This is such an intelligent and beautifully written song that I can relate to. To me, the song is about a close friend (obviously a girl) who has filled up an emptiness in her life with self-destruction. "Sad eyes of a starlet glazed in promises made too divine to be real. A runaway too shiftless to know what is wrong, don't make it right," are some of the most profound lines. She expected things to work out like in TV or the way she expected them to, but didn't know how to make it work, and completely loses her way.
"Your reason to live became areason to die," shows that whatever she filled her life up with (drugs, parties, sex, material possessions, ect.) became her downfall. The song does suggests that she dies, probably through sucideg: "...and now you're gone," "well i just want to know you found some peace before you left this place." "Bound and bled, instant fame in red, now you're in the spotlight again."
This song is so tragic and powerful, and I can really relate to it because I had a very close friend fill up her life with partying, and it all broke down tragically for her, although, no the same way as in the song. Strung Out have the best punk rock lyrics ever!
