Three Days Grace: Pain Meaning

Song Released: 2006

Pain Lyrics

Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

You're sick of feeling numb
You're not the only one
I'll take you by the hand
And I'll show you a world that you can...

   The song is about clinging to the vices that you know only hurt you while at the same time recognizing that you need to make a change and allowing someone in to help you. It's knowing that you're in a bad place and wanting to get out but for whatever reason (fear of change, self-doubt...) not being able to let go of your vice, let go of the pain. The song is pretty universal. The pain could be from anything... drugs, self-injury, love. I've experienced the latter myself. I still am. I'm with a guy that I know I don't belong with and I know I might be happier elsewhere but I just can't walk away. Even when I do... I come back. Try this... clear your head, turn on the song, close your eyes... and just listen. let the music and the lyrics bring out that pain... That feeling of knowing it's wrong and wanting to change it but still not letting go.

   Yeah I agree. Maybe the song's about emotional pain, but for me its more about the physical pain you cause to yourself in order to feel ANYTHING. Feeling pain is better than feeling nothing. It lets you know you're alive. Where it says "pain, without love" I interpret it as a reference to the simplicity of cutting. It's pure and simple pain, no emotional strings attached- it's a moment of relief (from the numbness) between you and your razor/knife/whatever...I know people who don't SI will disagree with my interpretation...

   this song is about pain being an escape from the world that people become so numb that the only way they can feel anything is through pain possibly about cutting but he's saying that everything is bad so lets feel pain which is better then anything
