The song describes feeling numb and trapped. To achieve success, the singer is willing to sacrifice friends and family and remain silent. They feel they are in hell but cannot ask for help. Their sole focus is on being number one, and they will continue climbing higher despite feeling low by shining in the darkness for a "reasonable sacrifice".

Stuck inside my Petri dish I can't breathe and I can't smile This better be worth my while
I feel numb most of the time
The lower I get the higher I'll climb And I will wonder why I got dark only to shine Looking for the golden light Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice Burn, burn, burn bright
Forego families, forego friends
It's how it started, how it ends I can't open up and cry 'Cause I've been silent all my life
I feel numb most of the time
The lower I get the higher I'll climb And I will wonder why I got dark only to shine Looking for the golden light Oh it's a reasonable sacrifice Burn, burn, burn bright Burn, burn, burn bright
Oh, I get dark oh and I'm in hell
I need a friend, oh but I can't yell Yeah, I'm no good, no good to anyone 'Cause all I care about is being number one
Shine, looking for the golden light
Oh it's a reasonable sacrifice
Shine, looking for the golden light
Oh it's a reasonable sacrifice (sacrifice)
I feel numb most of the time
The lower I get the higher I'll climb And I will wonder why I got dark only to shine And I'll light up the sky Stars that burn the brightest Fall so fast and pass you by Cough like empty lighters
I feel numb most of the time
The lower I get the higher I'll climb And I will wonder why I get dark only to shine
And I'll light up the sky
Stars that burn the brightest Fall so fast and pass you by Spark like empty lighters
