Tokio Hotel - Don't Jump Lyrics Meaning

You totally get the wrong idea about this song, and that's understandable, 'cause they hide the true meaning very well.

This song is about themselves and how they deal with being famous.

On top of the roof
The air is so cold and so calm

In the top of the famousness, everything look calm and quiet.

I say your name in silence
You don't wanna hear it right now

They real name, remember the real person behind the 'show' that they have to made for the cameras. The Bill, Tom, Georg and Gustav we see are not the real ones, just the ones that managment created.

The eyes of the city
Are counting the tears falling down
Each one a promise
Of everything you never found

They are in the spotlight, and everyone are staring at them and what they do or not. To much preassure for teenagers.

I scream into the night for you
Don't make it true
Don't jump
The lights will not guide you through
They're deceiving you
Don't jump
Don't let memories go
Of me and you
The world is down there out of view
Please don't jump

That is, they are saying to themselves, and begin to not lose on the roles that they're playing, to be real, and don't be deceiving by the money, the fame, etc. Don't let down by the managment.

You open your eyes
But you can't remember what for
The snow falls quietly
You just can't feel it no more
Somewhere out there
You lost yourself in your pain
You dream of the end
To start all over again

They're losing the sense of what are they doing. This is not just for music anymore, now this is a job, and they just wanted to go back and start again.

I don't know how long
I can hold you so strong
I don't know how long

How much time you can stand being used by the managment?

Just take my hand
Give it a chance
Don't jump

And if all that can't hold you back
I'll jump for you

Here is the thing. You can't commit suicide instead of other person, you can't carry their pain, that's just impossible, that's why this song is not about that.

'Take my hand, I will take all the bad thing about this, you just be yourself so much as you can' that's the meaning of this song, one of the members is carrying all the bad things about being in this industry, like fake a character, be on the spotlight day and night, had more job than the others.

Just like Kaulitz twins, specially Bill. And we can see the break down of him, and the whole band, when the stalkers-thing happened. Since then and now, they're just not the same TOkio Hotel.

And they thought that that could happened since this song came out.

P.S.: I know it is hard to understand, but I cant explaint very well in english, 'cause that is not my language, as you can see xP
