Pain

This song is about pain, obviously but this is how I break it down line by line.

Go to bed now I can tell - either really drunk / smashed or generally tired Pain is on the way out now - because he can sleep Look at the way the domino falls away - I see this as a moment where he watches a domino topple that hes playing with and its either in slow motion or significant due to the fact hes so out of it.

I know it's hard looking in - he doesnt like think about himself and sorting out something about himself

Knowing that tomorrow you'll be back again - he will wake up to be himself again Hang your head and let me in, I'm waiting - waiting to drift off away from his troubles

So long

I was staring into the light When I saw you in the distance, I knew that you'd be mine Am I moving back in time? Just standing still?

• i think this is a memory of someone he loved back in the day and now he thinks he isnt moving forward from it, maybe this is the root of his troubles

I met a man with a broken back He had a fear in his eyes that I could understand I can't even shake the hand Without breaking it

• best lyrics in the song i think, he has the same fear as a man with broken back but couldnt even relate and thank the man, he feels wherever he goes he breaks everything, maybe the relationship above

I've been pulling on a wire, but it just won't break I've been turning up the dial, but I hear no sound I resist what I cannot change And I wanna find what can't be found

• many people feel they are looking for things, not content, and really they just need to enjoy what they have

I'm aware of the time we lost Like a demon in the doorway, waiting to be born But I'm here all alone, just begging

Pull me close and let me hold you in Give me the deeper understanding of who I am Yeah, I'm moving back again, I'm waiting, yeah

• i think he is talking about his love again, wishing her back, when hes with her, she helps him look inwards and understand why he is the way he is and come to terms. Very spirtitual i think, you must look within to understand the world.

I'm just pulling on a wire, but it just won't break I've been turning up the dial, but I hear no sound I resist what I cannot change, own it in your own way Yeah, I wanna find what can't be found
