A tear in the membrane
Allows the voices in
They wanna push you off the path
With little frequency wiring
I think this part is talking about someone who has something wrong with them,
they could be struggling with an addiction,or taking the wrong path.
But you can do no wrong
In my eyes
unconditional love and acceptance is what this line is talking about. No matter what this person does
they can never do any wrong. They are perfect(:
A drunken salesman
You're hearing damage
Your mind is restless
They say you're getting better
But you don't feel any better
If you think about it, a salesman is someone who tries to convince you to buy their product. If they are drunk their ideas would be skewed, they would not know what they are saying. This is a metaphor, for what
the person is dealing with. They are trying to overcome whatever it is they are going through but
the person doesn't feel any better. (back again to the drug reference. This person could be in rehab, and everyone thinks this person is getting better but they aren't?)
You speakers are blowing
Your ears are wrecking
You're hearing damage
You wish you felt better
You wish you felt better
But at least
You can do no wrong
In my eyes
Despite the "damage" this person is going through, even if they do not get better or overcome their problems, they will at least have one person that believes they are still worth something and that they can do no wrong.
@mgmtfreak yes, seven years later I stumble upon your brilliance. I OD'd, ended up in rehab. This song WAS that experience for me...and happened around the time this movie came out... I never had any other interpretation. To me it was clearly about addiction and rehab. "They say your getting better but you don't feel any better" rehab/detox is an extremely painful, horrendous experience surrounded by smiling doctors saying you are doing better each day while you feel very sure that you are dying.... I mean your mind cannot even think right. Very insightful. Well done, you....

Beautiful song(:
this helped me figure out the "drunken salesman" part. That part confused me. Good interpretation.
