Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cannot show my face
How could it be
There's anyone like me
They leave me far behind
I think they must be blind
No one can see
How can you treat the world this way
Watch others suffer while you play
You stare with pure insanity
You missed what's really inside me
I pass into the other side
Where there is nothing left to hide
And I can roam and wander free
I think I found eternity

The opening lines say "I feel so out of place, I cannot show my face," this shows a lack of self-confidence and fear of rejection. The singer wonders how anyone could be like her, suggesting that she believes nobody could understand or relate to her.
The next verse talks about feeling left behind and that nobody sees her. The lyrics "It's like they stare through me" suggests that the singer feels ignored and misunderstood. The lyrics touch on themes of loneliness, isolation, and feeling ignored by society. The pre-chorus speaks of people who watch others suffer while they play, suggesting that the singer feels that there is a lack of empathy in society.
