Marianas Trench – Feeling Small lyrics

Marianas Trench – Feeling Small lyrics

This one's of you taking your pills
Sometimes forget and that's okay I guess
This one's of me at my sisters wedding day

All my faces
They all were wasted

You're barely breathing I know
What if it's starting to show?
And I know it won't ever change but it hurts the same

This one's of me throwing up for you
And I'm paler still, and that's the way you wanted it
This one's of you, certain of cancer

And all my faces
They all were wasted on feeling small
You're barely breathing, I know
And now it's starting to show
And I know it won't ever change, but it hurts the same

Yeah

A fever broke somewhere behind July
And remember how I weighed 135
And we collide

All my faces
They all were wasted on feeling small
You're barely breathing, I know
And now it's starting to show
And I know it won't ever change, but it hurts the same

This one's of me, losing more weight
And feeling afraid

This one's of you taking your pills Sometimes forget and that's okay I guess This one's of me at my sisters wedding day All my faces They all were wasted You're barely breathing I know What if it's starting to show? And I know it won't ever change but it hurts the same This one's of me throwing up for you And I'm paler still, and that's the way you wanted it This one's of you, certain of cancer And all my faces They all were wasted on feeling small You're barely breathing, I know And now it's starting to show And I know it won't ever change, but it hurts the same Yeah A fever broke somewhere behind July And remember how I weighed 135 And we collide All my faces They all were wasted on feeling small You're barely breathing, I know And now it's starting to show And I know it won't ever change, but it hurts the same This one's of me, losing more weight And feeling afraid Explain Request ×

Actually I believe it is literally about "feeling small." If my memory serves me correctly Josh (along with his drug addiction) fought with anorexia; he was bulimic. From what I can tell, the song vents out the regret and guilt of his own "selfishness."
He's spent so much time and effort on becoming "thin" that he's missing out on the more important things in life. (I'm not sure how true this is to his personal life) but the protagonist of the song spent their own sister's wedding worrying about their image instead of enjoying the moment. And now that they've realized that there are more important things in life, it's too late (the sister is dying from cancer).
Through it all the sad fact remains that the mentality isn't gone, the protagonist still feels the need to lose weight.
