just thought I'd throw this up here since it pretty much sums up the meaning
"I wrote the single, Hell, about my neighborhood in Vancouver. The song is actually about more than that though. When I moved into my new neighborhood in December of 2006, the Vancouver Sun had an aerial photo of my neighborhood with the headline “Vancouver’s four blocks of hell” on the front cover. Welcome home, I thought.
The song was also a clever metaphor for my unrequited feelings, for a girl, not drugs.
In the end I got the girl, but the struggle for most people here on the Downtown Eastside continues."
