Hollywood Undead: From The Ground Meaning

From The Ground Lyrics

[J-Dog]
I can't see because I'm starin' at a blank wall (BLANK WALL).
I can't breathe because my fuckin' thoughts are chokin' me now.
I can't grieve for the souls that are so lost (SO LOST).
I can't leave because my fuckin' self is holdin' me...

   They just talk about they dont care if they die. They accept that. So no matter how they die. It's inevitable. So fight me if you feel like this is a wrong interpretation. Besides they are also talking about cutting and suicide. Its a red night and I dont see any light! which could be interpretated that he killed himself in a bloody way. Or cut so much that he's bleeding out. And then a flat line im fucking ready to die! is well im hearing my own flatline and im gonna die. Im ready

   "I can't see because I'm starting at a blank wall (blank wall)" indicates the emptiness of this person's life, also the first indication of depressions.
   
   "I can't breathe because my fucking thoughts are choking me now"
   There is no way to find clarity anymore, as his worries and thoughts just don't let him go.
   
   "I can't grieve for the souls that are so lost (so lost)"
   He is aware of him not being the only person feeling this way, however it is too painful to grieve, as there is no way to help them.
   
   "I can't leave because my fucking self is holding me down"
   He wants to change, move on and "get up" from the ground, however he himself is holding himself back.
   
   "Imagine cold hands up to your throat"
   The cold hands indicate that dead people or rather "death" himself can kill him at any time.
   
   "The thought alone makes you swallow your hope"
   It is natural to give up hope, if you know that someone has a gun to your head and can pull the trigger at any time.
   
   "And now it's harder to cope"
   Once the insanity started, it becomes impossible to cope with. It is something that can no longer be ignored. The beginning of the depressions can easily be mistaken as just a "bad day", so you can cope with it by being socially more active for example, however there is no way to cope with insanity, as everything is panic and anxiety provoking.
   
   "And I don't know where I'll go"
   The insanity does not let him escape, thus there is no place for retreat anymore.
   
   "These fallacies I don't believe, and fear that nobody knows"
   
   
   "It's a red night, and I don't see any light
   And then a flat line, I'm fucking ready to die!"
   "Red night" can also translate into a "bloody" night indication murder or in this case "suicide". Being incapable to see any light can be interpreted in two different ways. Firstly everything turns black when you are dying and secondly there is no more hope, thus there is no more light that shows him the way to go.
   The flat line indicates that the heart shows no electrical activity, hence the person just died. The last 5 words "I'm fucking ready to die!" are self explanatory.
   
   "As I look up from the ground
   I see darkness all around"
   Shortly before the person's death he looks up once again laying on the floor and sees nothing at all. I would argue that one can perceive darkness, but can't actually "see" it.
   
   "And I am lost but can be found inside my mind
   Goodbye"
   He is still able to think, but no longer able to communicate. His "body" is dead, but during the last few moments he is still able to think, until eventually he says "goodbye" to this world.
   
   "And I'm lost but can be found up in the sky
   Goodbye"
   The person is dead and he can no longer be found on earth, as he now is in heaven.
   
   "Watch as we all fall apart
   We all fall apart
   We all fall apart"
   This part has a very rapid pace and high volume! It gets the listener out of the depressive ending of the person's life or even the "story" and provokes the listener with "Watch as we all fall apart". It explains why the story was said in the first place. The story puts the listener right next to the suicidal person, from the beginning of his depressions to the end. The story elaborates how someone with depressions eventually becomes insane and lastly kills himself.
   
   2nd part coming soon

   i think this song deals with a person who has kind of a depression. the two singers J-Dog and Danny represent the different moods that people in a depression go through. J-Dog sings very aggressive which represents the anger of those people who even think about killing themselves violently while Danny stands for the other mood: he sings calmly and represents the manic depressive mood
   
   to sum it up, it can be said that the singers represent the bipolar feelings of depressed people with their way of singing (J- Dog= agressive, Danny= hopeless)
