Get Me Through
Daughtry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’ve been hollow way too long
I know where I’m going wrong
There’s nothing I can do
I believe you can get me through
Nothing else will do
I believe you can get me through
So can you stop the bleeding?
Color blind I paint your blue sky grey
But this time you’ll shed some light on me
Just before I fade away
There’s nothing I can do
I believe you can get me through
Nothing else will do
I believe you can get me through
So can you stop the bleeding?
Get me through…
All the chances that you’re takin’
The promises that I keep breaking down
Writings on the wall
Can’t make out all the letters
But I know it’s getting better now
The writings on the wall
Get me through…
There’s nothing I can do
I believe you can get me through
Nothing else will do
I believe you can get me through
So can you stop the bleeding?
Get me through…
The lyrics to Daughtry's song "Get Me Through" are about a person who has been struggling and feeling empty for too long. The singer is seeking help from a friend or a loved one who they believe can provide hope and light in their life. The first verse starts with a cry out to those who care to know about their emptiness and acknowledges that they have been going wrong in some way, but they can't seem to make it right on their own. The chorus emphasizes their belief that the person they are reaching out to can "get them through" the pain and suffering they are experiencing.
The second verse uses a metaphor of being "colorblind" and painting the blue sky grey, meaning that the singer has been unable to see beauty and positivity in their life. This time, they hope that the person they are seeking help from can shed some light on them before they completely fade away. The bridge of the song talks about the many chances the singer's loved one has taken on them, even though they have broken promises before. The singer sees that things are getting better and that there is hope, and they want to be "got through" their struggles and pain.
In summary, the song is about someone who has been feeling empty and hollow, seeking help and comfort from someone who they believe can guide them through their pain and help them see hope and positivity in their life.
