Cover art for How to Be Dead lyrics by Snow Patrol

Please don't go crazy, if I tell you the truth No you don't know what happened And you never will if You don't listen to me while I talk to the wall This blanket is freezing, it's been out in the hall Where you've had me for hours Till I'm sure what I want But darling I want the same thing that I wanted before So sweetheart tell me what's up I won't stop no way

The first part gives me the sense that they are in a hospital and the speaker just had like an overdose on something.. and he says the blanket is cold but its because he is experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Also he is talking to walls cuse he is allucinating from the drugs. Since to whoever he is singing this song to seems not to know about his drugs abuse he is trying to explain the overdose
