Cover art for I Live To Fall Asleep lyrics by Manic Street Preachers

I thought it was depression too. Things like "it's when I stop the hate", "skin so tense gives in / I've lived enough to kill" etc... maybe "everyone who loved you ... till the end" could be jealousy, i.e. the person didn't love the singer (or whoever) enough to stay till the end. "It helps me through the day. drink is never dulled, a pain so deep does run" etc... obvious. "When did you decide that sleep could save your life" - if he doesn't sleep (being the only time he can get away from his depression) he'll kill himself. There's loads more stuff in the lyrics that makes it obvious, I won't write another essay, find it yourself. :)
