This song is about Crystal Meth. If you, like me, have more experience with this drug than good, you understand completely. I will explain it for those who do not know... All day Staring at the ceiling making Friends with shadows on my wall *When on Crystal Meth, you tend to just sit around for hours and hours 'tweaking' which more than often can lead to you sitting and looking at your wall pondering for hours straight. Time goes by quicker than you can imagine. About 18 hours in, the shadow people show up... You think you see something that isnt there. Its quite scary and entertaining at the same time* All night I'm hearing voices telling me That I should get some sleep Because tomorrow might be good For something *You cant sleep on meth. You hear voices when there are no other sound distracting you. Its easy to get depressed and feel like you are only good as a tweaker. Otherwise, you will just stay up all night and waste another day.* Hold on I'm feeling like I'm headed for a Breakdown I don't know why *You feel like shit. Plain and simple. You feel like you are going to breakdown. It happens every time. Yet we still do it. We have no idea why. But we have to. As bad as it is, we still find some weird sort of joy in it* I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see A different side of me *We know we arent insane. When off meth, we are normal. We are just unwell when we are on it. And you cant always tell when someone is tweaking unless you know them. So if you leave them to their devices and let them tweak and go to them on say, day 4 of being up straight and tweaking, you will see a side of them you never saw. They begin to get very... weird* I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired I know right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be *Once a tweaker has crossed the threshold to being a tweaker, they are NEVER the same. They know what it is to tweak and always want it. When my friends first realized I was doing this, they didnt have much of a opinion. Then they saw me on it and wished for the old me. (Not my Tweaker friends)* See me Talking to myself in public And dodging glances on the train *On Meth, you HATE being in public. Comfortable environments are the name of the game. Friendly people who know whats up. I dread having to go out and get smokes or something while tweaking. Its horrible having to deal with people. You have no idea if your acting strange. It sucks. I never talked to myself but I know plenty who do* I know I know they've all been talking 'bout me I can hear them whisper And it makes me think there must be something wrong With me *Paranoia. Classic symptom of tweaking. You think everyone knows your tweaking and are judging you. Hence the anti-social behavior. You think you hear them say things they dont actually say. Its all very interesting. And it makes you feel like a piece of shit tweaker. You laugh about it when sober (for those who actually do get sober)* Out of all the hours thinking Somehow I've lost my mind *You never sleep. You always think your going insane with the things you do and think about. Mostly about what you think you are hearing and seeing. I sometimes think Ive gone mad when I start seeing the shadow people. Conversations with said people confirm my fears.* Talking in my sleep Pretty soon they'll come to get me They'll be taking me away *Eventually it all feels like a dream. Your not really sleeping, but it feels like it. Your numb. The world around you has no influence. You are in your own world and nothing can harm you or save you. You always pass out before they come and get you. But Ive gotten damn close* SO yeah, this is a tweaker song. Plain and simple, no way around it. I think Ive even heard Rob Thomas admit it. Any tweaker knows this for fact. People can think what they want about me. Im not a tweaker. I have a job and I hold it well. I have a relationship that is just fine. Ive been in the public spotlight (on the news, in films etc.) and still hold my own. Not to say that it couldn't happen or wont happen, but as of this writing, Im not crazy, Im just a little unwell. |
