The Click Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would tell you it's everything, when I'm tired and feeling sick
When it's nothing you could fix
I want you to know it's not you
Cause I will never be o.k., this I know, but that's o.k.
Cause my eyes are never shut, while my heart is wide awake
And it's all that I can do
I've got issues, I've got scars
In the colors just like yours
I was broken right from the start
I'm not different than you are
I'm not perfect, I'm perfectly flawed
And my scratches don't hurt much at all
But just like you, I've got issues
There were smiles, there were tears, there were times through the years
When I could not remember yesterday, everything's like a blurr,
It looses me round the curve
I'm always in a high speed chase
And I'm tryna get control using everything I know
But nothing seems to work, we'll never catch it
This I'm sure, and I will not forget you've been with me
Step by step
I've got issues, I've got scars
In the colors just like yours
I was broken right from the start
I'm not different than you are
I'm not perfect, I'm perfectly flawed
And my scratches don't hurt much at all
But just like you, I've got issues
Am I in hell, cause I don't understand
Is this what they say it is, to be human
And these bandages I wear to keep out the cold
I tell them that I never know
I've got issues, I've got scars
In the colors just like yours
I was broken right from the start
I'm not different than you are
I'm not perfect, I'm perfectly flawed
And my scratches don't hurt much at all
But just like you, I've got issues

The lyrics speak to the idea that everyone has their own inner demons and problems to deal with. The singer shares their own personal struggles, admitting that they’ll never be okay, but that it’s okay that they won’t be. They are constantly fighting to regain control over their life, but no matter how much they try, they feel like they can’t get ahead. In the end, they acknowledge that they, just like everyone else, have issues and scars, but they are not alone in this.
The theme of this song is relatable to many people as it addresses the idea that no one is perfect and that it’s okay to have flaws.

The lyrics showcase the importance of opening up to others and admitting that you need help instead of trying to fight these battles alone.

If you were to say to me, if you ask what's wrong with me
If you were to ask me what my problems are
I would tell you it's everything, when I'm tired and feeling sick
I would answer that everything is wrong with me, especially when I feel tired and unwell
When it's nothing you could fix
But I know that there are some things you cannot fix for me
I want you to know it's not you
I want you to understand that it is not your fault
Cause I will never be o.k., this I know, but that's o.k.
I accept that I will never be completely fine
Cause my eyes are never shut, while my heart is wide awake
I am always aware of what's happening around me, despite feeling broken
And it's all that I can do
This is the best I can do for now
Tell me, what else can I do?
What other options do I have?
I've got issues, I've got scars
I have problems and scars
In the colors just like yours
My problems are similar to yours
I was broken right from the start
I have been struggling since a long time
I'm not different than you are
I am not different than anyone else

My scars are not as painful as they look
But just like you, I've got issues
However, like everyone else, I also have my share of problems
There were smiles, there were tears, there were times through the years
There were happy moments, there were sad ones, and there were times that passed by
When I could not remember yesterday, everything's like a blurr,
There were times when I couldn't remember what happened the day before, everything seemed hazy
It looses me round the curve
It gets harder for me to keep going forward
I'm always in a high speed chase
I always have to keep moving, it feels like I am in a race
And I'm tryna get control using everything I know
I am trying to maintain control over my life using my knowledge and experiences
But nothing seems to work, we'll never catch it
But nothing seems to be effective, we might never completely fix the problem
This I'm sure, and I will not forget you've been with me
I am certain of this, and I won't forget that you have been there with me throughout
Am I in hell, cause I don't understand
Sometimes, I wonder if I am in a bad place because I can't comprehend it all
Is this what they say it is, to be human
Is this what it means to be human?
And these bandages I wear to keep out the cold
The things that I do to protect myself
I tell them that I never know
I tell them that I am clueless
