Follow Me
Pain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Good luck has never been my friend
I've always been the fool
Please don't follow shadows of mine
'Cause the time is running out for me

I walk in the path of a misfit's blood
No compass can steer my way
No light at the end of the tunnel
The time is running out for me

No gold at the end of the rainbow
No high hopes, dreams deceive

Follow me
Trouble seems to always wanna
Follow me
It has let me down so far so why don't you
Follow me
Trouble seems to always wanna
Follow me
It has let me down so far so why don't you
Follow me

I walk in the path of a misfit's blood
No compass can steer my way
No light at the end of the tunnel
The time is running out for me

No gold at the end of the rainbow
No high hopes, dreams deceive

Follow me
Trouble seems to always wanna
Follow me
It has let me down so far so why don't you
Follow me
Trouble seems to always wanna
Follow me
It has let me down so far so why don't you
Follow me

Follow me
Trouble seems to always wanna
Follow me
It has let me down so far so why don't you
Follow me
Trouble seems to always wanna
Follow me




It has let me down so far so why don't you
Follow me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pain's song Follow Me speak about the struggles and hardships of life, especially the lack of good luck that seems to haunt the singer. The singer acknowledges that they have always been a fool, someone who made poor choices or who life was unkind to. They warn others not to follow their path, as the time is running out for them. The lyrics also mention walking in the path of a misfit's blood and having no compass to steer a clear way, which suggests that the singer is lost or struggling to find direction in life. The lack of a light at the end of the tunnel further emphasizes the singer's sense of hopelessness and despair.


The repeated phrase "Follow me" may seem paradoxical when the singer is warning others not to follow their path. However, it can be interpreted as a plea for company or companionship in their struggles. The repetition of the phrase also suggests a sense of acceptance or resignation to their circumstances, as if the singer has come to expect hardship and trouble to always be a part of their life.


Overall, the lyrics to Follow Me evoke a sense of darkness and despair, but also a desire for connection and empathy from others. The singer's struggles are relatable to many people who have experienced hardships or a string of bad luck, and the song offers a message of solidarity in these struggles.
