Is No Way About Severe Depression/Suicidal Thoughts?

I searched, there were discussion of how great the song is,
but did not see what's the meaning of it.
"Here's a token for my openness
of my need not to disappear
How I'm feeling, so revealing to me
I found my mind too clear
I just need someone to be there for.. me
I just want someone to be there for.. me

...'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way
'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way"


Is it about someone who is severely depress and thinking of suicide?
or am I not even in the same ball park with this.

    sounds to me like it's a about our Electoral Process, being an activist and giving up, and not being Represented by our Elected Officials

    that's just my opinion, all songs are open for various interpretation

    that's what I love about PJ.......

    Activism was my first thought,
    but the more I listen to it,
    I took it to a different definition.

    I really agree with you there.. i at least think that its about activism , trying to change things.. something along those lines
  • Stone wrote No Way.

    Little known fact: Ed actually added the words "No way" to the verse.

    Stone's lyrics were, "I'll stop trying to make a difference."

    Ed added the "No way," so he could feel right about singing it.

    True story.
