I understand this song is about being an addict, but personally this song means something different to me. To me it is about someone who has a painful past, so painful that they are numb now and unable to get the joy out of life they once had. He cuts himself or uses drugs to try to deal with the pain, either by attempting to forget or trying to feel something else. But he still can't help but recall memories from the past (good or bad) and it hurts him. He 'remembers everything'. He looks at himself and ask 'what have I become' because he sees that he is a disaster. He hates himself for it and has suffered so much loss he has come to believe that everyone leaves in the end. He wants to hurt the people who have hurt him ('I will let you down, I will make you hurt'), but they have moved on: 'You are someone else, I am still right here'. He, however, is still trapped in his pain. I think he says 'my sweetest friend' in a bitter way, perhaps referring to all the people who have hurt?abandoned him, or the pain itself. In the end he says:'If I could start again, A million miles away; I would keep myself, I would find a way'. I think he means that he is bitter and too afraid to start over, he feels trapped in his pain, and he feels alone. He feels there is nothing for him. This song is absolutely one of my favorites by Nine Inch Nails. I can't say I like the Johnny Cash version though, simply because I prefer Trent's voice. He sings it more smoothly. Anyway, this is song is just personal to me because I can definitely relate to the general feeling of this song. |

So, this is just the way I interpret this song (by the way, I adore this song, because of both the lyrics and just the instrumental part): the song is about a guy who is on drugs -here I assume perhaps heroin because it 'itches the skin right off my back'- giving head to a girl. He sees the girl as being pure and good, like a temple ('the temple walls are made of flesh' & 'she makes it sweeter than the sun'). He sees himself as a godlike figure because he is making her feel so amazing and he himself feels amazing, 'I'm Jesus Christ on ecstasy'. But at the same time, he feels wrong and dirty -'I'm so dirty', etc- because he is the one on drugs and giving head, while she is just receiving. I see it as him thinking only he is doing something "bad". He knows people think that drugs (and maybe even what he is doing in general) are wrong 'the disease I give myself' and says that he has chosen to forsake help 'there is no god'\'no sign of heaven', and that he doesn't want anyone to comfort him 'don't want the dreams you try to sell'. This song represents sort of a downward spiral to me, where you don't want any help and you are just running through life blindly and you make all sorts of bad decisions, because at the moment you just don't care. You're just on a wild, out of control search for pleasure because you are running away from pain. Nothing matters but the ecstasy of the moment. At least, this song reminds me of the times in my life that were like that. I know that was kinda an intense dissection of the song, but I really love it so I couldn't help myself. But that's just me and my thoughts. -Peace ;) |
