Before I knew the lyrics of this song it was always just a fun song for me, something to sing along to in the car. Then I heard the slang for injecting heroin (blast) in the lyrics, and I stopped to listen. This song is about the extreams someone will go to for heroin. People are after him, he's stuck looking and searching for heroin, and even sleeps with a girl for a blast. Thoughout the song, though, he is pleading with God for it to be differnt, that he doesn't need that hit, but at the same time he's to arogent to trust God to help him clean up. He's also scared of what may happen after he quits. "I would run, I would switch, but I wanna be the same." is talking about how he gets insperation for his lyrics from the drug. He's doesn't know how he will go on without that infuential power. The song, to me, is what one would write in a journal, or think outloud to themselves. This song will never be the same to me, now that I know the dark and horrible meaning to the lyrics. (I love you Brad and miss you deeply!)
