When I first heard this song and especially after watching the music video, I couldn't help but not to be affected by it - going back a few years I went through a downward spiral of self harm and depression, eventually I managed to let go of most of my self-destructive qualities but much of the depression and loathing remained, leaving me metaphorically dead to my surroundings, sort of in a deep sleep - however someone close to me, continued to try to awaken me from this, which initially stung like hell (somewhat similar to the lyrics) and eventually leaving me with something I couldn't ignore - cold hard truth.
Added to say - the bomb in the video clip has the word 'Smiths' printed on the face of the clock - reminded me of The Smiths and the line 'if it's not love, then it's the bomb that will bring us together' probably unrelated but, eh maybe.
