This song reminds me of the guy I was with at the time.
He was a former heroine addict and current cocaine addict. I didn't know it at the time but gradually realized this as I began to unravel the well crafted wall of lies he built. Drug addicts are truly gifted at lying. He had me defending him when other people called him out on it and he would tell me lies upon lies about everything. This song actually fits the situation so perfectly from my perspective it's creepy. He had issues with his mother which he of course distorted when telling me about it. He made her out to be the bad guy but really she just wouldn't let him come home until he could pass a drug test. He only ever admitted to me once that he was still using then tried to deny it afterwards. I honestly think that sometimes he even thought he was okay. It got the point where it was like he was hanging off a cliff and I was holding his hand, constantly slipping closer to the edge, and I realized that if I let go, he would hit the bottom, and if I held on, he would hit bottom. It came down to whether or not I was going to fall too. I couldn't save us both, and I didn't even do drugs. It was the emotional burden of trying to help someone who isn't ready to be helped.
i'm sure every song has a different meaning to the artist and to everyone who hears it but that's just what this song means to me.
