All I know is the last verse has to do with Laynes longtime girlfriend. She died from bacterial endocarditis in the mid 90s (infection of the heart valve normally from IV drug use)
"Hey, Your weak will won't help her heal her heart
Hey, I'll bet it really eats you up"
His weak will, his addiction, helped kill her and it ate him up. This is one of their later songs, I'm guessing after she died?
@Tainted703 This song was written in 95 and Demri died in 96 but I think she was already ill (she spent the last 9 months of her life in a hospital). I think you're right, this song is about her too! I also think it has something to do with psychiatry because of the video!

@Tainted703 weak will refers to sexual appetite. He/has a weak will always looking for sex and attention. His weak will won't help heal her heart from perhaps the break up that just happened

@Tainted703 while I agree with your assessment, I think on top of that, he\'s also talking or singing directly TO the drugs themselves.\r\n\r\n "Let them do it again" (let the drugs take effect again)....he himself said at first that drugs were great ("you said you were my friend,") but they actually "turn me upside down" and make him feel "so down." Ultimately they make a fool of him over and over, but he understands this...but yet he doesn\'t/can\'t stop.\r\n\r\nHe\'s basically reprimanding himself through the entire song : same mistake, won\'t do it again, (the drugs) "slapped him" in the face...

The drugs keep "violating" his humanity, so much so that he becomes an embarrassment to himself and a laughing stock to others, yet he has no control over them, and so they are conjoined, forced into this devilish dance "again and again and again...."\r\n\r\nRead the lyrics from this standpoint and you can see this. Endless torment. ????\r\n
