| she is the saddest girl i have ever known she wakes me up in the middle of the night just to tell me everything will be alright" All she wants to do every night Is to sit beside my window and listen to the sirens shes perfected in a fucked up way i love this line this whole song i realte to it so much, to me i take it as drugs, and depression and just losing grip of life just being dead from the inside and just being a body and hollowed eyes, this is me i fell.... | |

| I just read an older interview where Art said that the song was about a girl recovering from a drug addiction. Kinda like Art, eh? Anyway, yeah, Art's my hero. Best band that I know of, and Art is just a good role model... for some people | |

| Wow, Rabid.. Somebody beat me to my pet theory. Yup, this is probably about eating disorders, and I was going to use the same evidence you did. | |

| lol, the "she wakes up in the middle of the night just to tell me that everything will be alright" is kinda cute.. well, not if you go for her not being a girl but a drug version, which of course is ne of the layers, but the idea of a girl fucked on drugs waking up to tell YOU that everything will be ok for her is kinda cute. | |

| Amy sounds like she is a hot oriental number who knows how to party. Drugs or no drugs, whats cooler than that? | |

| "Yeah Amy smiles at me, tells me everything will be alright. Yeah I tell myself the same damn thing, Everyday." . . . I used to tell myself the same thing . . . not anymore though. | |

| "she looks perfect in that fucked up way, all the magazines seem to praise these days." I like that line. It basically says that society sees fucked up as perfect. I'm guessing this girl wieghs about 90 pounds. either from the drugs or anorexia or bullimia. | |
