. The lyrics are expressed as a stream of consciousness, so I guess that's what you don't like.
