Try to listen
I'll do my best to free you from this prison
Why won't you see this ain't a competition
The words I speak to you don't matter at all
It's like punching a wall
It's like you're
Falling away from me but still sticking around
To witness my misery as I hit the ground
The more I hold on to you the more you let go
Can you even tell at all the feeling is mutual
I tried to listen
But all you're giving me is opposition
Bringing to life my darkest premonition
The words I speak to you don't matter at all
It's like punching a wall
It's like you're
Where have all our memories gone?
Casting aside everything you depend on
How can I finally make you see
That none of us here is your enemy?
I tried to listen
But all you're giving me is opposition
Bringing to life my darkest premonition
The words I speak to you don't matter at all
It's like punching a wall
It's like you're
Break free of this prison
Why don't you try to listen?
You know I try to be
The one to keep you hanging on
But with every choice you make
There's another heart you seem to break
Along the way
I've come to see
I start to share your misery
So if you can then forgive me
For losing touch with who we used to be
Who we used to be
I tried to listen
But all you're giving me is opposition
Bringing to life my darkest premonition
The words I speak to you don't matter at all
It's like punching a wall
It's like you're
The cycle repeats
And all my words fall on deaf ears
They fall on deaf ears
I need you to know what I'm thinking about
This is the last I'm reaching out
This is the last I'm reaching out
Try to listen
Try to listen
Opposition
Premonition
We don't matter at all
We're just watching you fall
Why don't you
Try to listen

In the song you find yourself in the outside perspective of the topic dealt with in 'Strung Out'. Helplessly you have to watch how a person close to you gets further and further away. You try to listen "[...]I try to listen[...]" but all you achieve is the opposite "[...]but all you're giving me is op- position[...]".
