Cover art for Absent Elements lyrics by Finger Eleven

The way I used to interpret it when I did lots of drugs was that they were what built my comfortable defense, and I could never fill the void that ensued when I didn't have anything.

I don't do drugs anymore, but the song will always have that sort of significance for me.

"May discover some reflection, or may discover none..." referred to what I might find on whatever journey I decided to take myself on, but when I thought about what all of it was doing to me I knew I was just building a wall around the real me.

But, you know, everyone interprets things differently.
