My favorite song on the album. I thought it was about drug use intially. However, I really like the interpretation of this as being about an abortion (or perhaps multiple abortions, since the rush was found again). Not much afterthought about the abortion on the day it was executed - matter of fact. In this sense, the line and "the things" he doesn't believe in, reflects his struggle with religion to help him deal with the pain. However, those things didn't seem to help. That interpetation really makes me think again about the meaning of this song.
