it's probably wrong, but i've always thought this song is about him going through a nervous breakdown, i think the girl is maybe someone who he dated who was a tv star (maybe monica or rachel from freinds), but it's not really her, it's him dreaming, when he's lying in bed, it's so quiet and he gets all this time to think and so he imagines her with all his emotions she is telling him that everyone is against him and is laughing at him, making him paranoid, making him angry and possibly even suicidal. it all adds to the crap floating through his mind in life, how sad he is, how angry he is and how scared and mixed up he is, and the girl is adding to it, thats why he says he's not sleeping anymore, because he's overcome the worst of his breakdown and he's now on the mend, so because he's not sleeping, she can't hurt him, he also says about following her down through a valley, and he'll follow her down but won't come up again, basically meaning that following her down will bring him further and further into depression and self pity that he'll get beyond help, but he opts against that and this song is about coming out the other end. Does anyone agree with this? or am i speaking crap?
