I think Adam is talking about overdose(knowing he had problem with drugs) as he say:

"was it all too much?"

But he doesn't want to die, as he say in the chorus, and he's asking for help.

"I will not die
I'll wait here for you
I feel alive
when you're beside me"

He's sure that the person he's waiting for can save him just staying beside him.

I think also he's speaking about two different situations as he say first:
"on the ground I lay
motionless, in pain"
and then:
"On this bed I lay
loosing everything"

Maybe you could give a better interpretation than mine(which is sooo confused!). Anyway, I really like Three Days Grace.

This is just what I thought of when I looked at the lyrics. So if you don't think it's right, post what you think.

"On the ground I lay, Motionless in pain, I can see my life flashing before my eyes. Did I fall asleep? Is this all a dream? Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare."

The narrator (presumably male, there is a possibility that the narrator is female) is dying, maybe from a fight or a long-term disease. As he is dying, he looks back on his life, amazed it went past so fast, as if in a dream. He doesn't want to die, and hopes to wake from the "nightmare".

Chorus:
"I will not die, I'll wait here for you. I feel alive, when you're beside me. I will not die, I'll wait here for you in my time of dying."

The man resolves that he won't die, because he's waiting for someone (might be his true love or best friend). He's waiting for this person to come as he is on the brink of death.

"On this bed I lay, losing everything. I can see my life passing me by. Was it all too much? Or just not enough? Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare."

Maybe a hospital bed? Because he is dying and no one is there it feels like he is "losing everything". Life passed him by and he's not sure if the things he did were right or wrong. Once again, he hopes it is just a "nightmare".

And then the chorus repeats.

I think the song song is showing a person who has not really lived life to the fullest. He regrets and wishes things were different and that the people that he love are with him for the rest of his life.

Theme of song: Live and love?
