The first voice is 'addiction' (drugs/alcohol/sex) asking - do you really want to try this danger? Brilliant lyrics 'are you ready for the feeling to leave? So you can breathe and not live with the danger'. A tight package signifying the circle of addiction with the intent to become clean. But it's always there, you can pretend for a short while. (My voice) Feeling of regret (I was bad) should have been down (not high) Addiction says "I can take it all away" while MY inner voice says I should have chosen differently, but I did it anyways... what was I to do? Addiction promises to take away the pain and start the healing - this is just my interpretation. 'Ready for scars to bleed?' we have been over this before many times like a scar that has healed but we cut the scar again. Pulling out the invaders: Pushing away people that love you because when you are in a state of mental anxiety and addiction you hurt those who love you. Eventually they can only show you love by cutting you off until you care for yourself. ... however there are always 'excuses' that allow one to remain in the circular pattern. { Dear Addiction, I admire your dedication! } For the inner voice to escape - deal with the pain and stop listening to the allure of addiction.
