M.E.
Wand Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And M.E. I eat dust
We're all so run down
I'd call it my death
But I'll only fade away
And I hate to fade alone
Now there's only M.E.

We were so sure
We were so wrong
Now it's over
But there's no one left to see
And there's no one left to die
There's only M.E.

Why should I care
Why should I try
Oh no, oh no
I turned off the pain




Like I turned off you all
Now there's only M.E.

Line by Line Meaning

And M.E. I eat dust
I am insignificant and forgotten, left to consume dirt and debris as I crumble away


We're all so run down
All of us are tired, broken, and defeated


I'd call it my death
I feel like I am already dead, as though my spirit has already departed from this world


But I'll only fade away
Instead of experiencing an abrupt end, I will simply disappear slowly into the void, like a ghostly apparition


And I hate to fade alone
I don't want to vanish into oblivion without anybody by my side


Now there's only M.E.
I am the only one left, completely on my own


We were so sure
We were confident and certain in our beliefs


We were so wrong
Despite our confidence, we were ultimately mistaken and misguided


Now it's over
Everything has come to an end, with no hope of revival or resuscitation


But there's no one left to see
There is nobody around to bear witness to the end of our dreams


And there's no one left to die
There is nobody who had to experience the final demise alongside us


There's only M.E.
I am alone and bereft of companionship, with nothing but my own thoughts


Why should I care
What is the point of caring and expending emotional energy when everything ultimately comes to an end?


Why should I try
What is the point of trying when there is no chance of success?


Oh no, oh no
The realization of the futility of my efforts hits me deeply


I turned off the pain
I have numbed my feelings and emotions, feeling nothing at all or else I can't bare them, which causes me to shut them out


Like I turned off you all
Just like I've disconnected myself from my own pain, I disconnected myself from the outside world, leaving everyone behind for me to face things all by myself


Now there's only M.E.
Alone and feeling misunderstood, with no one else to rely on or care for. Truly there's only Me
