| I just love the chorus, "my baby's got the bends we don't have any real friends i'm just lying in a bar with my drip feed on talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen and i wish it was the sixties i wish i could be happy i wish i wish i wish that something would happen.. " I wish that I could be happy, that something great would happen to me, that I could live in a different time, see things however and whenever and as ever. Fuck, this song makes me hate myself. But in the good, lets fix things, sort of way. | |

| the bends : decompression sickness If a SCUBA diver stays under water, say at a depth of 100 feet (about 30 meters), for a certain period of time, some amount of nitrogen from the air will dissolve in the water in his or her body. If the diver were to swim quickly to the surface, it is just like uncorking a bottle of soda -- the gas is released. This can cause a very painful condition, and it is sometimes fatal. I think this song is about a guy , who uses "the bends" as a metaphor to describe how much he loves someone "where are you now when i need you". The " my blood will thicken " could be related to the bubbles that release into your blood when u dive and get the bends . I think he has recently been let down by his friends and so he doesnt consider them as real friends as he placed more trust in them. He feels emotianially instable becoz of something people have done to him " i wanna live and breathe i wanna be part of the human race" Or i could be entirely wrong | |
