While on tour with Radiohead, Mark Linkous overdosed, fell unconscious and toppled backwards onto his legs, cutting of the blood supply for a good few hours.
Chemical build ups in his legs in those few hours meant that he was unable to stand for several months and had difficulty walking for the rest of his life. This is a song about wishing his body still worked as it should.
