Wow, song is the story of my life. It's by Alice in Chains.
I'm the man in the box
Buried in my shit
Won't you come and save me, save me
Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes, now you've sewn them shut
I'm the dog who gets beat
Shove my nose in shit
Won't you come and save me, save me
Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes, now you've sewn them shut
To make it a little clearer, for some who may be confused about the meaning of this song, I'm not abused (on a physical level).
"I'm the man in the box, buried in my shit" is about how I get myself into something and get trapped in it.
"feed my eyes, can you sew them shut" is about all the pain and suffering I see and even cause, and how I want it all just to go away.
"I'm the dog who gets beat, shove my nose in shit" is about how I get abused (on a mental and social level) by people, and as a result, become one of the abusers by "shoving my nose in [their] shit".
"He who tries, will be wasted", is about how rather than trying to retaliate against the abusers, I just let them do what they want, because I know that if I try, it'll be a waste.
This isn't the original meaning of the song because in an interview, the lead singer told the world that it's about animal abuse. He was out to dinner with a bunch of vegetarians and he ordered the veal. They told him that the baby cows are raised in boxes barely big enough for them, forced to live in their own shit. So in short, the song is actually about animal cruelty.

If you don't read my post BEFORE commenting, I will be forced to use on of my many illustrious torture methods previously listed to teach you a lesson (and quite possibly kille (yes, that's right, I spell kill with an E) you). SO, be careful how you comment, or there will be consequences. Mwa ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!
