Scream
Y Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been living inside my head for far too long
I keep staring at the same four walls and singing songs
But nobody hears me
I've been glaring at the face in the mirror and finding flaws
I don't need a knife I'm like a wild beast with sharpened claws
But nobody hears me

Scream like I'm never gonna get out
Scream till my lungs give out
I'm losing this battle with the monster that's inside of me
I'll scream like I'm never gonna get out
Scream till my lungs give out
Trapped behind these walls I'm gonna scream until I watch them fall

I've been feeling like a slave to the voice inside my head
Dancing like a marionette, wooden eyes and words unsaid
So nobody hears me
Can't speak, can't weep just watching my life slip by
Nobody knows that it's got control so I live a lie
And nobody hears me

Scream like I'm never gonna get out
Scream till my lungs give out
I'm losing this battle with the monster that's inside of me
I'll scream like I'm never gonna get out
Scream till my lungs give out
Trapped behind these walls I'm gonna scream until I watch them fall

Not good enough, not good enough now
Not good enough, not good enough now
This voice keeps talking, telling me you'll never be good enough
Never be good enough
Not good enough, you're not good enough now
Not good enough, not good enough now
Not good enough, not good enough you'll never be, never be, never be
I'm gonna scream
I'm gonna scream
I'm gonna scream...scream!





I've been living inside my head for far too long
I keep staring at these same four walls and singing songs... but nobody hears me
