From a purely personal level, I can feel a lot of interesting shifts of perspective from lyric to lyric. From feeling that I was the one left behind to also relating to being the one whose friends watched suffer as I let myself emotionally self-destruct. This probably has to do with the fact that in my case my wife left me for a "friend" of mine. Lyrics mean different things to different people, obviously.
This is one of my favorite songs ever. Great melodies, great lyrics that can mean many things to many people. There are also some great live recordings that are even more emotionally charged and driven with "rock rage". To this day, I still get the chills after hearing the first 2 seconds of the song.

WELL written - and agree that vthere are even better live recordings than original. MY absolute favorite: Soundclip of Candlebox performing their great song "Far Behind" and a little jam of Jimi Hendrix "Voodoo Chile" from Woodstock 94. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuWuF97i2sw
