Lyric discussion by Jayestarre 

is it really about cheating everyone? it's too painful to be about watching someone else cheat. it's her, she's hurting and it's not her cheating, because i don't know if she ever even got there. there is some real submission here it's a girl stuck fighting her own pain, her own selfish notions to just keep it together for everyone else, although she mentions friends and says 'not to split them up'

the count me down, is because everyone does, no matter what, she is just- exhausted there isn't really any way for her to express herself anymore, so she's just done. that's the repetion, it's imposrtant that they didn't do rhyming couplets or anything. just 'down' the second lady- it's the lady that was never quite there. there is someone else that she can't ever be. so she is just beneath, never good enough the heavy land is everything everything drags her down. no one knows, the 'pushed and bent' it's like people don't get her posture, so it's a metaphor for her poor mind. she just smiles in front of her friends. doesn't want to cause trouble or anything... the 'stain' is the most powerful metaphor i think. yeah pretty bleak.

i'm replying to myself. the very first lines make it totally apparent that she is the 'second woman' and that she gets nothing for it. just the dirty sheets that she refers to later. i was wrong but i still think the point in this song is anguish
