THE NOVEMBERS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take one for the pain you're feelin'
'Cause it's gonna' hurt
Whether or not you're bleedin'
Am I awake?
Haven't I just been dreamin'?
I was carried away
Carried away
I remember a warm wind blowin'
And I was afraid
Cause even the walls were breathin'
Am I awake?
Haven't I just been dreamin'?
I was carried away
Carried away by them
I take one for the curse
I take one for the pain that I'm feelin'
'Cause it's gonna' hurt
It's gonna' hurt
It's gonna' hurt
It's gonna' hurt
The NOVEMBERS's song "I" appears to be about a failed attempt at redemption. The singer seems to be remorseful and trying to make amends for something they did wrong, possibly causing harm to someone else. However, it becomes clear that the other person is not willing to forgive or move on, as they are constantly fixated on their own selfishness and flaws. The singer offers a solution - a chance to learn how to love their worst characteristics - by sending them on an experience with someone they once despised. The hope is that this journey will change their perspective and lead to personal growth, but it is ultimately unclear whether this is successful or not.
The lyrics capture a sense of frustration and helplessness in trying to repair broken relationships or make up for past mistakes. The singer is aware of their own faults, but also recognizes that the other person is deeply entrenched in their own issues. The image of sending someone on a journey with someone they hate is an interesting one, as it suggests that personal growth can come from unexpected places and relationships.

Screwed my head on straight.I’ve got a piercing alibi
oh-ho-woah
I’m dull like the knife. Familiar from inside. Hoping to wade though this emotional pesticide
oh-ho-woah
It looks so familiar. We look so familiar. Don’t look so familiar
because I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE SCARS I WEAR ABOUT SO PROUD (ooo-who-who-whoo)
sooo proooud
So give me something that’s not on my list
failure to breath air, original [maybe wrong lyric idk]
I’m not breathing now,
with no help
I’m saying that I’m sorry for the weight I
Can’t put down this axe and the lumber stacks high
Still no room yet
For you to hold me close like a baby only knowing love (oooooOOOOooOooOoo)
You give me something to believe in
You give me something to believe in
(oo-who-whoo oo-who-whoo) Ooooohhooooooo
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE LOOKS. HIGH BROW IS FACING DOWN
TO THE GROUD (oo-who-whoo oo-who-whoo oo-who-whoo)
My dirty hands just turned into locked tight fists
failure to see fails
cliffs
They just lift me off the ground to help me find you somehow
These night I wait 'till the last call
When everyone’s the same, we find a way to fall
Without a drink at all
I screw my head on ztraight
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE THIN COLD AIR; NOT COMING DOWN (oo-who-whoo oo-who-whoo oo-who-whoo)
I’m never coming down
You give me something to believe in
you give me something to believe in
(oo-who-whoo oo-who-whoo oo-who-whoo)
Yeeeeeeaaaahhhhhhahaaaa
*FOR BEST RESULS SING ALONG AT FULL VOLUME
