Cover art for Protect Me From What I Want lyrics by Placebo

its like coming home after going clubbing or getting really wasted and just reflecting on the stupidity of it all. "protect me from what i want" reminds of lots of things.....drugs, cutting, alcohol, anything addictive really. its like the thing you love the most is the thing you must be protected from.

ladyboygrrl the author is writing about addiction which is obvious. "protect me from what i want" he means for his addiction to protect him from what he wants. ie) healthy life, happiness, family, career. addicts get so infatuated with the drugs that it becomes their saftey net comfort zone. try looking at it from that angle
