In "Carry Me," Hawthorne Heights reaches for rescue while shame and regret keep pulling them under. The plea to be carried toward light beneath the darkest Midwest skies turns into a wish for one final passage to where flowers go to die, a place of endings rather than renewal. Past mistakes feel alive, gnawing through sleepless nights alone with only a phone’s blue glow on a dead end road. The repeated cry becomes less a request for comfort than a surrender, asking to be borne through the last stretch of exhaustion and grief.
Carry Me Lyrics by Hawthorne Heights
Let’s go
Carry me
I gotta find some place to hide my face to get away
I wanna lose myself, a cry for help don’t hesitate
A burning hearse is just a curse a way to separate
So plug me and turn me up, I’m here to detonate
Carry me
Carry me towards the light
In the darkest Midwest skies
Carry me one last time
Where the flowers go to die
I lie awake, my past mistakes are eating me alive
All alone with just a phone and these burning eyes
On this dead end road
This blue light glow
Carry me
Carry me towards the light
In the darkest Midwest skies
Carry me one last time
Where the flowers go to die
Carry me
Carry me towards the light
In the darkest Midwest skies
Carry me one last time
Where the flowers go
Carry me
Carry me
Carry me towards the light
Carry me, the light
In the darkest Midwest skies
Carry me, carry me
Carry me one last time
Where the flowers go to die
Carry me
