This song is about a person's inability to confront herself and really look at the scary, introspective things that need to be looked at and resolved. The song is about the frantic dellusion that self-security and happiness and completeness can be produced through changing around physical stances. The song is about the complicated drama produced by that frantic ignorance: the ignorance of not understanding that there is only and always RIGHT HERE AND NOW regardless of the story you tell yourself about how things got to where they are.
The song is about the freightened, desperate race of distracting oneself from his lonliness by running back to familiar grounds and never committing. The song is about running away instead of dealing with what needs to be dealt with.
He's pleased to meet you underneath the Horse; Horse=Heroin
May be a long time until you get the call-up
But it's sure as fate and hard as your luck;
It's that anticipation and frustration when your waiting for your dealer to call you back
No one'll know where you are
It's just a brief smile crossing your face;
It's when your sitting on the train, bus, walking to your connect, or whatever and that flicker of a smile crosses your face because you know in a moments time you'll be so fucking happy
Running speed trials still standing in place;
this part seems like a redundancy cause how...

It's when your sitting on the train, bus, walking to your connect, or whatever and that flicker of a smile crosses your face because you know in a moments time you'll be so fucking happy
Running speed trials still standing in place;
this part seems like a redundancy cause how can you run speed trials while standing in place, but he means you're running speed trials trying to see how fast you can cook it up, find a vein, and get it in.
When the socket's not a shock enough
You little child, what makes you think you're tough?;
to me this part seems like self-deprecation but i could be wrong.
When all the people you think you're above
They all know what's the matter;
it's feeling like you're above other people, non-junkies, people who's happiness depends on material objects, commodities, but then they all know what's wrong with you, they can see your pale skin, your tracks, your runny nose, your sweat, they know that you're a junkie and even if you feel like you're better than them; they feel like they're better than you.
You're such a pinball, yeah, you know it's true
There's always something you come back running to
To follow the path of no resistance;
he's bashing himself, saying that there's always sometyhing that he comes running back to (heroin) , instead of taking the harder route and growing and changing
It's just a brief smile crossing your face
Running speed trials standing in place
It's just a brief smile crossing your face
Running speed trials all over the place;
To the people around you: it's just a brief smile crossing your face,
running speed trials all over the place is shooting up in bathroom on the subway, in bathroom in a restaurant, in the park, in a taxi, you get the picture.
