Mr. Self Destruct Lyrics

Its a good song. But there is one thign with this site, not every song happens to be about drugs. I mean even fuel by Metallica, which is clearly about James' passion for racing, is slandered as a drug song.

Anyways back to the meaning, i think it's about how he is in a relationship with someone, and she is threatening to break up and his argument is "You cant live without me! i'm all you ever relied apon"

Then again, it might be about drugs, it's whatever the song means to you :P

This song is most definitely about ....... drugs!

Think it just depends on who is listening. To you, it is a song about a relationship, which I never would have thought. To me, it's more about self hatred and apathy.

I see it more as the perspective of the narrator talking to himself. His desires are taking precedence over other aspects of life, because he doesn't care anymore. And if it was about a drug, I would say it's alcohol, because that's when my own little Mr. Self Destruct comes out. Though mine is more like Archdemon Self...
