Brian Molko initially intended this song to be about drugs.. Placebo promote self-esteem and being proud of yourself, this song is basically saying hang onto your IQ: your intelligence; to your ID: whatever that differentiates you from everyone else. It is said that in this world intelligence is of most worth.. Brian obviously values knowledge, and in an interview he says "nothing excites me anymore". Direct quote from an interview: "The state of abandoning yourself to something implies loss of identity. It’s about trying to see your way through whatever’s stopping you from operating in relation to others".
