You Lyrics

Anybody that has either gone through, or knows someone who has gone through rehab, could tell you this song is most definitely about the feelings and things addicts experience once they have quit.

"You shiver you shudder, recovers your mother..."

Is actually, "You shiver you shudder, recover is your mother. You feel it take control, All alone, Feel alive In your soul"

It's all about accepting pain, not hiding from it any longer. It's about the honesty of reality, and living it rather than escaping it anymore. It's about getting pissed off at anything and anybody that would try to convince you that drugs and escape is a better and more fun way.

It's about getting pissed not only at others around him bringing it around, but about getting pissed at yourself for ever wanting it to begin with.

"Fuck you!" is simply the ultimate angry reaction to all of it.

It's about survival.
