    ------ About the song I'm A Fake performed by The Used

i am a grown adult now and since my emo days i've been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. when i was a kid, i used to listen to this song over and over, especially the beginning, i loved it so much! i just listened to it recently for the first time in a while and it is kinda scary how perfectly the lyrics capture the way it feels to look in the mirror and not feel like your thoughts and the thing staring back at you are the same entity. like cutting and observing yourself cutting at the same time, feeling like two split parts, with one of them needing pain and the other one not able to control it but still watching and thinking about it. bla bla sorry for gushing i just can't believe how good this song is.

ps i'm gonna be a purist and say there's no real question what this song is about. i hate self harm too. this song isn't pro-cutting and anyone who thinks that has probably never experienced those kinds of compulsions and will never understand.

How I see it... | Reviewer: Kay
    ------ About the song All That I've Got performed by The Used

This song confused me for the longest time...

I guess I had to read the lyrics over and over again before I thought about this... I also had some help by reading the previous reviews... Anyway, as I see it...

It seems that the one singing the song was so hurt so badly/"deep" that it didn't even catch him "off guard". One day it was ok and then BAM! Stabbed to the core that he "didn't even bleed" Shallow wounds are usually the bleeders. One moment he was alive, and then suddenly "dead". Once a person is caught off guard, he/she usually still have something to say about it. But the one singing was never even given the chance to be "caught off guard".

The part: "Asleep, I still see you lying next to me" and "Hit me, Knock me out and let me go back to sleep" indicates that only when unconscious and left to dream does everything seem alright again. It is the only moment when nothing seems to have changed which is why he prefers to be knocked out... However once awake... he has to face reality again. The next lines indicate "I can laugh all I want" says that he can still summon all the regular reactions/emotions when the situation calls for it but he knows that everything is not as it seems... He feels empty... Numb. The laughter doesn't mean anything.

"I guess I remember every glance you shot me. Unharmed, I'm losing weight and some body heat." He remembers all their moments together and although he seems okay (unharmed) he is still "losing weight and some body heat" --> essentially means, he's sort of dying.

The chorus is what confused me for a long time. "I'll be just fine, pretending I'm not. I'm far from lonely and it's all that I've got" I'm guessing, He knows that even with the emptiness that he's feeling (?), it will eventually blow over. I'm guessing he has friends who love him (I'm far from lonely), but when his girl left... the friends don't matter. He's holding on to the emptiness for now (Pretending I'm not) because right now, that's all he's got of the girl that he once had.

Did I make sense?

    ------ About the song Sound Effects And Overdramatics performed by The Used

I really love this song and enjoy reading what other fans interpretations. When you say "It's a good song. Just leave it at that, why do you need to know the meaning behind it?" Well I would say I actually would love to know what my favorite artist is going through or what is behind their lyrics/ poetry. When you think about it they (artist that write their own songs) are sharing personal experiences and feeling. Lol :) That totally makes me geek out!

History | Reviewer: Shannon
    ------ About the song On The Cross performed by The Used

If you know anything about The Used, you would know that they were brought up in an extremely Morman town in extremely Morman families. They were all eventually kicked out of their homes because of their music and their families totally turned their backs on them. They were homeless for awhile, and went on to suffer from a lot of addictions. I'm a Christian, but if my "Godly" family treated me like that, I can't say I'd want to pray either.

Addiction? | Reviewer: Anon
    ------ About the song Buried Myself Alive performed by The Used

I think this song is about addiction, it says things like:
"I think the chain broke away,
and I felt it the day that I had my own time
I took advantage of myself and felt fine.
But it was worth the night"

I think the lines that go 'I think the chain broke away, and I felt it the day that I had my own time' could mean something like, the day he was clean he felt free, he wasn't being held down by an addiction, and then the lines that go:

'I took advantage of myself and felt fine.
But it was worth the night.' Could mean that he gave into his addiction but didn't care, 'cause it felt too good and it was only one night?

I don't know, this is just my personal viewpoint.

The Truth Hurts | Reviewer: Adam
    ------ About the song On The Cross performed by The Used

This song,make NO mistake, bashes Christianity. If you are a Christian and you are "interpreting" this song how you want then you are proving why this song is right to bash it. The beginning especially should be clear, God is all loving but hates faggots,so lets kill all them because they are abominations. It basically says that in the Bible but I'm sure after some "interpreting" you can get it to say whatever you want it to. About the faith part and it takes something else, yeah, that something else is ignorance. So have faith if it makes you safe, because it's there isn't any other reason to have it, faith isn't a pathway to truth, only to ignorance.

My opinion | Reviewer: Mais Shareef
    ------ About the song Noise And Kisses performed by The Used

I think music has it's own meaning for everyone. For me it my so called best friend. The first four lines is about how I'm stating to feel that I don't need her that she's just an ass, but I shut the thought out with "whatever that means"
"My neck feels stiff untill I wake up the orange I choke" Me getting hurt In anyway and wanting to tell her but afraid shell just brush me off, which she does do. The course means that I need her I want her to open up. then I realize she's not going to and I can't help her change for the better and she's wasting my time. Then the rest is basically me always being there for her, being kind and helping and her just ignoring it and pushing me down.
