i wasn't aware of the whole meth aspect of this album the first time i listened to it. then i was at the height of my eating disorder, and everything about food struck a chord with me. when i ate, i binged on ridiculous food, and i always had something with me i could use to start off a binge. i took the line about showing up for dinner when they tell you to as people forcing you to eat, and then to appease them eating as much as possible and in the end purging and feeling like you won. just a little personal insight for this.

My Interpretation

wow...I interpreted this song in the same exact way. Going through the same thing as you did, and this comment really hit home. Good to know somebody else understands.
