I see you choke and it takes my breath away.” This shows Vic watching, say, Jason struggle with BPD. So in a way you didn’t, but you still did.

I mean, sure you upset me, but I’m fucked up. Jason is sort of saying, “It isn’t your fault I’m suicidal. We are (usually) very suicidal people, so it doesn’t take much to push us over the depression bridge. People without BPD usually feel like it’s their fault they offended or upset someone with it. Well I guess we'll never know.” With BPD, we over analyze everything (for example, me with this song), get over offended, worry too much over what people think of us, etc. So, the song starts out with Jason saying, “Don't you say you had a part of it. I have Borderline Personality Disorder, and I really relate to this song, ergo, I feel it’s about the struggle with BPD. My InterpretationAlright, so this is really long, and I’m sorry, but I really just had to get my two-cents in here. While for me this song is clearly about addiction, others may see it differently and I love that. What I love the most about music is that its all open to interpretation. Very rarely do addicts do it to hurt others.

This shows that the only person they were trying to hurt was themselves. Some of these lines have been said to me in an effort for other people to help me. I first heard this song while I had just gotten clean and it really spoke to my addictions.Īs a person that was suicidal this stanza was very chilling. I personally have spent years trying to break free from self harm and depression. My InterpretationFor me this song is about suicide/depression/addiction. This is a great song and I also suggest the book. I just read the book 'Looking for Alaska' by John Green and I feel like the book and this song deal with the same concepts-the labyrinth of suffering. The comforter once again apologizes for bringing them into the great escape and gives up on trying to get out, accepting the labyrinth: The friend is trying to comfort the one with suicide thoughts but fails: 'But I’ll never wander my friend The comforter is convincing the one comtemplating suicide that they can forget and leave behind their bad life without suicide in a way that would be better for everyone: 'Constant recovery' means that it will get better The person is trying to get out of the 'labyrinth of suffering' through suicide. My InterpretationI think this song is about a friend who is considering suicide ('I know you're tortured within') and it's affecting other people's lives. I only meant to do this to myself, to myself, to myself I never meant to hurt nobody, no no, yeah

Oh, I became the train as you backed up on the ropes I see you choke and it takes my breath awayĪm I the only one that thinks that you should stay alive
