Well, in the bible, "pale horse" literally represented the apocalypse or 'the end of the world'. Much to my understanding anyways.. So im guessing "Please come back, pale horse" would mean that the persona wanted the 'end' to come. Meaning he/she wanted to die. Very much anticipated when a person is being fed with drugs that can make you sicker than you ever was! |

Thorazine, just like any other drug that is involve in seretonin adjustments, causes the mind of the patient to become less aggresive (mainly used to treat psychosis.) Thus "they give you this(the medication), they take away that(making you void of any feeling)" I can personally relate to the lyrics of this song as I experience the "numbness" that comes with taking antidepressants to take away the emotional torment. I feel almost as if i am engulfed in an apothic cavity/ a walking zombie. |

What i really want to know is what does "you know you made us cry" mean and who does the "us" refer to? The song puts me to sleep especially billy's vocals ^.^ |

i have BDD which means" body dysmorphic disorder" and i can totally relate to this song. my face is grotesque. my body is distorted. i hate looking in the mirror because i see a monster in my reflection. i cannot relate to the people who tell me that i am beautiful because i obviously am not. i know im ugly so dont lie me!
im a ghost of girl that i used to be.i see old pictures of me as a child; innocent and well, genuinely happy and cheerful as compared to who i am now: a tormented soul, crestfallen face painted yellow. i am not who i used to be and i hate myself.
i can also relate to feeling as if i am rotting in my own skin.eventually my soul will swell and i will escape my skin. i am dead mentally and spiritually but still breathing at the same time. my soul is sleeping in a hollowed shell, rotting and rotting as the days pass.
i know that i am capable of accomplishing anything but i cant hold on to any kind of hope because im sure that i would be let down. "im good enough but i dont care"
the song ends with a sigh "im good enough somewhere.." hoping to find light at the end of the tunnel. well honestly i can never relate to that because if i were to find a light at the end of the tunnel it would be a friggin train. but whatever, billy seemed to have been depressed while writing this song(and in every other of his songs :p) but he sounded particularly determined to find a place where he'd belong :) I LOVE YOU BILLY <3 |
