I played this song when I cut my wrists after taking a bunch of pills. Now it's hard to listen to but I still like it. |

I remember singing this song with my nephew when he was a teenager and I instead of "deuce deuce" I sang "Blues Clues" and he fell on the floor laughing. WTF? I had followed Sublime, lived in SF when Bradley died and knew he had a kid. We still laugh about that. |

That's what it seems like to me. It doesn't represent one person for me, though, just the overall feeling I get when a friend dies. |

For me, this song symbolizes wanting to experience some fun with someone on your own terms - protecting yourself and not letting them know you have any value... and being ironic, clever and secretly deep and superior while inviting them to engage in this way. |

I read "House of Leaves" as well and still remain convinced that this song means "I love you, you are just fucking with me, everyone validates that, but still I wonder if you might be telling the truth." |

I love the lyrics "I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world" which speaks to me of the nostalgic longing a person has after deciding fuck it, let's just chase euphoria and die young.

Caned graffiti hit it on the head for me. It reminds me of waking up in the hospital after taking 120 ambien, 60 tylenol, and slashing my wrists. It's pretty much a feel good song now, when I hear it I just think about coming to in the ER, saying OH FUCK, this is not the afterlife, there is no relief, and starting all over again. 10 days in the hospital with the OH FUCK reverberating. I guess I am meant to die a natural death.

I love laalaalaaas comment. I think I spelled that wrong.
When my Dad died, I was a wreck. My nephew came to town 2 days later and spent the night with me before the funeral. We talked all night and he downloaded this song for me to listen to and talked about his mom (my sister) and her clinical depression and how much he wanted her to be happy. It was an unforgettable night. |

I was having an affair with this married man. A Jewish psychologist. My psychologist. He was really smart and had lots of X he said would cure my depression. I went for Christmas vacation with my ex husband and my therapist/lover called me on my cell very early one morning and told me he had just seen Vanilla Sky and realized that he was, in fact, in love with me. I was so happy and excited. Later, he was kicked out of the profession for having sex with half of his patients. One girl killed herself over him. For some reason that song always reminds me of the morning he called. |

This was the perfect song to listen to as I drove home after having wild, funny, way too passionate sex with a guy who didn't like me as much as I liked him.
I always played the "we're just friends" card. He was younger than me and I always assured him that we were just messing around and I had no real feelings for him but thought he was smart, funny and would make a great boyfriend for a girl his age.
Until the day of my Dad's funeral. I left my family and got really drunk at a bar, then called him to come get me. I had never made a single demand on him until then. He took me home and put me to bed. After that, we messed around for a bit, but when we were having sex we would look deep into each others eyes and we both knew things had become uncomfortable. It was silently acknowledged that he had a place in my life that was much more intimate to me than I had revealed.
I like that song. It illustrates the fun, exciting time before he knew how much I liked him. |
