Discover the story of the song > Matter – Kayak

The lyrics talk about someone who feels broken and neglected. They feel like they're carrying the weight of their struggles and their self-image is tainted. They're told that they matter and that there's hope for the future, but they don't believe it and don't think they'll make it. They wish someone else could understand their pain and remember them when they're gone. They feel defeated and think they should have been the one who didn't make it.
