| to me, its like acceptance of the way i am, because i dont know how to change it. paranoid, broght on by my own self. feeling like everything is supposed to be upside down and isnt meant to be right side up. and becoming reclusive and more introverted, escaping contact with people to avoid the confusion it creates | |

| Personally, anyone can understand the song. But you reallly have to FEEL the song to completely know what this is. You will know, it's almost like the world stops just to listen to this song. It's about life to me. A skeleton is what holds the body up, the frame, the structure. That's what music is to me, and I'm sure it is to Lajon too. I feel music as my essence, I always finding myself "losing myself in the song again." It doesn't matter if your "far from right" with music, or if you love it too much. that song, whatever it is, when it comes on makes it all that much better. That's the skeleton song, the one that gives you a reason to get out of bed when it all feels like shit. I'm also fascinated by the second verse, I don't know Lajon's views on religion, but mine is this, there are way to many people in this day and age who have lost all faith, I don't care what you're religion, believe that there's something out there. I feel like it's on aithiesm, that second verse. It's saying we all feel alone and feel pain, but that pain that feels like there is nothing out there? Don't beat yourself to death, accept something and feel like you belong. Then all those people who bitch and whine/complain about there life. All I hear in suburbia is how much life sucks for the individual. Well "Never stop forgetting why you came to be here", with "everybody crying themselves to sleep" they need to live. We all have problems, suck it up. This song means so much to me, and please take time to read what's above, it does mean a lot to me. | |

| Yeah... I kinda agree with you but I think the most important lines of this song are "Another skeleton song, Will save my life tonight" To me this song is also about the power of making, writing, listening to music in order to release emotions. | |
