please explain these THE USED lyrics?

''I'll be just fine, pretending i'm not

i'm far from lonely but it's all that i've got''

so, i think it's kinda stupid. maybe it would have made sense if it said 'i'm not fine pretending i am' or 'i'm lonely and it's all that i've got' but if you are fine, why would you pretend you aren't or if you are not lonely WHAT"S YOUR PROBLEM?

Update:

reggiethecokegirl, i think you did't read it or listened to it enough to realise that the song is so...not original, and the message so common and it isn't deep at all...too many emo songs to be deep.

    I think its like hmm...

    I'll be just fine (he will try to be fine) pretending I'm not (pretending hes not to get attention lol)

    I'm far from lonely but it's all that i've got (hes not lonely at all and that all he has... like people around him)

    I agree... it didn't really made any sense to me either LOL. I like the song called Taste of ink ^^

    this is one of my favorite songs. i look at it he's says lonely and he's saying that he'll be just fine pretending he's not lonely because that's all that he has. its like the only thing that he has to hold on to is pretending he is ok. you know, the fake it til you make it kind of thing.

    he will be ok.. but right now, he's not.. so he's just pretending.. but in time he will be fine.. and he's not really lonely because he does have someone.. but the person he's with is not the person he truly wants..

    how is that stupid? i think they are very real feelings that many people experience.

    It was translated from Hungarian. If I say the original words, you might understand:

    "Gnalgh yokum Ich bin Gustaff,

    Gustaff lurch az Aboundenk"

    Sorry. This is so compelling I could cry.

    Ya know sometimes lyrics are wrote for deep thinkers and you are obviously not that deep...and no that is not an insult...you just either get it or you dont!! Most musicians are very dark deep thinkers!!
