You
Candlebox Lyrics

Oh, you
Addressing a specific individual

It's for you
The following content is directed towards the addressed individual only

Only you
Insisting the exclusivity of the following message for the individual addressed

I'll never know, I'll never care, I'll never believe my people
The author is indifferent towards the opinions of others around him/her

I'll tell you what I say
Author is confident about what they are about to say

I'll never lie, I'll never try, I'll never cry for you people
The author will not make any extra effort for the people around him/her

I'll push you, push away
The author will distance themselves from those around him/her rather than getting closer

As you lonely people
Addressing those around the author who feel alone

Keep on runnin' 'round my door
These people seek comfort from the author

Yes, you lonely people
Reiterating the loneliness of these individuals

Keep on beggin', beg for more
These individuals keep depending on the author for comfort

And I'll cry for you, yes, I'll die for you
The author is willing to make personal sacrifices for the comfort of those around him/her

Pain in my heart it is real
The author is speaking of a genuine feeling of pain in his/her heart

And I'll tell you now how I feel inside
The author is about to reveal their true emotions

Feel in my heart, it's for you
Author's feeling is directed at the individual addressed at the beginning of the song

I'll never try, I'll never die, I'll never push for you people
The author will not exert any extra effort for those around him/her

I'll tell you how I feel
The author is about to disclose his/her real emotions

I'll tell you, yes, it's real
The author emphasizes the truthfulness of their feelings

And you lonely people
Referring to those who feel alone

Keep on passing time away
These individuals feel like they are aimlessly passing time

And I'll take everything as it comes my way
The author is willing to face whatever comes their way in life

Pushin' your pain 'round my door
These individuals come to the author for comfort and to share their pain

Is this blood on my hands all for you?
The author questions if the pain and suffering of others is their responsibility

You shiver and shudder, recovers your mother
Referencing an individual who experienced fear and sought comfort from their mother

You feel it take control
This individual is at the mercy of their emotions

Feel alive
The author is emphasizing the importance of being present

In your soul
This presence should come from within

Come around town, steal another dime, take another line
Making reference to drug abuse habits

Won't you feel it blanket your soul out of mind
The temporary relief of drugs might make this individual forget their emotions

Do another crime
Drug use might lead an individual to commit crimes

Won't you get it higher and higher, all through time
The potential for drug addiction to grow is being referred to

Don't you push your drugs in my face
The author is not interested in drug use

Yes, I feel it, feeling fine
The author rejects drugs and is seemingly more content without them

Or I'm gonna put you in your place
The author might take some action to decline drugs

Fuck you, I don't want it no more
The author is directing his/her anger towards the idea of drug use and how it doesn't add to their life in any positive way

On my own
The author does not need drugs to feel content

As I cry for you, yes, I'll die for you
The author is willing to make personal sacrifices for the comfort of those around him/her

And I'll lie for you as I die for you
The author is willing to protect the addressed individual, even if it means that he/she needs to tell lies

Fuck you, it's for you
The author values the addressed individual the most and hence is willing to do whatever it takes to protect them
