The lyrics are wrong, you have the demo spoken word as well as the CD Version, you should take out the first spoken word part.

The song is about 'hitting bottom'. A classic term used when a drug and/or alcohol addict has been defeated by his/her addiction and has a 'moment of clarity' where they get the resolve to deal with their problems instead of going back to active addiction. The song is being sung from the perspective of the addict to the addiction. Anyways as far as I'm concerned the song is spot on, it paints a very accurate picture of what addiction and getting clean are all about, I love this song, album, band. Peace...

Being a recovering alcoholic (6+ years sober now) I often found myself coming back to listen to this song for a morale boost. One of the main keys to sobriety is confronting your inner demons..your past mistakes, etc. Accepting them, putting them behind you, and continue on moving forward in life. Pretty much what I believe the lyrics cover pretty well..
