I believe it's about amphetamines and keeping it a secret, even from your friends. Here's why: when i came down the dawn poured into me = up all night and coming down when the sun came up my fists kept trembling with these salty wounds = amphetamines are a mix of salts and make you jittery my stolen gold inside the emperors tomb = the drug is like gold to him now painting rainbows on my ugly face = get creative but might not do rational things i built this cardboard neighborhood's disgrace ----> (see rest of my interpretation) but i ascend and serve my feverish need = he gets high and scratches the itch within the confines of such chemistry = drugs are chemicals its the way i see everything i need its no way to be = it's a way of life, but it's not pretty let this be our little secret no one needs to know were feeling higher and higher and higher = no one really knows he's high but himself or the person he's high with but i feel alive and i feel it in me up and up i keep on climbing higher and higher and higher = he's getting higher and feels the drug's euphoria my face blew up at such a casual sight = he spotted a cop, but since he's high it's startling the smattered colors of ecstatic fright = cop lights behind him are scary, but the high intensifies the rush above me to oblivion = the rush he gets is so intense outlining wet sidewalks in halogen = car headlights bulbs are halogen, and it's lighting up the sidewalks oh have you ever felt so strong = the drug makes you feel invincible how come it takes some people so damn long = his high has a quick onset he tried to squeeze the lemon juice to rain the citrus drawing out the seasons stains = cop tried to get him to admit he's high watch the basin drain = he's caught as your life lines wane = there's only a few people to reach out to and you cant explain = he can't explain why he wanted to do the drug to begin with as your friends complain = they are pissed he was driving high and didnt tell them youve caused all this pain and you proudly shame your whole families name = his arrest or penalty is public mother i can tell what youve been thinking staring at the stars on your ceiling thinking once there was a power that you were wielding = thought she had control over her son's actions and now ive hit the mark = he finally got found out staring at the dark = nowhere left to go and i cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars = forgetting the past and ignoring people that hold it against him (scars might be literal if he's talking about injecting the drug) This is just my perception. I don't know if these guys are into drugs or not. |
