Cut Me Mick
Yellowcard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I might lose this year
I can't get through December
And you know all my fears
Some place somewhere behind me
I walked right through the truth
The truth is that you're the one thing
That always pulls me through
This troubled life I choose
You are the one that I need
You know that I can still bleed
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
You bring me down from my cloud
You keep my feet on the ground
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
When I thought that I might be invincible
It wasn't long before I was invisible
To your eyes, and I swear
There's nothing left in here
And the more you say you don't care
The more I know you're there
You are the one that I need
You know that I can still bleed
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
You bring me down from my cloud
You keep my feet on the ground
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
I can't keep this together
(You are the one that I need)
I can't stay sick forever
(You know that I can still bleed)
I can't stop this disaster
(You bring me down from my cloud)
I can't fall any faster
You are the one that I need
You know that I can still bleed
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
You are the one that I need
You know that I can still bleed
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
You bring me down from my cloud
You keep my feet on the ground
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
You are the one that I need
You know that I can still bleed
You bring me down from my cloud
You keep my feet on the ground
The lyrics of Yellowcard's song "Cut Me Mick" speak about the struggles of the singer's life, particularly the difficulties he faces during the month of December. He feels like he is falling apart and might lose it at any moment. However, there is one person who always pulls him through - the person he needs and depends on. The singer acknowledges that this person knows all his fears and can make him come back to life when he feels down.
The second verse speaks about the singer's feelings of vulnerability and how his dependence on the other person makes him visible again. He feels like he is nothing without this person, and even when they say they don't care, he knows they are there. The chorus is a repetition of how the other person keeps him grounded and pulls him back to life.
Overall, the song is a plea for help, a cry for someone to save the singer from falling apart. It conveys a sense of desperation and the need for someone to take care of the singer when he is unable to do it himself.
