I just wanted to share something that not everyone realizes. Shirley Manson suffered from a very severe depression problem, rooted in very low self-esteem. I believe the point of the song is everyone tells you to just take a deep breath and it'll be okay. Which is absolutely BS. You'll get to have a little bit of a high, just to fall farther when the high ends. This song could be about a friend, a boyfriend, husband, parent. The point is, life may look really good for a while, and then someone will come in and ruin it, and then once they've brought you down they just start emotionally kicking you, because you care.
