| I agree with the other comment, i think it is very accurate, however i would like to build on it. in my opinion, i think the friend who turned to drugs had a reason to do that. i think s/he has a friend who is very sick, and in the hospital. When the singer says "our hope is with old coffee and a medical test" it makes me think that his/her friend is in the hospital, being tested for for something, possibly cancer. s/he wants to be the first to know, and is trying to stay awake, which is why he talks about the coffee. I think the friend of the singer's friend was diagnosed with something serious, so s/he started turned to praying for the friend, when he says "Cap off kneeling at the back of the church..." s/he is very stressed about his/her friend, so that's when i think s/he turned to drugs "that the needle in your skin won't bring you closer to God" when the friend isn't getting better, s/he becomes hopeless and gives up."we got lost in the travels of the spiritual book" S/he then turns to drugs/alcohol, thinking it would be an escape from the stress, but it just makes it worse."missed the beaches from nirvana and the way that they look" s/he thought that when she was high, it would be paradise, or nirvana. but she was wrong. That's why the singer says "missed the beaches from nirvana". when the singer sees his friend so stressed, and ultimately having their life ruined, he asks himself if their is anything he can possibly do to help. "is that the best that i can do?" s/he is trying to act like everything is alright, trying to look strong. "you appear even tempered though your looks will deceive" and the singer is worried his friend is going to hurt/kill him/herself which is why he says "It's a wonder why i don't try to build a wall around you" i might be completely wrong, but that;s what the song means to me, thanks for reading | |
