This is a criminally underrated song. I think it's about the absurdity of love. I really wish I had a better interpretation of it, but the contradictions in the lyrics make it seem as if they're drawing a parallel between absurdity and love/life, etc... |

Have to agree about the drugs. Even as a naive 13 year old I knew this was about drugs... then again, that's like attributing eclipses to witches in the middle ages. Or military action with security in modern times... |

Interesting on the Cobain suicide theory. I don't buy it (but I don't buy any "coincidences" at all usually), but that's at least a unique interpretation.
Personally, I think it's about Karma or what have you in general without reference to a specific situation. The beauty of FNM songs is that they leave a lot up to individual interpretation and become very personal for that very reason. |

je21 I like that interpretation. Although I don't see it quite as literally, I think this song is about someone passing through your life without developing a meaningful connection. Then again, someone once convinced me that Underwater Love was about an unattainable chick (say Scarlet Johanssen?) and not about drowning your love... |

It could very well be about heroin addiction. I tend to see it in personal terms, however, and therefore interpret it as the need to drown out the world sometimes and isolate the madness to truly appreciate what is important.
I think that it's more in the nature of a social commentary than an addiction song, although I admit I'm not up on their drug habits as some others seem to be. The beauty of songs about drugs (Hotel California, Master of Puppets, etc...) is that they apply loosely to everyone in any situation. Drugs are unique in their destructive habits; they merely present another path to self-destruction with the differences being primarily physiological and upfront. |

I think this song is about rampant capitalism more than Stalinism. I tend to see the Russian uniforms as more ironic than meaningful. FNM seems to be talking about the pure pursuit of economic ideals (over say humanistic ideals) rather than the specifics of how states/economies get there.
Although as a huge FNM fan, I could see how this could be about nothing more than money itself. Either way, Patton again demonstrates an incredible range in his voice. |
