Avalanche

Oli said on the TTS album commentary that he was diagnosed with ADHD recently. It hit him pretty hard because he has been living his life up until that point without that knowledge. He said his world view was a little skewed after being diagnosed and felt like his head wasn't meant for the world. Hence the lyric "give me a remedy, because my head wasn't wired for this world"

I love this song so much! Bit off topic, but has anyone heard of the band FROM INSIDE?? Well I read on Twitter that Oli Sykes and Jordan Fish have written all the music for them cos they are good friends in the UK. Check out their music video for their single BE YOURSELF - FROM INSIDE by searching on Youtube, it sounds very BMTH but still its ridiculous good obviously. Mad that they are doing this too for friends bands now, really love them :D

After Bring Me the Horizon's 2010-2012 There Is a Hell... tour, frontman Oli Sykes was in a really bad place, leading him to self-medicate. It turned out that the underlying problem was ADHD, and this song is about his condition. Sykes said; "It's weird having a doctor tell you that your brain is missing something – but at the same time it was a relief to discover. Finding out that a huge part of my addiction was self-medicating was a massive step in my recovery." The lyric 'My head wasn't wired for this world' is the truth. It's meant to me talking to a doctor, trying to explain how I feel sometimes – hence 'It's like an avalanche.'" Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or ADHD is a condition affecting the brain, which affects how people think and act. ADHD sufferers have problems with focusing and processing information. They may also have extra trouble sitting still or being quiet.

on second thoughts it sound like anxiety.

I think it could be the realisation that he doesnt fit in 'a square doesnt fit the circle'. He is the square. The rest of society or the people around him are the circle. This happened to me. At first I thought it is a new school and it is hard to fit in but after more a year, after trying to hang out with every crowd your age, younger than you, older than you, you come to the sudden realisation that you dont fit in, anywhere. It hits like an avalanche. But lucky for me there was a group that I didnt try. I fit in with them perfectly and they actually like me. That was the happiest day of my life! Anyway, awesome song! BMTH rulz!
