i think it could be about addiction. wanting to feel more out of life... everything he wants to do to feel but cant and is in a sort of denial or optimism until the drug addiction creeps up as the lyrics progress and he eventually just throws it all away for the high.. then back and forth addiction struggles and then about killing the addiction repetitively to end the song.
thats just one take of course... and ive struggled with addiction myself so i can see that perspective. another way to look at it is basically what the above user said i guess. but yeah who knows really, all songs have multiple meanings.. and the more vague they are the more ways you can see them.. puddle of mudd lyrics are usually pretty straight forward and basic as far as lyrics go. not a bad thing in my book. i like all types. anyway, enough about lyrics, haha. dunno why i went into that. just saying.. i mean when it comes to song meanings you never know what the actual meaning is unless the one who wrote it tells you OR the song is just so basically written and so straightforward that anyone can tell... but even then... words can always have multiple meanings, even in the most basic form. anyway, i see this song only has one post... oh well.. hope more people check it out in the future. p.o.m. has some great songs... and if you like nirvana you should check em out. great sound, powerful soulful music, from the heart. a great song from the latest album (07) release is "radiate" - shows a lighter side but still powerful and more developed p.o.m. beautiful song. but otherwise despite what others say i know come clean was a great album but i think life on display was great as well and there are tons of great songs on both cds. of course id have to say come clean had many more, nearly the whole cd while life on display not as much and their latest, well maybe the same... but radiate i must say is awesome, best song i say on that album. hope to see better stuff in the future. peace.
@Stringz I actually like LOD better than Come Clean. I think CC has some weaker tracks like Said and Piss It All Away (although those songs were originally on their independent album Abrasive which is actually their weakest album so...) whereas on LOD every song sounds great to my ears and even the weakest song, Think, has some redeeming qualities about it. Though that's just my cents which aren't worth shit in the real world. Peace!
