I agree with the comments before mine- maybe because I can relate. But lately I’ve been thinking a lot about Layne, and can’t help but tie this to him as well. Boggy depot came out in ‘98 do he was still alive but the heroine addiction was certainly prevalent. The opening lyrics about caging a bird to show your might... i guess I relate to that, too... like putting yourself theories by more shot to show your strength because you handle it.. even if in a maladaptive way. And then if you think of Layne as the refugee, he barred himself off and isolated himself in some sort of escape.. and didn’t let his closest friends in.. and it sounds like Jerry misses him.. “tell me once again, that you’d like to be my friend, while we run, a race of one (the band).” And Then the end is about seeing a friend in danger of death, and wanting them to choose life, because you miss them and you live them, but ultimately it is their choice... and if they are going to choose death to get it over with because it’s all so painful, this all-consuming fear in anticipation. So, I see it both in relation to Layne or a relationship. It all sort of blends in relation to my last relationship and the aftermath and fears, anyways.

@cchr9ts great analysis, similar to my own, which I just added. Being part of Layne\'s sphere was definitely a "love hate love" relationship. ????
