Hospital for Souls Lyrics
-
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
-
This song is about his struggle with his old addictions and going through rehab for the month he was in. It was a very life changing experience that he had and he's most likely decided to write a song on it
-
This Song Seems To Be Just About Being In A Mental Facility. All The Questions Are Things That You Would Be Asked (I KNow From Experience) "How Are We On A Scale Of One To 10.?" "Can You Tell Me What You See.?" We're Gonna Try Something New Today" "How Does That Make You Feel" "Have You Ever Taken A Blade To Your Wrist.? Have You Been Skipping Meal" All These Are Things Are Sayings Oli Might've Had To Hear && This Song Was His Way Of Communicating Just That. When He Says "Hold Me Close Don't Let Go Watch Me Burn" I Can't Help It But An Image Of Either Me , Or Him , Or Some Person Pops Into My Head. I See Them Being Dropped Off At The Hospital Clinging On To The Person That Brought Them There Asking Not To Go. Saying "Don't Let Go! Hold Me Close" The "Watch Me Burn I Think Is Because It's Hell In The Hospitals.

I believe its about recovering from self harm and to let people who care about you, help you get through it. "Have you ever taken a blade to your wrist, have you been skipping meals? We're going to try something new today how does that make you feel?" I truly believe this song is about recovery.
-
I think the whole song is obviously about depression but also the things oli went through. With the lyrics 'The days are a death wish' , 'Have you ever taken a blade to your wrist' , 'Have you been skipping meals' and repeating 'I am powerless' throughout the song he's basically describing depression. Trust me I self harm, am depressed and have anorexia and this song describes how it feels so perfectly only someone who went through it themselves could depict it so well.

i alwayse thought oli had some kind of gift that could also be calleda curse depending on what you believe in. i think there is something in him being quite a huge fan myself. i just cant piont it out or explaine...i feel like he's done something -he talks about freaquently- that haunts him it seems he regrets this. i dont think there is any further way to explain myself... you'd just need to have some backround information about sertain things i guess.

I always thought 'hold me close, don't let go, watch me burn' was about someone watching him mentally 'fading away' as in falling into depression, and 'have you ever took a blade to your wrists? have you been skipping meals? were gonna try something new today, how does that make you feel?' relates to therapy, I mean, that is what they repetitively ask in therapy (believe me, i have to go at least once a week, and it sucks) so yeah
-
This song is about a person's inner struggle with depression and therapy.
-
When he says "hold me close, don't let go, watch me burn" I think he means "say goodbye to the old you and welcome a new one" since this song refers to depression a bit
-
When he says "Everybody wants to go to Heaven but nobodie wants to die, I can fear death no longer, I've died a thousand times..." I think it refers to Reincarnation
-
I think it's about a boy/girl in a mental hospital. The part where he's singing is how he feels about being there and how powerless him and his fellow peers feel to their illnesses. Then when he starts screaming, he's saying stuff that a therapist would normally ask you. So when he starts screaming, it's from the counselors point of view. I think Oliver is trying to say its hard for counselors to see their patients this way and to ask all these questions about cutting, "how you feel" and "do you wanna talk about it."
-
This song is like many other songs. Each song from each artist is mean't to mean whatever you want it to. This song could mean something different to every single person that listens to it. That's whats cool about music you can interpret the lyrics anyway you believe. For me having been through depression, eating disorder, self harm, etc. This song means a lot, because it's as if he is talking to me specificaly. But, whatever you have been through can change the song meaning and that is what musics all about. :)

'The days are a death wish' when depression hits a person even simple tasks become harder, such as getting up in the morning, I know it is never easy waking up but when a person so depressed wakes up it is so much harder to face the problems of everyday life, a person wishes they would never wake up.
I think they wrote this song to really communicate with their fans. 'Have you ever taken a blade to your wrist, or have you been skipping meals' is what some of their fans might be stuggling with and by writing this song they hope to give their fans some hope. -
i think this song is about depression. 'have you ever took a blade to your wrists? have you been skipping meals? were gonna try something new today, how does that make you feel?' suggests that he wants to help someone with depression. but he goes on to say 'hold me close, dont let go, watch me .... hold me close, dont let go, watch me Burn' indicating now he has depression too?
just my opinion, love this song its my favorite from this album
