I didn't watch the video. I only read imagery and discription of pills and heroin...as the reader, I have the right to interpret as I understand it.

I see nothing wrong with exlaining songs, especailly since everything is open to interpretation the minute you "publish" it.

yeah I'm new here too, but not new to lyric writing...I have written them for (making myself sound old) 13 years. (ok fine I am that old)

ok cool i hear ya! You have every single right to interpret it as you feel the need to do of course! i was merely pointing out the Video as it's not your typical video - much more artsy and non-commercial. A lot of the lyrical content I tried to convey not as exact metaphors but more a similar archetypal themes in terms of a video that works w/ the song/. A lot of strong and contrasting/dynamic imagery.

Also I should point out that this song is loosely based on Arthur Rimbaud's Une Saison En Enfer ( A Season In Hell )
