This song sounds, to me, like the trials of being addicted to heroin. Of course the song is H. which is slang for heroin but put it in deeper meaning: "What's coming through is alive. What's holding up is a mirror. But what's singing songs is a snake Looking to turn this piss to wine. " The snake is the needle, here to help numb my pains, a great numbing sensation this is, its turning my piss to wine. "And I feel this coming over like a storm again. Considerately." This is my withdrawals, being sucked back to the needle. As hard as I try to stay away for my own concern and the concern of my loved ones, I keep being sucked back. Venomous voice, tempts me, Drains me, bleeds me, Leaves me cracked and empty. Drags me down like some sweet gravity. The drug wont let me go, its destroying my life but I cant, for the life of me, get away. I need it so bad, I want to get away but it keeps calling my back. "I am too connected to you to Slip away, to fade away. Days away I still feel you Touching me, changing me, And considerately killing me." I dont know life without you, now that I am clean, I dont know what to do but be depressed, this depression is killing me as bad as you were once killing me. I still want you so badly, I feel you trying to come back into my life. "Without the skin, Beneath the storm, Under these tears The walls came down." I am hopeless, I am weak and I am open, I cannot proceed. The walls are coming down. This is my withdrawal. "And the snake is drowned and As I look in his eyes, My fear begins to fade Recalling all of those times. I could have cried then. I should have cried then. " My sweet, sweet relapse. I miss you so much. I hate the fact I am doing this, but I need it so bad, I shouldnt have done this. This is the best part of any song I have ever experienced. I love this line so much, it is so compassionate, so deep. I listen to this song every single day and the moment this line comes on, my heart sinks: "And as the walls come down and As I look in your eyes My fear begins to fade Recalling all of the times I have died and will die. It's all right. I don't mind. " This is it, Im hooked again. I've already relapsed, there is no turning back now, and you know what? I really dont mind anymore. This is all I know so this is all I will stick to. I'm dead inside, I have nothing more to give, nothing more to live for but this drug. Sincerely, Lafayette I know addiction, I know the effect it holds on someone, and this song sounds to me like my own compassionate addiction which may be why I love this song with all my heart. |
