from listening to a few songs i came to the conclusion that the album heroin is a concept album based around someones (sonney's?) mother, i guess this song proves it. Anyways the feeling i get from this song and most of the others from the album is that he feels as if the situation that he is in now (touring, away from home, songwriting) has left him with a weakened relationship with his mother, when he feels he needs her most. He feels that he has lost touch, lost himself and lost the bond with his mother he once had. The heroine is his mother. fftl could have made a carbon copy of dear diary.. and pulled it off and i got the feeling that was the way they were heading with the internet only release of failure by designer jeans but fftl have changed, matured and became the band they want to be. this song is amazing esp. outtro.
