| I think it's a song about a drug addict who ends up dying from drug abuse. | |

| It's dedicated to Jeremy Ward, who died of a drug overdose... I always thought it was the point of view of a widow - guess I was wrong! Maybe it's the fcat the widow spider eats her mate, and drugs are like that...they destroy you, although they fill that void "I never sleep alone". | |

| Oh, and the "swollen on the shore" part didn't have an obvious explanation either. The only thing I can think of is a bloated dead body washed up on a beach. | |
