I Got Shit (I Got Id)

I read a lot of the comments but not all of them so I'm not sure if this was mentioned or not. Id is the Freudian term for your inner desires. So I think he is saying he has this desire to be loved yet he can't get it for lack of confidence. In turn all day he lays in bed and feels sorry for himself and waits for that dream he has when he has respect for himself and the girl falls in love with him for who he truly is. The title of the song "I got Id (I got shit)" means he has the desire to be loved yet he can't go out and get it so he's got nothing. I love this song because I know exactly what it's like not to be able to get what you want for lack of confidence (You're scared to be yourself). And I have said the same thing to myself if I could just get her to love me than I would walk the line of life. I would work hard to keep her love, not because i like working hard but because I love her so much and would fall apart if I lost her. The only problem is it's like you don't have the love to begin with so how can you work hard enough to get it, your empty, you have no drive. It's a viscous cycle that is very hard to break, self pity is, but it's possible don't stop believing in yourself cause that is the only problem after all.

I remember when this song first came out as a single. I taped it off the radio and listened to it for about two weeks straight on headphones, just walking about. I think I was in about sixth grade. It's the only band that really makes you feel and think. They just have that certain mystique, that pulls you in. Who agrees?

This song so embodies a specific period of my life it is almost scary. This song ca insantly take me back there and is almost comforting. even tho' the song and that time in my life are so sad.

I think the song is about having desires that are unattainable is wasting your life away, therefore in the end all you have is shit, nix, nein, nada, so don't waste your time. When the songs goes dark, there's uplifting notes to bring you out of the funk. Just my two cents

I think this song is about my life......Every line describes my situation to a tee....Great song...

i think this song is just about a loser who has no girlfriend or life and he obsesses about being with one girl. He then starts to realize that he'll never be with her that he's been wasting his time and life. I think this song must relate with a lot of ppl.

they both have amazing, depressing lyrics

im going through this right now. it fucking kills. i cant think about anything else but her. ive listened to songs like this [i.e. creep, so,ething i can never have] and it doesnt make me feel better but it numbs the pain

"I don't want to ruin any interpretations of this song that you may have." -Eddie We all have our own interpretations and that's how it should be. Here's mine I agree with the the freudian "ID" theory and the Johnny Cash reference. If youve seen the movie "walk the line" you might agree. Your ID is instinctual and uncontrollable urges. "Shit" is your vice cocaine, heroine, whatever. Her love allowed him to walk the line and kept him clean. but your ID is enevitable and he reverted back to his addiction and ultimately lost her. he now beleives he can't be clean without her love. He's left in a state of addiction and depression dreaming of her. If he felt her love her love again he could overcome it.

This is one of my top depression porn tunes. It will take you right where you need to be, and suit your needs with clever undetermined lyric pattern that will take you wherever you would like to go. Fav. PJ song
