Don't know what's going on
Don't know what went wrong
Feels like a hundred years
I still can't believe you're gone
So I'll stay up all night
With these bloodshot eyes
While these walls surround me with the story of our life

[Chorus]
I feel so much better
Now that you're gone forever
I tell myself that I don't miss you at all
I'm not lying, denying that I feel so much better now
That you're gone forever

Now things are coming clear
And I don't need you here
And in this world around me
I'm glad you disappeared
So I'll stay out all night
Get drunk and fucking fight
Until the morning comes
I'll forget about our life

[Chorus]

First time you screamed at me
I should have made you leave
I should have known it could be so much better
I hope you're missing me
I hope I've made you see
That I'm gone forever

And now it's coming clear
That I don't need you here
And in this world around me
I'm glad you disappeared

I feel so much better
Now that you're gone forever
I tell myself that I don't miss you at all
I'm not lying, denying that I feel so much better now
That you're gone forever
And now you're gone forever
And now you're gone forever

    My Interpretation:While I do see the drugs relation, I believe that it's a bit less about a bad relationship.
    To me, it's about ending a relationship, whether it was good or bad to begin with. The denial one goes through when someone you love leaves.
    The verses are very much oriented towards underlining that the singer is not alright at all, while the chorus is always contradicting the verses, about how much better the singer is.
    I believe it's about the feeling you get when someone leaves you, you deny that it has hurt you, you are much better off without them anyway, but you know you are lying. Still, you try to tell yourself that it's all better now. It's a battle between the love you held for a person and the feeling that it didn't work out.

    My Interpretation:Personally, I think it has to do with getting over a bad break up- one of those that really screws you up inside. At the first he's lost and not sure wha tto do, then he figures out that he's better of since she's gone because she no longer can tie him down. Even when she tries to come back, he's gone. Not happening.

    Song Meaning:Awesome song. Meaning's pretty straightforward but it can have other interpretations (just as other 3DG songs have). In this case, drugs (again, like other 3DG songs)

    "Don't know what's going on
    Don't know what went wrong"
    He can't believe what happened and what went wrong.

    "Feels like a hundred years I
    Still can't believe you're gone"
    He feels like its been so long that he's stopped.

    "So I'll stay up all night
    With these bloodshot eyes
    While these walls surround me with the story of our life"
    Yeah..he's gonna stay up all night, happy but with bloodshot eyes while walls surround him. the walls could be broken or scratched and bloody, telling his life's story: being on drugs, attacking and breaking, and fighting.

    "I feel so much better
    Now that you're gone forever
    I tell myself that I don't miss you at all
    I'm not lying, denying that I feel so much better now
    That you're gone forever"
    He feels so much better. A lot better that the drugs are gone. But something inside me makes me think he's slightly (very very very slightly) misses it, as he has to tell himself that he doesn't.

    "Now things are coming clear
    And I don't need you here
    And in this world around me
    I'm glad you disappeared"
    He's glad the drugs are gone..This could have been set when he had slightly regretted stopping the drugs (the things were coming clear) or when he slightly missed it but is now sure of he's done with it.

    "So I'll stay out all night
    Get drunk and fuck AND fight (not fucking fight :))
    Until the morning comes I'll
    Forget about our life"
    Happy, he'll stay out all night, do stuff without influence from the drugs. to celebrate too. He'll try to forget about their life (the drugggss!) and all they've been been through..cos he cant put it completely out of his head.

    "First time you screamed at me
    I should have made you leave
    I should have known it could be so much better"
    The first time he was introduce to them or influenced ("first time you screamed at me" could be interpreted as such). He's saying he regrets it and shouldn't have made the choice.

    "I hope you're missing me
    I hope I've made you see
    That I'm gone forever"
    Just a guess but im guessing he's saying he seriously hates the drugs so much he wishes, even though hey are inanimate objects, that he made them see (as if it were a person) that he's gone forever. its also another way of saying "i'm done with the drugs"...that hes gone forever (from them)

    Thank you.

    My Interpretation:I think this song is about pesky hemorrhoids that finally get crusty and fall off and you don't realize they fell off onto the floor, and you step on one and shit squirts everywhere, hitting your dog Lucy in the dick and Lucy has to be taken to the vet where she later passes away from vaginal trauma. Such a sad song.

    General Comment:To me it seems like he misses the oxycotton that he was addicted to. He says, "I tell myself that I don't miss you at all. Not lying, denying, that I feel so much better, Now that you're gone forever." I'm not saying he wants it back but he is still partially addicted to the drug. So he has to tell himself that he doesn't miss it all, and convince himself that he does feel so much better without.

    "Now things are coming clear,
    And I don't need you here.
    And in this world around me,
    I'm glad you disappeared."

    I think Adam is reffering to the fact that he has realized that he doesn't have any pain without the drug, and that he truly does not need it anymore.

    My Interpretation:Yeah, I'm going with bad relationship too though it could be something else. I think he's sort of getting over the shock of it ending and realizing that he is much better off without the person in their life... But while he know this I think he also misses them.

    I tell myself that I don't miss you at all
    I'm not lying, Denying that I feel so much better now
    that you're gone forever

    Love the song, this is just my opinion :p

    Song Meaning:what i get from this song is he really is lying to himself but hes in denile about it.

    what leads me to think this is the part

    "So I'll stay out all night
    Get drunk and fucking fight
    Until the morning comes I'll
    Forget about our life"

    hes pretty much destroying himself to forget.

    another reason i think this is well, because i did that xD
