I feel as though this song is about the how the realization that one is in too deep in alcohol abuse. Possibly drinking to forget someone and how badly they were hurt by the relationship. ("Here comes another fall from grace I'm always falling on my face This attitude that I embrace For the love I'm trying to replace I try to kill the song 'Cause the melody's all wrong And there's a fever coming on") Then noticing that their life has passed them by, they don't really know who they are anymore, all of their friends have given up, and that the reasons for drinking do not retain. ("Take my ego for a ride 'Cause there's nobody by my side It's getting hard to justify And it won't be long 'til I collide My weaknesses laid bare As people stop and stare But it's the last time I swear It's hard to reconcile What I've become With the wounded child Hiding deep inside") Breathe underwater- reference to being drunk Coming up for air- sobriety |
