I think everyone has the song meaning wrong. Sure it's open to different interpretations but I do think this song has a very clear meaning, the biggest hint being 'Injection'.
Why would this song be called 'Injection' if it was about drugs, relationships or whatever? It's so clear to me that by calling this song 'Injection' the artists are reffering to the lethal injection.
Do you spend your days counting the hours you're awake?
And when night covers the sky you find yourself doing the same
There's a burden you've been bearing in spite of all your prayers
There's a light turned off inside your heart, can you remember what it's like to care?
Quite clearly someone has some kind of life breaking condition and is lying in a hospital bed, unable to move, lost the will to live etc etc.
Knees are weak, hands are shaking, I can't breathe
So give me the drug, keep me alive
Give me what's left of my life
Don't let me go
Now read these carefully. He wants to be 'given the drug' yet that is meant to 'keep him alive'. If we take 'drug' to mean lethal injection then that doesn't make sense. The 'don't let me go' bit doesn't either. But I think the artists are saying that by assisting someone with suicide in that condition you are actually keeping them alive. You're not letting them 'go'. You're not going to watch them digress into a completely different person as they have no will to live and don't 'care' about anything anymore if they just continue in their current state. You're actually preserving their life for you and others and even the person in question. You're not letting them 'go'(go mad) by letting them go (die).
Pull this plug
Let me breathe
On my own
I'm finally free
Don't let me go
This verse makes more sense. Pull the plug to the machine keeping them alive. Let the person breath on their own. Let them be free and go to death.
This grip loosens but it never breaks
We carry nothing but a name you will forsake
Your words are always there to break my fall
In them I find the comfort to see through it all
Guide me through uncharted waters
Before we lose our way again
Will you be my compass
Until forever, until forever ends?
I'm not sure what this means. Possibly something to do with having to make the desicion to end someone elses life. 'Guide me through..." .... 'Will you be my compass until forever ends?'. Makes sense to me.
Overall I think words such as 'Injection', 'Pull the plug', 'Let me breath on my own' , 'Give me what's left of my life', strongly suggest that this song is about something more specific than dependancy on drugs/people and more about assisted sucicide or something of that nature!
