Tired
Stonesour Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Tired" by Stonesour convey the singer's mental state of being trapped in a situation that they despise. The song begins with the singer stating that they are "alive in here" and "open wide in here," indicating that they are still alive and aware. However, they then say "smulderize in here," which means to destroy slowly, indicating at the same time that they are hurting and losing themselves in their situation.


The singer acknowledges their weakness and incompleteness, saying "You say this only makes me incomplete, I'm kicked around and rendered obsolete." Even though they are aware of their limitations, they still believe that they know what they want and need, saying "Somewhere close, somewhere safe, somewhere I know, I know I'll never live in chains." They express a desire to break free from their current circumstances and seek a place where they are not trapped, sheltered, and oppressed.


The lyrics imply a significant distrust and disappointment in people as a whole. The singer says, "Lost a million times, and I won't learn, show me someone innocent, I'll show you there's no proof." They believe that all people are capable of wrongdoing and that true innocence is impossible. In the end, the singer asserts that they are "too young to care" and that they need a place where they feel close and safe, regardless of the consequences.

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
