I think that this is a song that someone (I described them as person throughout this) is singing to their drug addict friend, possibly bf/gf ( I describe them as friend or addict throughout);
“I'm seein red, Don't think you'll have to see my face again, don't have much time for sympathy, Cuz it never happened to me”
I think this person has tried to help their friend, but they are frustrated because it always turns out the same once more. Also, they don’t understand because they never were into drugs and didn’t know what its like to be an addict.
“You feelin blue now, I think you bit off more than you could chew”
-I don’t think the addict is necessarily happy with the way they are living but continues to be trapped by the cycle that they started. The person sees this in their addict friend.
“And now it's time to make a choice, And all I wanna hear is your…”
-The person is telling their friend that they have to make a choice on the way they are gonna live before its too late, and they are saying they want to see their friend clean up because they care about them.
“So follow the leader down, swallow your pride and drown, When there's no place left to go, Maybe thats when you will know, Follow the leader down, swallow your pride and drown, When theres no place left to go, Maybe thats when you will know”
-I think that this is saying if you keep using you just gonna fall, hit bottom and not have anything left. At the same time I think this also says that maybe that’s what it will take for the drug addict to turn around their life, hitting bottom and losing everything.
“And foolish lies well can't you see, I tried to compromise, Cuz what you say ain't always true”
-I think this part is about how the person tried to help their friend but the friend just lied to avoid the trouble, and they don’t want to admit to their problem.
“And I can see the tears in your eyes, And what you said now, Can't stop the words from running through my head”
-I think the drug addict told the person they weren’t ready to quit even though it hurts them both, the person keeps thinking about this.
“And what I do to get through to you, But you'd only do it again”
-This is again about how the person tries to help, but it still always ends with the friend continuing to do drugs.
“So follow the leader down, And swallow your pride and drown, When there's no place left to go, Maybe that's when you will know, Follow the leader down, And swallow your pride and drown, When there's no place left to go, Maybe that's when you will know”
-Explained earlier
“Well I confess, I don't know what to make from all this mess, Don't have much time for sympathy, But it never happened to me”
-The person states they don’t know what to do anymore, and again how they cant truly understand because they have never been there.
“You Feelin down I don't know where i'll be when you come around, And now it's time to make a choice,
And all I wanna hear is your voice... “
-This shows the persons willingness to help, but that they can’t help it the friend doesn’t want the help. Also, that when the drug addict does finally get to the point where they want the help, the person will still be there.
