Map of the Problematique

Right, here's my sort of a "try". Well it's how I think about the song. I'm a person with the Borderline Personality Disorder, and I can relate to some parts of this song, for example: " Fear, and panic in the air I want to be free from desolation and despair"

• BPD people always carry fear for being abandoned, yet when they finally find a person that they can get along with, they want to "be free from desolation and despair", just because they're desperate to keep that certain person by their side.

"well I refuse to let you go"

• You just CANT think of letting the person go, pretty simple

"I can't get it right Get it Right Since I met you"

• BPD persons need some attention and always NEED it, but on the other side they don't want anyone to get too close to them, this is why often when you fall in love, or whatever, with another person, you "can't get it right" due to an inner fight between both statements.

"Loneliness be over When will this loneliness be over?"

• If you're BPD, no matter how much people pay attention to you, it's NEVER enough. You always end up feeling lonely. I guess this would be some self-questioning, duh.

"Life will flash before my eyes So scattered and lost I want to touch the other side"

• 75% BPD people have suidical thoughts. I guess that refers to "life flashing before my eyes", since that's what usually happens when you want to kill yourself or something, you sum up your whole life in seconds. Touching the other side could mean finding out what's gonna happen after you die.

"And no one thinks they are to blame Why can't we see That when we bleed we bleed the same"

• Some people blame BPDs for their own faults, even tho BPD people are quite hard to find in a normal group of people. In the end they're just as human as everyone else, with some weird personality disorder.

I guess that's that. Cheers :)

PS: My fav. song on the new album, all the way!
