Tired
Stone Sour Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm alive in here
So alive in here
Pull it down a little peace

I'm open wide in here
Smulderize in here
Saving Grace and killing me
You say this only makes me incomplete
I'm canceled out and rendered obsolite
Tell the mad chameleon he's not welcome anymore
I know what I'm looking for

Somewhere close
Somewhere safe
Somewhere I know
I know I'll never live in chains
The one is now aware
So stay away from me
I'm just too young to care

I can see in here
And I can feel in here
Comatose with common sense

I take my time in here
Somebody get me out of here
What am I so against

I just wanna watch the whole world burn
Lost a million times and I won't learn
Show me someone innocent
I'll show you there's no proof
I may be gone but I'm no fool

I'm not close
I'm not safe
I don't know
Don't, am I better off in chains?
The one is not aware
So stay away from me
I'm just too young to care

I need somewhere close
Somewhere safe
Somewhere I know
I know I'll never live in chains
The one is now aware
So stay away from me
I'm just too young to care





Too young to care, oh oh

The theme of seeking freedom from mental and emotional chains is prevalent throughout the song, as the singer yearns for a safe and secure place where he can be himself without fear of judgment or persecution.

I'm alive in here
So alive in here
Pulling down a little peace

I'm open wide in here
Slow to rise in here
Saving grace and killing me

You say this only makes me incomplete
I'm canceled out and rendered obsolete
Tell the mad chameleon he's not welcome anymore
I know what I'm looking for

Somewhere close
Somewhere safe
Somewhere I know
I know I'll never live in chains

The one is now aware
So stay away from me
I'm just too young to care

I can see in here
And I can feel in here
Comatose with common sense
I take my time in here
Somebody get me out of here
What am I so against?

I just want to watch the whole world burn
Lost a million times and I won't learn
Show me someone innocent, I'll show you there's no proof
I may be gone but I'm no fool

I'm not close
I'm not safe
I don't know
Don't know
Am I better off in chains?

The one is not aware
So stay away from me
I'm just too young to care

I need
Somewhere close
Somewhere safe
Somewhere I know
I know I'll never live in chains

The one is now aware
So stay away from me
I'm just too young to care

Too young to care
