Ok here's my interpertation of the song which most people can relate too i thinks it's about a break up

You keep me waiting You keep me alone in a room full of friends You keep me hating You keep me listening to the Bends - the depressing music everyone listen too in a breack up

No amount of pointless days Can make this go away- the passing days just doesn't make things better

You have me on my knees You have me listless and deranged You have me in your pocket You have me distant and estranged - this part of the song is his change of personallity and he cant get her out of her head

No narcotics in my brain Can make this go away- he been taking drugs (for me it was pot and cigs and im not the normal chain smoker)

I'm sorry that, I'm sorry that I'm not like you I worry that I don't act the way you'd like me to- the dude just feels sorry in what he did wrong in the relationship

You find me wanting You find me bloodless but inspired You find me out You find me hallucinating fire- i think this part of the song the lover found out he was getting high and pissed or dissapointed about it ( You find me hallucinating fire- I think thats a weed refernce)

Have we ever been here before? Running headlong at the floor Leave me dreaming on a railway track Wrap me up and send me back - Im not sure about this part but i think they get back together but break up again I think (Wrap me up and send me back is a clear refernce to that)

... this is one of my first post give me your feed back in how i did
