by far my absolute favorite song. the way its written and sung...amazing. To me this song is about getting caught up in the Hollywood scene and drugs and all that jazz. He's basically using the metaphor of turning into a werewolf to explain that he is a different person when he does drugs and I believe the drug reference is to cocaine. "Blood cells pixelate and eyes dilate" refers in a supernatural sense to a man turning into a wolf but can also refer to the effects cocaine can take on one's body. Also, "Cut it loose" refers, to me at least, the cutting of a cocaine rock as its broken down to sniff and get high. The line that follows "Watch you work the room" is refering to the way the person can easily socialize at a party or gathering because of the energy and happiness they are now experiencing. "her nose runs ruby red" is an obvious side effect to cocaine ( to whoever said you dont get bloody noses unless an eightball is done...thats absurd, if you are a cocaine user chronic nosebleeds are a common annoyance). "Deaths in a double bed" can refer to the exhaustion that takes place the morning after a night of party. She is probably sleeping her whole day away in a hotel bed, ignoring phone calls and seemingly "dead to the world". I dont know, thats just my take on this song. |
