But notice the way he says it: 'I am a little bit.' So, it's not like he's saying 'I'm sad' it's more of like 'sad's who I am I'm a sad type of person'. He feels lonely, like he's being ignored, like no one's caring about him, etc. 'I am a little bit of loneliness a little bit of disregard'

Wow, mine's a bit different than the rest, bear with me: If you don't 'fit in' or if people feel they can't use you/get something out of you, they will just ignore you, and treat you like you don't exist. Last, but not least, this song also shows how utterly cold our world and society is. It's true a high school, or even adults / 'grown ups' in their 20s-60s and beyond can try to destroy your reputation. I agree with some of the other posts I saw in here. The chorus and bridge represent the cure to being faint (weak/passive/dizzy). The verses express the mental attitude of being 'Faint.' Even though it's very honest, it is passive. He is saying DON'T turn your back on me I WON'T be ignored. He does not say, 'turn your back like you always do.' No. The parts sang by Chester, again, are almost the opposite of the rapped verses.

'Face away and pretend that I'm not,' - pretend I don't even exist, pretend my accomplishments, talents, and pursuits are all worthless. It's like ostracized and excluding someone just because they don't fit in, or someone has tried to black ball them. No one will even 'here me out.' Their minds are already made up. 'I've never had a doubt.' Remember - the scars were apparent - 'everyone can see these scars.' Even when you won't say it, I know what it is without doubt. But he knows all along what their problem is. Like they mock his damaged reputation, but won't admit in front of him. Think about the 'scars' mentioned earlier. They just plot behind his back, or talk in secret. Now here is a very interesting line: 'I am what you never wanna say, but I've never had a doubt.' This means that the people who ignore him or are treating him wrongly don't say it to his face. Even if you cannot comprehend my actions, I am trying to do what is right. 'You don't understand I do what I can but sometimes I don't make sense,' is essentially saying that I'm trying as hard as I can. I'm not going to passively let you shut me out. The only way to truly heal your ignoring of me is to face me. There is no amount of time that can heal this. Unlike the verse, which, was very honest, yet passive, the lyrics become more active: I don't want to feel like this anymore, treated like I'm invisible. Then the chorus comes in, which is a little different. Go for it.Д«ut even though you have treated me horribly, turned your back on me, and rejected me - I'm the bigger man - and I'll be here for you, even though you weren't there for me. I'm finished with trying to convince you. 'So I let go,' meaning, hey, fine, whatever, I'll let you make the decision to despise, hate, ignore me, and treat me like I don't even exist. It's like an automatic rejection, despite any effort whatsoever. It doesn't seem to matter what he does, any good deeds, accomplishments, acting friendly, displaying talent, etc - No one around him has any faith in him. These scars could represent any reputation damaging incident. His flaws are easy to spot, or the social scene thinks badly of him. He feels like people can easily complain at all of his shortcomings - 'scars' - that are apparent. The main characteristics used to describe his being Faint are: feeling lonely, feeling disregarded (ignored), insecure and unconfident. When Chester is talking about, 'I can't feel the way I did before,' the feeling he is speaking of is summed up in the word Faint. Faint means feeble, weak, dizzy, lacking courage. The song title itself, 'Faint,' is a dead give away of the meaning. The lyrics are talking about some serious issues that many of us feel day to day. To begin, I would like to say this is an excellent song.
