Hoobastank: The Reason Meaning
Song Released: 2003
The Reason Lyrics
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used...
-
I think this song is about someone finally admitting to themselves they have a problem and are now committing to their recovery on a much deeper level motivated by love.

I first heard this song whrn I found out i was pregnant with my oldest daughter. Im not a perfect person there's many things I wish I didn't do.. Im a recovering addict ... I fiundbavreason for me to change who i used to be a reason to start over new and the reason is you my daughter

I have heard this song many times, but today I listened to it,with my eyes closed, so as to not be distracted by the lame visual plot of the video, and my heart open to try and see if it really described my situation. Does it ever!
Last week my wife learned something very hurtful about my behavior related to sexual addiction. It was something that truly shook her and very nearly ended any and all hope for a future for us right then and there. While there are no guarantees, I do feel there is hope for us.
The song captures all my feelings....for the line about "before I go..." describes the moment last week that I kissed my wife goodbye and went to my dad's home three hours away, to give her some space. The "reason for me to start over new" and change is her, but it's also for me. I can't be the best husband for her if I can't be the best person I can be for me.
The hurt I have caused, not just to her, but to me and others overt the years from this addiction is "something I must live with every day", but through the help of Sex Addicts Anonymous, and hopefully my wife, I will "continue learning" about my addiction and the ways I can recover from it and "change who I used to be. A reason to start over new, and the reason is (me and) you! I love you! -
The Reason song, it's too clear too. Wishing you guys get back together soon. You are blessed to have a girlfriend who is willing to give you a second chance. That's awesome, you are willing to compromise with her.
-
Recently, me and my girlfriend decided to take a break, because I wasn't holding up on my end of the 'give and take' in our relation. She was really stressed, and I made a promise to better myself for her, so we could try again. I heard this song on Spotify while I was talking to her, and it hit me like a freight train once I realized what I was hearing. She is 'The Reason' in my life. She's why I'm trying to be better. And here's to hoping I manage to fix myself, for her sake.

This song is about a awakening of the heart. It's a relationship rediscovered where one has unknowingly left a lasting pain in the person they once loved only to realize much later they truly love the person and want to be with them again forever.
-
This song is personally dedicated to the front man’s band dad. Telling him he is sorry for the the things he did in the past.

Its about Jesus

I think these song is about either women or man telling the other "they are not a perfect person". That this person wants to turn around things that could matter, but maybe is to live, move forward or die and come back as someone else. "And so I have to say before I go". " A reason to start over new" "Found a reason to show a side of me you didn't know". "Sorry that I hurt you, it's something I must live with every day" All the pain I put you threw, I wish I could take it all away" And take away all your tears" Thats why I need you hear"
This is a person in pain, wants to take things back or have the other do the same,either starting life over, or trying to step away, not look back, to say goodbye. A person very depressed, thinking about what to do because of another's mistakes or there own. -
The Reason.
I've heard a ton of buzz about the meaning of the song having absolutely nothing to do with the video. In the video they pull off some sort of heist..the song however is actually about things like depression, adhd, bipolar, and other disorders damage they cause in relationships sadly aren't discovered until it's too late. -
The words resemble a plea for forgiveness and offer to mend the bridge that needs repair for all offenses we've made. I see them as a prayer and dialogue with Jesus. They inspire me to have faith and remind how hurtful we can be as humans.
-
In my opinion this song tries to transmit the powerful that love could give us, helping us fighting, continue and live. A person could be all, the main reason why we want to live. Unfortunately humans are selfish and, unconsciosly, we hurt each other although it doesn't mean that we may no love this person.
-
okay, but have any of you people seen the music video?? it's not exactly a love story.. please take it into consideration as well!
-
I believe its about a girl or a guy that has depression but has trust issues to trust someone else even though that person is the right one.
-
love this song for many reasons but most of all because it truly hits home for me but it was a little to late for me to save the relationship but the relationship did change me for the better and he is the "reason" I am a better person today
