Product Of A Murderer

The music is his drug thing that dancoots mentioned ^ is totally what I thought! I can totally relate to this song if that's what its about. Because honestly all that I've gone through these past two years, I always turned to music and I'm like addicted to it. It gets me by in life now and its always made me feel good. "Perception falls, feels so empty Cold sweats, the pain, skin crawls, the shame Please save me, please save me"

^ I totally feel that way too with turning to music. Everyone always makes me feel ashamed of it but it eases me pain, that doesn't leave me.

"This is the way I wanted to live But you know that I was scared of the world Praying it all would go away"

^I honestly feel that way too now. I wish everything that's happened would just go away, wish I could forget and wake up from what feels like a dream but I know its not. Now I'm just scared what's going to keep happening within this year. So I can honestly understand how this music could be his drug, because its pretty much mine.

Honestly I think there's something more to it than simple drug addiction. That's the first thing you assume to considering it has drug in the lyrics.They could be talking about just being famous and making music and how it makes them who they are but there some drawbacks from it, It may even not be about what I said. I don't think they would make it about drugs because that's just to obvious. Wouldn't they want to leave you guessing? Maybe a song for the fans that have gone through some kind of addiction. Whatever it is, I don't think it is about drugs in general cause its just to obvious.

what i get from this song is either one of two things. the first is the obvious one which is that the song sounds like a battle with drugs of some kind, i would say heroin because of the lyric "fill my veins" but that's just one guess.

the other thing, which is what i think it is for some reason, is that his drug is music and performing on stage in front of everyone. for some reason i don't think this song is what most people would probably think it's about. i think it's metaphorical for talking about how music is his drug.

To me it is just about addiction in general. I've gone through it and it all fits perfectly with the terrible lifestyle and emptiness it holds.

it seems [to me] that its clearly about drugs, and the euphoric feeling the users gets from being high. he likes the feeling, but knows its so fake and wishes it wasn't. he loves taking them, but he realizes he's a coward because he can't face reality. In the end he asked to be saved from himself, and also the world he can't face with a happy face, unless he's on drugs

I'm pretty sure this is about Shaley's battle with depression. That being in the band was helping him and giving him a sort of high like the song says. But it never is enough to pull him out completely.

"This is the way I wanted to live But you know that I was scared of the world Praying it all would go away" That he'd always wanted to be a rock star or something along those lines, and he was scared about how it would work out for him with him battling depression. And he just wanted it all to leave him.

I honestly believe Shaley wrote this. I wish I knew for sure.

i feel like this song is more than drug addiction. like really, it's any kind if addiction. but the vibe i'm getting from this song is that it's leaning towards the addiction of self destruction.

"it consumes me, controls me, leaves me with nothing"

that basically means you're so deep in your self destructive ways that it's become a habit. and every time you harm yourself, you're left to feel numb and empty.

"but you know that i love how it tastes, fear and the fate."

this one's kind of obvious. despite you being aware of your behaviors, you still do it anyways. you do it for that temporary high feeling you get when you "relieve yourself." even though you know that fear and consquences follow.

"product of a murderer, you stole everything from me."

when austin says "product of a murderer", he means whatever you use or do to harm yourself, it's literally the weapon you use against yourself. "you stole everything from me" meaning that this "weapon" has taken away your happiness, your interests in things and people you once loved, and maybe your sanity.

"this is the way i wanted to live. but you know i was scared of the world, praying it all would go away"

basically meaning despite everything that happens, you still want to live this way because (this applies to me, but it may different for you) you feel like if you stopped your self mutilation, you wouldn't be who you are. and that is a good and bad thing. like your ways could have made you more empathetic and emotionally connected with others. but it also made you a danger to yourself. you feel like it's the foundation of your being, and you wouldn't be able to live without it.

and to whoever's reading this: if you feel as i do, i know that things will get better. because i'm aware of this myself. it might not be my time to recover, but one day it'll happen. and i guarantee that it'll happen to you too. it's happened to so many other individuals out there. so why can't it happen to us? we suffer differently, but we still suffer. and suffering always comes to an end. so try to keep your head up, because people care about and love you so much.
