Lyric discussion by tical2k 

Interesting song really. I wonder who was the author on the lyrics? Was it joey? Was this song about another member of the band?

Anyway, my take on this song. It's talking about somebody who has psychological problems (depression maybe). They are trying to deal with it themselves, doing drugs (broke the rules), feeling satisfied with sucess. Then, once they reach what they wanted, they are still depressed. Why? Because DEPRESSION IS NOT SELF CURABLE! They feel even more pressure to stay at the top and depression increases even.

Id rather not touch the "self-fulfilled prophecy" part.... because i dont want to allude to something that isnt fact.

An error occured.
