This song analyzes depression and media addiction in teens, which can lead to suicidal thoughts and actions.

Lyrics:
Listen to the music; bump it till ya go to sleep.
Let the real world fade, let yourself fall deep.
It's a crazy feeling, something you won't forget.
But sleeping alone tonight is something you'll regret.
To you it seems like life has always been unfair.
But in your world, your world, everyone seems to care.
So you stay there, stay there, all hours of the night
But these monsters don't go away when you enter the light. It's like:
Put the headphones in so you don't hear the silence.
It hurts to see people, so you close those eyelids.
Bob your head to the drums and tap your foot to the bass.
Soon, if you focus enough, you'll be outta this place.
The beat is what soothes you when you're getting depressed.
So you turn up the volume, take your time getting dressed.
You head out to school but it's just like every other day.
But if people listen close, then they'll hear you say:

I drift away, I put my headphones on
Cause what doesn't kill me it just makes strong
And I'm not a quitter I prefer not to stop
So play my music like a music box

Headphones in your ears like every other morning
If you didn't have an iPod, life would be torment.
Got all of the new albums, days before they come out
You torrent that shit boy, doesn't matter the amount.
You don't care about fitting in, and ain't got to many friends.
But everyone that you do got plans to stay till the end.
Behind the long hair nobody cares to look at you.
In your mind though are plans of everything that you'll do.
It's kind of funny how you don't like to talk at all.
But when you pick up a pen, you won't ever let it fall.
Because you the writer that no one really knows about.
Won't dare show anything to the public, you're too proud.
Everyday though it all seems to go exactly like this.
And every single night you end up feeling like shit.
You're a work in progress, a half empty cup
But I guess that we all got a little clean up

I drift away, I put my headphones on
Cause what doesn't kill me it just makes strong
And I'm not a quitter I prefer not to stop
So play my music like a music box

Tick-tock, tick-tock the clock on the wall goes tick-tock.
Every last minute on your wrist watch goes tick-tock, tick tock.
You make out a beat and can follow it nonstop.
You make out a beat and can follow it nonstop.
We'll play, we'll play, we'll play, we'll play, we'll play your music like a music box.

@MikelWJExtras Well, its the truth isnt it?

Half the world needs an escape from everything becuase

half the world gives them hell over tiny things.

Honestly, I like your music. Its real. Its not about sex and drugs.

Its about life. Not about being famous and having 231232424 hoes and getting high.

Jus sayin'. But thats only my opinion. (:

[TheFadedFate]

@MikelWJ I love this song. It is my life, my everything. Music saves us. Music saved me. Ecspecially your music.

WHEN you're famous *which WILL be soon, no doubt* I'll be able to look at you and tell my friend, "That's the guy who saved my life."
