The final verse is the key verse, it goes from insanely sad with "Suffering was the only thing that made me feel I was alive Though that's just how much it cost to survive in this world" to Tears of Joy with "'til you showed me how, how to fill my heart with love How to open up and drink in all that white light Pouring down from the heaven" One extreme to the other! Basically, its just about someone who always tended to be sad but has found someone that has given them so much happiness that its changed their whole outlook on life, to where they literally no longer have "time for the pain"! Such a beautiful moving song! BTW-When I was in college this song was used in a commercial & my roommates response was "What about on weekends? Do you have time or the pain then?" LOL |

I agree with the addiction theme, specifically I think its about an alcoholic, the word "breath: is a clue because they always talk about a drinker's breath, smells like a brewery & such... "His children jumping off at stations 1 by 1" & his woman & his best friend in bed & having fun" are references to alcoholics losing their families "Stole the handle" & "no way to slow down" are about addiction out of control |
