Hawthorne Heights: Ohio is for Lovers Meaning
Song Released: 2004
Ohio is for Lovers Lyrics
I know it's hard to feel like I don't care at all.
Where you are and how you feel.
With these lights of as these wheels
Keep going on and on (and on and on and on)
Slow things down or speed them up,
Not enough or way too much,...

#1 top rated interpretation:Just to make this a bit clearer, the "cut my wrists and black my eyes" line is used in a figurative meaning, like they can't live without that special someone.

#2 top rated interpretation:"Hey there, I know it's hard to feel like I don't care at all"
I interpreted this as if he was beginning to write a letter to a girl and he's trying to say that he does care about her and she shouldn't feel otherwise.
"Where you are and how you feel. With these lights off as these wheels keep rolling on and on.
Slow things down or speed them up. Not enough or way too much. How are you when I'm gone?"
I interpreted this as if he was asking where she is and how she feels and was trying to explain how he was on the road.
"and I can't make it on my own. Because my heart is in Ohio. So cut my wrists and black my eyes.
So I can fall asleep tonight, or die. Because you kill me.
You know you do, you kill me well. You like it too, and I can tell. You never stop until my final breath is gone."
This is the chorus and it seems to me that he's telling her he's not strong enough with out her ( he feels empty and alone ) and that his heart is in Ohio ( he left a part of him in Ohio -her- ) He also sings so cut my wrists and black my eyes ..meaning he wants her to get all her rage out at him for leaving.. So he can get to sleep without thinking of her. It's also explaining that she drags these things out.
"Spare me just three last words. "I love you" is all she heard.I'll wait for you, but I can't wait forever."
The girl feels like giving up on him. She's explaining that she won't just wait forever for him to come back. -

#3 top rated interpretation:Yes, Hawthorne Heights is from Ohio. But the song is about more than that. I think it's about a love interest, to be honest. "I can't make it on my own" means he needs a certain somebody, and "because my heart is in Ohio" means that person he loves lives in Ohio. Yes, this could include family, but the next part of the song is passionately violent, so it seems to speak more of a love story. "It's hard to feel like I don't care at all" is because he is trying to deny he needs this person, but he does. "So cut my wrists and black my eyes" means not a whole lot on it's own... but "Because you kill me, you know you do you kill me well, you like it too and I can tell" shows this person has either inflicted intense emotional damage on him, or it kills him that he likes this person, or perhaps they just have a rather violent love life. It may speak of a highly passionate, somewhat violent love/hate style of relationship. So while he keeps saying he doesn't need this person anymore, or it's not the controlling factor in his life, his heart screams otherwise. While he keeps saying he can't stand this person or they don't matter, he keeps coming back for more, because he needs them in his life.

The song is about a boy who confesses his undying love to a flower, and then it pokes him in the eye and becomes black. Here I am. So he cuts himself and some cool stuff. Who cares? Emmett face.

i think it is about a girl he loves in ohio but she doesn't like him back and/or dosnt want to be him cause hes always on the road and its killing him hence the "cut my wrists and black my eyes so i can fall asleep tonight or die because you kill me you know you do you kill me well you like it to and i can tell
-
this song is the best song ever...and being emo isnt even real, its just a stereotype that domb ass rednecks and preppy kids lable the kids that wear skinny jeans and listen to better music.
-
it's like he loves someone in ohio. but she doesn't want him. and she tortures him. like not physically, but emotionally.
-
Why does every single song have to be turned into an "emo" song? Emo's just a genre- it's just about being yourself. And if everyones getting so worked up about it then youre obviously not calling yourselves unique because that's what emo really is about'
-
It's about leaving there girlfriends in Ohio when they go on tour.
-
This song, to me, is about how if you miss someone so much and love them so much you feel guilty about leaving them so, in this case the people turn to cutting. This is probly no where near the real point but this is what I think so yea. Because that's why I cut is from guilt and various other things. If you want to e-mail me your input on my point of view my myspace is myspace.com/i_cant_here_you
Hope this helped.... lol -
I read on Wikipedia that all the guys were fighting with their girlfriends while on tour and this song was because they still loved their girlfriends. To the fagots who hate emos, DON'T label people who like HH, and I do like slipknot and HH YOU CAN LIKE BOTH so YOU go hang yourselves!
-
Not all emo's have perfect lives and complain about everything. maybe they r just saying fuck society today fuck designer labels fuck being blonde and popular.
yes to me this song is about someone who love someone in ohio but the person in ohio is hurting them unintentionally and causing them to suffer or "cut their wrists" -
God doesn't anyone look in the CD case? It has the meaning for all their songs...instead of making stuff up, why not just take a look?
-
Why does everything have to turn into a debate over emos? Emo is sooo overrated! I listen to this kinda music but I am not emo. And anyway Emo is a type of music genre, it's inaccurate to use it as a derogatory term for people. Not all "emo kids" cut or think of suicide. I used to have a suicidal teacher but no one called her emo! Geez!
Anyway, this song is obviously about the guys missing their gfs while on the road and stuff. The song kinda explains itself. -
They tell you what the song means, in their cd.
Just read the little booklet thingy!
So you people don't have to hurt your brains trying to figure out what the song means.
Basically like most people said already the song is about them missing their loved ones that are in ohio.
Basically they're home sick.
"Cut my wrist and black my eyes"
Part has nothing to do with the sterotype "emo"
It's just a figure of speech. -
Who says your emo if you like emo songs you mo fo I like this band and many other emo bands too so you can go talk about bitches and hoes and all of your bling bling. well if you like rap or w/e go suck it HH rules so does FOB and boys like girls etc... and to this person who said "Then you could go home cry to your rich home suburban mommies" that is just so fuckin un true ... where do you get it that emos are rich... most of the rich kids are little stuck up bastards who have great lives and get what ever they want.
