The meaning I get from this song, is about being in a relationship with someone who made you a better person. This relationship appears to be deteriorating and the person doesn't want to return to what they were before ("If you want me- hold me back").
Although they don't want to return, they find it is the only cure to ease their pain. ("Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy"). Be it drugs, alcohol, or whatever it was in their past that their ex couldn't stand and helped them recover from-- which appears to be with much exasperation ("And tell yourself, 'You'll be the death of me'").
Also, it seems like their ex wants to remain friends and help them cope with their problems, but it's too painful for the person speaking ("I don't need a friend, I need to mend so far away").
These are just my opinions and what I get from the lyrics, anyway.
i belive it means this this song is about lead singer shaun morgan's addictions. "the remedy" the metaphore for the addiction, and in the second half of the chorus morgan sings of freeing oneself from addiction. "clip the wings that get you high, and leave them where you lie"

I figured out what this song is about with a couple of my friends. Listen closely.
This song is about drug abuse.
"If you want me hold me back"- translates into- if you love me, don't let me do drugs

"Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail, and so we go back to the remedy"- translates into- Drugs will never fail me (the pain will never fail), and so i go back to the anti drug (and so we go back to the remedy).

This is where it gets obvious.
"Clip the wings that get you HIGH, just leave them where they lie, and tell yourself, 'you'll be the death of me"-translates into- get rid of the drugs that get you HIGH, leave them where they are (don't take them with you), and tell yourself, drugs will be the death of me.
see what i mean? But i did figure out one small other part.
"I don't need a friend, i need to mend, so far away"-translates into- i don't need drugs, i need rehabilitation help.
Please gives me good ratings if you think this is helpful. Thanks. and remember, don't do drugs!!
@Obsessed_Oppressed The song is probably about drugs but personally, it really relates to my relationship with my mother.
@Obsessed_Oppressed The song is probably about drugs but personally, it really relates to my relationship with my mother.
"If you want me hold me back" she pretends that she loves me but she doesn't accept me for who I am so she likes me better when I'm not myself, when I'm held back.
"If you want me hold me back" she pretends that she loves me but she doesn't accept me for who I am so she likes me better when I'm not myself, when I'm held back.
"I'll die alone but not for you" she always hates any friends or partners I have and I'm sure she'd be happy if I died alone and I also happen to be really antisocial.

"Speak but...
"Speak but don't pretend, I won't defend you anymore you see" I used to think she was the most intelligent and greatest person, I thought she could do no wrong. I learned from my mistake and I won't defend her anymore.
"My eyes don't need to see that ugly thing, I know it's me you fear" she always tries to show me things to get me to be scared of what I am, to try to scare me out of being queer. I know she's just afraid of what I am.
"Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail" this one is kind of just emotional neglect and distancing but also the mental and physical abuse.
"And so we go back to the remedy" she's an alcoholic and has other addictions(not anything illegal thank god) and really bad habits and I had self harm and self destruction, also later she introduced me to pot through my stepdad and while pot isn't necessarily bad I did it to escape my issues and my bad thoughts.
"Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie" Personally, this has a double meaning. One, it's my mom and stepdad guilting me about wanting to leave when they were the only ones who "supported" me, how ever hollow their "support" was and is. And two, it's my friends and many other individuals telling me I should leave and get out of that situation.
"And tell yourself you'll be the death of me" essentially just being constantly put down and belittled by her and my issues being seen as just a nuisance.
"I don't need a friend, I need to mend so far away" She started to try to be friends with me and tried to get me to open up to her after literal years of being blocked out and having my opinions and thoughts and ideas essentially being viciously shredded. So obviously I just needed to get away so I could fix myself.
"Come sit by the fire and play a while, but you can't stay too long" the moments of happiness and love and then the emotional neglect and block outs.
"I see my heart explode, it's been eroded by the weather here" watching myself loose my ability to freely love others, feeling like my heart is missing or gone, caused by the situation or the "weather" I was in.
"Hold your eyes closed, take me in" The want for acceptance, for love. She thinks she's so intelligent but she just needs to close her eyes for a second to see that I'm not as black and white as she tries to say I am.

i agree with obsessed, this song is about two lovers that try to dull the pain if being broken up... and how they get back together because of it...

@Obsessed_Oppressed If anyone knows, addiction, whether it be a person or a drug, that’s what this song is about.
