Think what you'd like about this song, but it saved my life, as silly as that sounds. I've attempted suicide twice and was only saved because people who cared about me found me before it was too late. When I finally decided to "fight for my sanity," every time I felt as if suicide was the right thing to do, I'd listen to this song. Literallly, the song is about a woman who got married, was left, sprialed downwards, and had no one there to catch her. But it's also about society as a whole - we don't do enough to take care of each other. We fight the pseudo "war on drugs" without bothering to find out why people turn to drugs, self-harm, and suicide in the first place.
"What good is that when you live in hell on earth?" What an amazing lyric, because it's spot on about everything someone who's suicidal is thinking. Nothing matters because nothing will make the pain go away.
