Just think about this for a second:
I agree with the theory of cancer in James father, but read the lyrics and think of it as a persons fight with drugs and what it makes them feel inside.
"Theres things inside that scream and shout."
Withdrawls from the drug may have meant,
"Hold me until it sleeps."
The drug may be referred to "it" when they say,
"it grips you, it stains you, it holds you, it hates you."
The person is trying to quit the drug and does not know where to go and therefore says,
"Where do I take this pain of mine?"
"I run but it stays right by my side."
This person gets the high once and then is addicted,
" You feed it once and now it stays."
His feelings about others while high,
"Theres things inside without a care."
He's desperate to get rid of the withdrawl,
"Tear me open..."
Even though the person has quit the drug the unwelcome feelings are still there (dirt referring to the drug),
"The dirt still stains me"
I would like feedback guys. Give my suggestion some thought and let me know...Thanks
