Like in the song of "Yourself" (''too many teenage holes to fill'') there is a reference to the adolescence and the difficulty of growing up with this line : ''The adult world took it all away''. All his diseases come from his teenage I suppose. |

| I think it's about today's world. You sleep, you work, you eat and then you die without thinking and without protesting and live your life like a sheep of Panurge. | |

I think it's about Richey's anorexia notably with these followin lines : ''Weighed down of course I smile This beauty a dipping neophobia Weighed down of course I cry Private care, sugar pills, the flag of healing'' He was at the hospital and he was tried to be recovered. He weighed down and he smiled then he cried : it shows the ambivalence of the anorexia cos in the same time he was happy and unhappy of losing weight. The beauty which scares him it's to gain weight. Private care, sugar pills, the flag of healing : It's about methods used to make him gain weight. What's More there are the word "calories" and calories are "bathed acid red" and it refers to wine. Wine contains calories but he needs to reach the "oblivion", to forget many things and to sleep. What's more wine and alcohol is a factor of cancer. Richey in this song sspeaks a lot about "skin" and I think it may refer to self-injury and anorexia. In any case, there are themes of anorexia and dismorphophobia in this song. |
