I think all you people cant see it... but its so obvious to me. In this song John speaks of his past drug addiction and you all have to know that John was in a very late stage of addiction and survived just miraculously. Well, careless angels are the the people that where feeding him with drugs.I say that becoz angels are the ones that drive us from earth to heaven so careless angels are the ones that drove him to a fake heaven. "I never got the weight off the ground I just forgot what's up and what's down" Here he speaks of his dillusions during his addiction. There's so many careless angels responsible for me
They give me disease
They give me a pain in my neck to feed off me
Saying pay us the cost and we'll be gone
Now they shut my eyes and I can't see now..
Now here john wants to say that once the drug deallers(careless angels) sold him drugs he had the need to buy again and again(disease) and he couldnt stop till the latest stage of it..(neck is the latest stage of herion when you have no more pure vains on your body except from your neck and its realy painful). And where he says "Saying pay us the cost and we'll be gone"... He means that he has to buy more and more drugs to stop feeling the pain and cold that addicts feel. The last lines:These are the times I was scared of
These are the fares I pushed out of my way
Now they've come back here to haunt me
It's plain to see who the winner and loser will be
Those lines mean that he managed to get away from his addiction but now it seems like he has the need to take drugs again...And I think he means that in the end the drugs will beat him, coz previously he said :"Anne you can't hide
You know we'll find you"...Well Anne is obviously John and he has that feeling that "drugs" seek for him and will finally get him whatever he does..And the most important part according to my opinion is:There wasn't anything for me
I always faked my smile...this means that during his addiction he didnt feel that great, he only faked it.I also remember an interview of his where he said that when he was still in the early part of his addiction and was in need of cocaine and he didnt have any, he just faked to be drugged and walked around pretanding to be really high.I never understood why would he do something like that, seems like everything in his world was so miserable to him that he tried to avoid it in that way.
Well these were my comments on the song, hope you like it...And sorry for my mediocre English,Im a Greek FRUSCIANTE fan!!

Euxaristo! Probably one of the best interpretations on here. P.S. Your English is better than most on the internet.
