I know a lot of people are trying to say schizophrenia, paranoia, or some crap about relationships, but as someone with anxiety, i can tell that this is what this song is tackling. The lines "Especially at night I worry over situations I know will be alright Perhaps it's just imagination" is what puts this in my head, as this is largely what having anxiety is like. It might be similar to other mental illnesses, but i'm sure anxiety is the main subject. As for the "ghosts appear and fade away" i'm sure it is meant to be taken in a metaphorical sense. With anxiety problems really do haunt you like ghosts. |

i would have to agree on this one but at the same time not really. it's more like -as you said- he's dying and reassuring everyone he lived a full life BUT to not be sad because he lived so well and he might not mind death too much. but at the same time it kinda sounds like he is reassuring himself he lived well. |

sounds like a mix of anthropohobia -the fear of people-, constant paranoia, and schizophrenia and possibly full blown insanity. i say anthropophobia because it says "don't come in i'll only run and hide" meaning he is so scared of people his resort is to hide. i say paranoia because when it says "don't you invade my home," it is displaying he is paranoid of people breaking in. schizophrenia because he is hallucinating a "childhood friend" but he is all alone. finally "Is it the man come to take me away? Why do they follow me?" gives the impression (to me at least) that someone from a mental ward has came to take him in. |
