This hand on this gun to my head is my own
and these are my demands:
If you leave me, take me with you, I am nothing without you.
People who need people are the wretchedest in the world.

    on the contrary, it's a criticism of the clingy attitude many people have in a relationship. it's about that feeling of being held hostage by somebody: the relationship is a sinking ship, but the other party believes that they are nothing without the speaker - perhaps displaying self-destructive tendencies when threatened with a breakup. which is, of course, a fucked up sentiment. the speaker, thus, feels trapped inside this broken shell of a relationship. it's fine to love, but you should never get to the stage where you feel that you are totally dependent on someone else.

    I did an art assignment with those lyrics.

    look down on yourself for wanting to love someone more then you love yourself, knowing the downfalls and still going ahead, [dying with someone is better then living alone]
