I think that, wether lyrics are inspired from real situations or not, they can often take on alife of their own, and the writer can turn the moment into an expression of something else. I think it's true for this song, and I see this in the first two lines: "Awake on MY aeroplane", not AN aeroplane or THE aeroplane, which would rever to the naked on the plane happening. Secondly, a "picture" of someone, wether of their character or not, is the way we identify each other and ourselves. Therefore, he may be saying that he's tired of trying to be someone, he'll leave it up to others, and he seems to be blaming his father for it. |

I think there's a very sarcastic tone governing the chorus. He's not really propogating drinkiking, he's saying that it's a waste to be drinking to try and ignore inner problems. Then he relates this to the way we just take a pill to bury ourselves of our problems, instead of dealing with them (give me my medecine)! Ultimately, I think he is talking to himself, arguing with another part of himself. |
