I'm an ocean in your bedroom
Make you feel warm
Make you want to re-assume
Now we know it all for sure
I'm a dance hall dirty breakbeat
Make the snow fall
Up from underneath your feet
Not alone, I'll be there
Tell me when you want to go
I'm a meth lab first rehab
Take it all off
And step inside the running cab
There's a love that knows the way
I'm the rainbow in your jail cell
All the memories of
Everything you've ever smelled
Not alone, I'll be there
Tell me when you want to go
Sideways falling
More will be revealed my friend
Don't forget me
I can't hide it
Come again make me excited
I'm an inbred and a pothead
Two legs that you spread
Inside the tool shed
Now we know it all for sure
I could show you
To the free field
Overcome and more
Will always be revealed
Not alone, I'll be there
Tell me when you want to go
Sideways falling
More will be revealed my friend
Don't forget me
I can't hide it
Come again get me excited
I'm the bloodstain
On your shirt sleeve
Coming down and more are coming to believe
Now we know it all for sure
Make the hair stand
Up on your arm
Teach you how to dance
Inside the funny farm
Not alone, I'll be there
Tell me when you want to go
Make you feel warm
Make you want to re-assume
Now we know it all for sure
I'm a dance hall dirty breakbeat
Make the snow fall
Up from underneath your feet
Not alone, I'll be there
Tell me when you want to go
I'm a meth lab first rehab
Take it all off
And step inside the running cab
There's a love that knows the way
I'm the rainbow in your jail cell
All the memories of
Everything you've ever smelled
Not alone, I'll be there
Tell me when you want to go
Sideways falling
More will be revealed my friend
Don't forget me
I can't hide it
Come again make me excited
I'm an inbred and a pothead
Two legs that you spread
Inside the tool shed
Now we know it all for sure
I could show you
To the free field
Overcome and more
Will always be revealed
Not alone, I'll be there
Tell me when you want to go
Sideways falling
More will be revealed my friend
Don't forget me
I can't hide it
Come again get me excited
I'm the bloodstain
On your shirt sleeve
Coming down and more are coming to believe
Now we know it all for sure
Make the hair stand
Up on your arm
Teach you how to dance
Inside the funny farm
Not alone, I'll be there
Tell me when you want to go

To me the first lines are anothony or the addict and last are like the girls response. Telling him with true love can solve the problem in the first verse hes telling her what he is and shes saying not alone ill be there, tell me when you want to go (leaving rehab or whereever.) then telling him she cant hide her love hes the only one shes been excitedly in love with "come again make me excited" bc hes like her drug.
I'm a meth lab first rehab
Take it all off
And step inside the running cab
There's a love that knows the way
I'm the rainbow in your jail cell
All the memories of
Everything you've ever smelled
Not alone, I'll be there
Tell me when you want to go
Sideways falling
More will be revealed my friend
Don't forget me
I can't hide it
Come again make me excited
"I'm an ocean in your bedroom
Make you feel warm
Make you want to re-assume"
Talks about how big can God be in your life... Big and deep like an ocean. Makes you feel welcome, feel good... Feel warm.
Makes you wanna keep on going even when the going gets tough... To not give up.
"I'm a dance hall dirty breakbeat
Make the snow fall
Up from underneath your feet"
I really don't know what's that supposed to mean, I'm sorry.
But maybe about how he can work magic... "Make snow fall up from underneath your feat".
"I'm a meth lab first rehab
Take it all off
And step inside the running cab
There's a love that knows the way"
It's about drug addiction and how you should drop it.
Remove all the bad stuff you injected into your body... "Take it all off".
And how after rehab there's a new life waiting for you.
"I'm the rainbow in your jail cell
All the memories of
Everything you've ever smelled"
You know how people get so religious when they go to jail? That's it.
And also how even during the darkest of days, he's there and so are your memories to remind you of a better time.
"I'm an inbred and a pothead
Two legs that you spread
Inside the tool shed"
Not sure what this means...
"I could show you
To the free field
Overcome and more
Will always be revealed"
Well, this talks about how he can open your world, "show you to the free field", overcome the difficulties of life and "more will always be revealed".
"I'm the bloodstain
On your shirt sleeve
Coming down and more are coming to believe".
You know how catholics drink whine because it's the "blood of Jesus".. That's the meaning of the bloostain. How you and God are one. And how more and more society is turning to the churches and starting to believe in Him.
"Make the hair stand
Up on your arm
Teach you how to dance
Inside the funny farm"
It talks about how believing in God sometimes gives you goosebumps, and how amazing that can be.
Also, how He can teach you to live your life.
"Not alone, I'll be there
Tell me when you want to go"
This is the best... It basically means that He will never leave you and always, always be there for you.
And the only thing he begs you is to not forget Him, because He hasn't forgotten about you.
Now, I don't believe in God (I know, after all I said it sounds like I got to church every weekend - my family is very religious) but this song is beautiful.
I love the line, "I'm the rainbow in your jail cell." It's a metaphor. I (the drug) was the one who made you happy (rainbow) when everything else in your life was falling apart (jail cell).
The drug is trying to persuade him to use again.
I love the eerie guitar sounds in the background. They are a constant reminder of the drug's notorious power. While the drug talks about it's ability to make him "feel warm" and what-not, he (and the listener) are emersed in a haunting melody that serves as a reminder of the pain and damage the drug inflicted.
The reason the song resonates with so many people, in my opinion, is because addiction is universal. We all have an addiction. For some people, it's drugs. However, painful addictions can take many forms.
A destructive relationship can be a painful addiction. The song resonated with me in this way. Love was the drug. The relationship gave me temporary highs that were so addictive that I accepted the destructive aspects of it. After awhile, all the pain and damage that resulted from our fights and arguments over-shadowed the brief moments of euphoria. We eventually detoxed by going our separate ways, but only after numerous failed attempts.
That was my addiction.. I still have withdrawals. I also know that my drug is still waiting for me to give in to him... To go back.. "I'll be there.. Tell me when you wanna go..."

As far as the meaning goes, I've always looked at this as a commentary on the battle with addiction. He can't forget it because it is always there in the background, reminding him of what life was like, and how he felt when he was high. No matter what he does its always there, trying to tempt him to use again and he will never really be alone because that voice will constantly be there in the background.
It's a really powerful song and I feel like it captures the mindset of a recovering addict better, and in a way that is more chillingly real, than anything else I've ever heard.
You know, or maybe it's just about puppies...
In the beginning it's the ocean in your bedroom because it makes you feel so nice and warm and comfortable. Then you're taken to your jail cell where your memories of it are very clear especially if you go through withdraws.
Spreading your legs to get that fix. (Now for me I have a legal prescription and don't think I could ever do that no matter how much pain I'm in, but I could see why someone would)
Not alone, I'll be there tell you when you want to go, I see this whole song from a recovering drug addict, someone who remembers the joy and pain of it. That the addiction is always inside of you, will never leave you alone and is ready when you are to either fight the temptation or give in.
I think Don't forget me I can't hide it, come again get me excited refers to the addict wanting to do the right thing but still having those claws in them, so they realize that they will always feel that rush if they are exposed to it but again really trying to stay clean.
I don't know if I'm right, it's just how I feel, to me it is all about recovering but it always being a dark problem that can come out and hurt you at any time if you don't stay on top of it. Keep your reason for staying clean in your heart.
