olli explains it on his fansite. he has a heroine addiction. im an addict in recovery and i listen to this song everyday at least once to remind me of my reality. "started off as a one night stand, lingered to a fling" he tried it once and then more and more often. " the sirens and the sergents didnt seem to mean a thing" the women in his life and the authority figures such as his label producers, it didnt matter to him what they thought about it. " hide your fangs all you want u still need the blood, tell us that its different now ur up to no good" he tries to hide it but he still needs it and he puts on this mask for all of his loved ones and says hes ok and not hooked but he is. "take my had show me the way we are the children who fell from grace" help us we are addicted and cant stop. "take my had show me the way, we are the children who cant be saved" we are addicts and will always be addicted. "one more nail in the coffin one more foot in the grave one more time im on my knees trying to walk away" im getting closer and closer to death and losing everything i keep trying to stop and i want to but i cant. "How has it come to this?" "ive said it once ive said it twice ive said it a thousand fucking times, that im ok, that im fine, that its all just in my mind" hes in denial and trying to convince himself he dosent have a problem. "But this has got the best of me and i cant seem to sleep" hes powerless over his addiction and its driving him nuts. "and its not that youre not here with me its that youll never leave. "and its not the lack of his drug of choice thats tearing him apart, its the realization that he will always be an addict. "you say this is suicide? i say this is a war. and im losing the battle mandown mandown" hes contemplating suicide to end the torture and hes struggling to stay sober, mandown represents relapse. "this is what you call love? this is, a war, i cant win" speaking to his drug of choice as if personified hes saying this high followed by the comedown and the stress and pain u bring in my life is love? and he can never beat his addiction, just continue fighting till hes dead. "one more nail in the coffin, one more foot in the grave one more time im on my knees trying to walk away, everything i loved and everything ive lost" hes remembering everyone he has hurt and all that he has lost because of his drug use. "every second, every minute, every hour, every day, It Never Ends." he will, just as i will, and every other addict on the fucking planet will battle this addiction all day everyday until the day we die. that is the meaning of this song. much deeper than problems with the band or problems with a girl. he poured his heart into those lyrics. btw hes doing better and glad to say so am i. i hope this answered some questions and helped someone out. i really hope this helps someone out.
