Wither Away

40 Below Summer

Is it all just a shape, a twist of fate, that leaves me open
Will it all fade away, from my life, and leave me broken
It's all just game, as you left me here to wallow
It's all been a fake, and it's hard to swallow

And I wither away and die
Tomorrow's just another day to cry
I wither away and die
Clip my wings, without you I can't fly

What if life were a dream
Would you be there waiting for me
Suicide in a sleep
I'd rather die and have you miss me
And it all went away
The pain of watching you deny me
I've fallen again
Inside

And I wither away and die
Tomorrow's just another day to cry
I wither away and die
Clip my wings, without you I can't fly

I can't get away from myself (so far)
I can't get enough of your love (I can't escape)

And I wither away and die
Tomorrow's just another day to cry
I wither away and die
Clip my wings, without you I can't fly

    actually the song is about weed. i saw these guys in concert and that is what he said. he said that if it wasnt for weed he probably would've killed saomebody by now. these guys are awesome in concert, they are great showmen. if u get a chance to see them go. u wont regret it.

    In the DVD, Max mentions the song is about someone who is dead to him now.

    Why does everyone always connect every song to drugs? Take a deeper look and not every song is about addiction.

    Is it just me or does this song sound like Nonpoint's Your Signs?

    Well, now that I've heard that "Wither Away" is about marijuana, I'm upset. Oh well, do what you gotta do to get away from stress I guess. I'll just pretend it's another song about a broken heart.

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
