being a junkie myself, this song definitely reminds me of when i was living with my ex and we were both getting high. i like Wysefool's interpretation of "mistook their nods for an approval." that's what i thought of when i first heard the line. i personally like the "such a perfect color for your eyes" if you've ever seen someone with blue eyes after they've done heroin, their eyes are BEAUTIFUL. It's amazing. a lot of times i used to find myself "just ignoring the smoke" because quite honestly, we liked each other much better when we were high. |

snowyshroom, i agree... and i have a personal story to add that may shed some light on a few things. once upon a time i was strung out with my boyfriend, both of us heroin addicts. we were staying in a cheap hotel room, but on the bright side, the hotel had HBO. we couldnt score for three days, and withdrawal was setting in... we were stuck in a haze of sleep and wake for three days, him and i on opposite ends of the king size bed, shivering, staring at the tv. In those three days, the X Files movie played at least 5 times. each time i would drift in and out of sleep for the movie, but i would always wake up to this song playing at the credits. it was terrifying (its a very eerie-sounding song). but that was my past life... so, in my opinion, the song is talking about him and someone else getting wrapped up in addiction and those certain things that happen when you start getting high with someone else (be it family, friend, but especially significant other). Your relationship starts to resemble your addiction. That line, "We're miles adrift, we're inches away" definitely resonates... i get the image of two people, half-laying on the couch, nodding out from the heroin. they may be inches apart, but their brains are miles away. they may say they care about each other, but in that moment, nothing matters but the high... maybe im putting too much of a personal spin on this, oh well :D |
