Cover art for White Smoke lyrics by Every Time I Die

to be honest, I think this whole album is about human strugle with substance abuse...this song in particular about how the 'host' (considering the addiction a virus) wants everyone around him to leave so they wont be dragged underas well... and the fact that he wants his life to end becasue he cant live the way he is. "cant mute the virus, once it screams your name" is saying how once your addicted, theres no turning back... and "realive me of life, give me what I came her to get." he means that he wants the drugs to take all the shit away.

this is more or less a theory, and the only one who knows what this song is about is Keith.

yeah, that's how all of his songs are (I recall reading an interview where Keith said his songwriting process is to get drunk, then to go over it again once he's sober and make [more] sense of it.)
