Bandages

the voodoo doll verse is priceless -grins- genius

another song about insecurity and masking your true feelings. He sings about what keeps him from this girl who obviously rejects him. So he runs from the problem by getting drunk and getting back at her in his own mind with not-so-well-wishes.

am i the only one who interpreted this song as being about heroin addiction?

i dunno this is a quick interpretation maybe someone else sees it the same way i do and can come up with something better

Bandages on my legs and my arms from you Bandages, bandages, bandages Up and down... (the bandages are covering up his track marks)

These bandages cover more than scrapes, cuts and bruises from regrets and mistakes (another reference to the various holes and bruises in his arm and he is stating that using he regrets using heroin)

I've been hoping your moping around the street again (he's thinking about it and is waiting for someone to tell him they have it)

I've been tripping from sipping the dripping dirty water tap(the dripping dirty water is his heroin filled blood and the fresh track is the tap)

I've been poking a voodoo doll that you do not know I made(the voodoo doll is the spoon)

These bandages are anonymity (anonymity is not letting anyone really know who he is which is a heroin addict and that's how he bandages up his problem and keeps himself safe)

I've been shaking from making an awful decision I've been running and running feels like my head is spinning round and round, around, around, around, around, around (he is getting sick and having racing thoughts from withdrawal)

I've been poking a voodoo doll that you do not know I made For you, of you, let's see what needles do (the voodoo doll is the spoon and its made of heroin cause heroin is in it needle is self explanatory)

Don't worry now, don't worry now, don’t worry cause it's all under control... (the whole feel of this part with the music and lyrics is right after he shoots up the high and mellow feeling heroin makes you feel care free and like everything is under control)

After seeing the music video, I began to think this song is more about the relative assumed safety of medical practices. Especially the line "don't worry now, 'cause it's all under control" which seems as though it's mimicking what a doctor would say.

The part about poking a voodoo doll could also be used imagery of medical practitioners trying new procedures on patients without thorough testing.

The line "moping and hoping around the street again" might have to do with not being sure of your health, and "tripped in dirty water, tap" could be a metaphor for suddenly and accidentally getting a disease and being forced to see a doctor about it.

It could be about more than this, perhaps the parts about cuts up and down his legs is about self mutilation, as well. Perhaps not.

This is simply my interpretation.

This song is irresistible.

If only bandages could cover up mistakes...

awesome awesome aweomse awesoema woemsrmoe awaweo rsadgf asd ad

anyone find lyrics to Ulysses? i love that song.

love this song.

I think that they, or the director, got the concept for this video from the movie Brazil. If anyone has seen it, you know what I'm talking about. There's a scene in the movie where the mother, who's obsessed with her looks, is getting some fast lift jobs done, and they use the same techniques as in the video.

This song reminds me about some people I know...

this sonfg is just plain awesome!

It a great metaphor for being a victim.

Killer song too.
