I was just reading a book today that said there are such things as bad and good interpetations. Saying this song is just about drugs is like saying Brokeback Mountain is just about gay sex. To me the interpetation of this song is about humanizing a self destructive nature. Some people have already said this. I think to get the meaning you have to remove yourself from the song entirely. I tend to view it from a psychological perspective. Everything in this song seems to point to the ego. The way it controls you and takes you where you want to go. The idea of the ego goes along nicely with this song. The Guy Ritchie film Revolver does a really good job of showing a visual interpetation of how the ego manifests itself. It keeps saying you as in the self and the I is the ego. The lover in your bed is a reflection of the ego. Without it the ego feels hurt and insecure and so you the self does. It controls you. The funny thing is Trent could've had no knowledge of ego and still wrote this song just based of the interpetations of his feelings.
