Song lyrics
Catch your breath, 
Hit the wall, 
Scream out loud, 
As you start to crawl, 

Back in your cage, 
The only place, 
Where they will, 
Leave you alone, 

'Cause the weak will 
Seek the weaker until they've broken them, 
Could you get it back again? 
Would it be the same? 
Fulfillment to their lack of strength 
At your expense, 
Left you with no defense, 
They tore it down. 

And I have felt the same, as you I've felt the same, 
As you I've felt the same 

Locked inside, 
The only place, 
Where you feel sheltered, 
Where you feel safe, 
You lost yourself, 
In your search to find, 
Something else to hide behind, 

Cause the fearful always preyed upon your confidence, 
Did they see the consequence? 
They pushed you around? 
The arrogant build kingdoms made of the different ones, 
Breaking them 'til they've become, 
Just another crown, 

And I have felt the same, as you I've felt the same, 
As you I've felt the same, as you I've felt the same. 

Refuse to feel, 
Anything at all, 
Refuse to slip, 
Refuse to Fall, 
Can’t be weak, 
Can’t stand still, 
You watch your back, 
'Cause no one will, 

You don’t know why I had to go this far, 
Traded your worth for these scars, 
For you're only Company, 
Don’t believe the lies that they have told to you, 
Not one word was true, 
You’re alright you're alright 
You’re all right 

And I have felt the same, as you I've felt the same, 
As you I've felt the same, as you I've felt the same.

I admire this song a lot. I've been in the position of the singer on a few occasions, having to support someone who's down and broken. The song feels... kinda brave, to me at least.

Love the way the song builds to the point where the lyrics open a vein and share the pain.

Not sure if this is how its meant, but this is how I see it. The first bit he's talking about feeling hurt, feeling down, and he's saying that he the writer of this song has felt the same way. It sure feels nice to know that I'm not the only loser out there who got picked on in high school. And then of course, the end of the song, he's talking about God, sent down Jesus, and felt the same way, all the people did all this to him, crufified him, just so that we could spend all eternity with him. First its talking about being picked on for being weak and being smaller, and then its talking about being persecuted for your religion. I LOVE THIS SONG!!! Just shows that we could have a it a lot worse, at least you're not getting stuck up on a cross and crucified, just stuck in a locker for a few hours. Anyways... just my thoughts

I am sorry to inform that all of your best efforts to place the meaning of this song are wrong. This song is actually abuopt Simon Peter from the bible.

the song is great...well I was wondering why the title is "Simon" . I think that maybe it's because of the words "the same" which are in this song a lot and they can be heard very similar to "simon", am I right?

hmm... perhaps simon was just a boy who used to be picked on??
Or perhaps britney spears' Hit Me Baby One More Time is a reference to the biblical meaning of life?

Come on! Not everything has to be a refrence to the bible you guys

I like cows moooo!

And by the way it does not make sence to say that this song is about Simon Peter from the bible, Simon Peter was a fisherman, not likley that he was weak.

It would make more sence that the song was about Judas who was weak in his faith.

Cows are cool

fruitcakemm whatever your name is, its about religon, you can tell that easily, but its obvious that you arnt part of one but there's nothing wrong with it, but its about people who couldnt fit in and other people understanding, because im pretty sure everyone was bullied in some way once before. its a song almost everyone can relate to.

and Saint Peter was a follower of Jesus and a strong believer of God. im pretty sure the fact that he was a fisherman is beyond the point.

it is about simon peter. whether he was a fisherman is not the issue. he was a devoted follower of Jesus and was definatly preyed on by those who the world would lable "strong." he was viewed as weak becuase he doubted jesus. but Jesus came and saved him, leting him know "i have felt the same." and no not every song must be related to God or the Bible... but this one most definatly is. if you truely let the words reach you, it can have a last impact.
