This song to me, is about an addiction.. Could be drugs, sex, alcohol, gambling.. Whichever, The song goes through stages.. First, he sees the problem: "Something has to change Undeniable dilemma Boredom's not a burden Anyone should bear" ^ So, instead of being bored, he looks to a addiction for something to do: "Constant over stimulation numbs me But I would not want you any other way" ^ Constant over stimulation cures bordem last time I checked..! "It's not enough I need more Nothing seems to satisfy I don't want it I just need it To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive" ^ Here is where the addiction really starts to set in.. Where its not enough to just do it when hes bored, but he craves it, needs it.. Does it to 'feel alive'.. "Finger deep within the borderline Show me that you love me and that we belong together Relax, turn around and take my hand" ^ There is a thin line between 'fun' drugs, sex, alcohol, and gambling.. Then there is a 'borderline' that you dont want to cross.. At this point in the song he is finger 'deep' across that line.. Asking the addiction to love him back, and be with him.. "I can help you change Tired moments into pleasure Say the word and we'll be Well upon our way" ^ I think this part is the addictions 'response' to Maynard.. Any addiction, will ALWAYS cure tired moments, and turn them into pleasure for the time being... All you got to do is start it, and you'll be on your way "Blend and balance Pain and comfort Deep within you 'til you will not want me any other way" ^ The addiction telling him that soon it will be part of his life, and he will live with it, in pain, and comfort.. And he wont want it anyother way.. Anyone who has been deep in any addiction will understand this line "It's not enough I need more Nothing seems to satisfy I don't want it I just need it To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive" ^ Same as before "Knuckle deep inside the borderline This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to Relax, slip away" ^ He is slowly being consumed by the addiction "Something kinda sad about the way that things have come to be Desensitized to everything What became of subtlety?" ^ Anyone knows once you do something long enough, you will get desensitized to it, for example.. I have a gambling addiction.. To me, when I started.. Winning or losing $100 dollars was INSANE amounts of money to me.. Now, I need to win // lose $5000 or more to feel any emotion toward gambling "How can it mean anything to me If I really don't feel anything at all? I'll keep digging 'til I feel something" ^ An addiction rarely gets better, only worse.. Because the more you do it.. The more you get used to it, and you lose the emotional swings and highs off of it.. So most of the time, you will either do it more often, switch to more potent drug, maybe more dangerous drug.. Bet more, have sex in random places, try new things.. Anything to get that high back.. "Elbow deep inside the borderline Show me that you love me and that we belong together Shoulder deep within the borderline Relax, turn around and take my hand" ^ Once again the addiction is consuming him more and more |

| I think this song is him talking to a journalist, or a reporter of somekind, you know the ones.. That 'interview' someone then write complete bullshit about the interview and make the interviewee sound like an idiot // asshole | |
