(here is a mental picture to help you understand the song)
The purpose of this song is to bring out what a disturbed child is feeling. Like
the ones who decide to do school shootings. Why do they do it? In this instance it is
a young girl who doesn't feel loved. She has no freinds. It isn't that she is bullied
it is that no one even knows she is there. No one notices her. She gets tired of being
a nobody and can't live with herself any longer. She feels that a choice has to be
made to end her suffering. She is about to result to suicide and can't pull it off.
She knows that if nothing is done her suffering will continue. She decides not to
take out her frustration out on herself but to release hell on others.
