i always used to think it was about jessicka being in love with a girl who hated herself, and no matter how she tried to save her it always just made things worse. , but then i read other posts and have a more detailed interpretation of it now. basically i see it as jessicka writing about a girl who killed herself that she was close to. the watch me fault her lines are pretty self explanatory. i dont see the poison as being drugs or poison, more a metaphorical thing. lotsa ppl cut to release something inside them that they feel is ugly or dirty or whatever (like a poison) and thats what i think it is in this song. i think its basically now about jessicka singing about a girl who just kept cutting until it escalated to suicide. i never interpreted it as her being hospitalised either, just jessicka sort of breaking through the bubble that her friend has built round herself to ask how she is and just getting lies (the girls defence) that lines so cool in its sarcasm. most of the song to me feels like jessicka beating herself up over what she didnt do to help. the 'i lay quiet' verse i always imagined as them in bed together (not like THAT) and jess finally feels like shes close enuff to understand, and knows shell get something important, and all she gets is that cryptic lin, but she clings to it anyway. 'if only id held on tighter' etc always make me think of hugs etc, like if jess had hugged her tight that night, or if shed just kept talking to her every day etc she cud have stopped her going. the regret in those lines makes me ache so bad. i also see it as saying, at the end, that jessicka, despite loving this girl, has a guilt over feeling like she cud have saved her by going herself or something, but wasnt as brave as her friend (give her my soul and let them take somebody else GET AWAY FROM ME) the get away from me line makes me think that she feels selfish, like she did something at the last minute for herself that pulled her away from this girl. and then at the end by repeating 'all over all over' she draws u away from the other girl so u feel like shes cutting now to cope, and then the whole song becomes a prophecy of whats to come. im not sure what the 'dreamt of a devil' bit is about, maybe someone the girl lost as a kid, like a father, a pain that led to the cutting (or at least contributed) or the sexual abuse thing. i always see it more as abuse.
