Love
Bleed in your own light
Dream of your own life
I miss me
I miss everything I'll never be
And on, and on

I torch my soul to show the world that I am pure
Deep inside my heart
No more lies

A crown of horns
An image formed deformed
The mark I've borne
A mark of scorn to you

Consume my love, devour my hate
Only powers my escape
The moon is out the stars invite
I think I'll leave tonight

Soon I'll find myself alone
To relax and fade away
Do you know what's coming down
Do you know I couldn't stay free?

I shall be free
I shall be free
I shall be free
I shall be free
Free, free
Free of those voices inside me
I shall be free
I shall be free

    I miss me I miss everything I'll never be

    These two lines sum up the whole meaning of the song.

    Billy wrote this song about a time machine that was shaped like a rocket.

    It was in this time rocket that Billy was able to view and meet his possible future selves.

    Billy became great friends with some of his future Billy's—the one that ended up marrying Courtney Love, for instance.

    This is why he says that he misses himself and misses who he'll never be. Eventually he had to ultimately decide on one future path and stick to it.
