Bully
Overcoming Pain: Unveiling the Emotional Struggles in Three Days Grace's 'Bully'
Lyrics
He wakes up haunted
He begins his day with lingering distress or troubling thoughts.
With voices in his head
He hears disturbing voices in his mind.
Nobody knows it
His struggles are hidden, known only to himself.
But today he won't go unnoticed
Today, he seeks acknowledgment and refuses to be ignored.
He can't forget
Memories haunt him, and he cannot let go.
Can't forgive for what they said
He cannot forgive the hurtful words spoken about him.
He's never been so hurt
He is experiencing profound emotional pain.
But today the screaming is over
However, today marks the end of his inner turmoil.
Blame the family
The family is blamed for his current state.
Blame the bully
The bully is held responsible for his suffering.
Blame it on me
He accepts blame for his situation.
Maybe he needed to be wanted
Perhaps, he yearned for acceptance and love.
Blame the family
The family is accused of contributing to her struggles.
Blame the bully
The bully is seen as a source of her pain.
Maybe he needed to be wanted
Similar to him, she may have craved affection.
She takes the long way home
She opts for a less direct route home, indicating internal conflict.
Fighting her emotions
She battles with her inner feelings.
She's a loner
She keeps to herself and is socially isolated.
But today she won't go unnoticed
Today, she demands recognition and refuses to be overlooked.
If she can't remember
If she cannot recall past events, especially negative ones.
When she loses her temper
Her temper is a challenge, and she struggles with it.
Nobody knows her
Her true self is unknown to others.
But tonight the silence is over
However, tonight, her silence comes to an end.
Blame the family
Responsibility is placed on the family for her troubles.
Blame the bully
The bully is held accountable for her pain.
Blame it on me
She, too, acknowledges her role in her struggles.
Maybe she needed to be wanted
Possibly, she, like him, sought love and acceptance.
Blame the family
The family is blamed for contributing to her difficulties.
Blame the bully
The bully is accused of causing her suffering.
Blame it on me
She accepts responsibility for her situation.
Maybe she needed to be wanted
Similar to him, she may have yearned for acceptance.
Blame the family
The family is held accountable for their collective issues.
Blame the bully
The bully is blamed for the pain they endure.
Blame it on me
Collectively, they accept responsibility for their circumstances.
Maybe they needed
Perhaps, they all needed understanding and compassion.
Blame the family
The family is accused of contributing to their struggles.
Blame the bully
The bully is held responsible for their shared pain.
Blame it on me
As a group, they acknowledge their role in their challenges.
Maybe they needed to be wanted
Collectively, they may have desired acceptance and love.
Wanted
They all wanted to be wanted.
