Blind Melon – Pull Lyrics 10 years ago
The lines about "the cook that can't look", but who "will be around when you feel the need to feel" make it kind of clear that's it's about drug abuse. "When you feel the need to feel"..is when you're out of drugs and need to feel something by getting high again.
As for the "Well I live more than what you'll ever know / But I'll give you more than what I'll ever show", it could easily mean that even though a drug addict, he does live a life in spite of the appearances (a looked down junkie), and though he seems to be caught up in the drugs, he is able to give much to his loved ones, even if it doesn't show that much or that it won't be acknowledged by his loved ones... It sounds pretty much like about being trapped in a drug world that people can't understand the user, and he could be saying that he does have feelings, and cares about the people around him..
