| i love the video and thats kinda what i thought the video was about...like the ghuy was upset and at the end he goes on medication and he's sitting in the train looking at everything and feeling nothing...why? cuz its all the same to him (i'm such a dork!) and the other guy in the train/subway car is having the same problems that he was going through at the begining of the video...i really like the scene with the moth and how he lets it go but its like hes breaking the cage that was holding it when all he was doing was moving it...maybe what its saying is that he wants someone to help him break his cage..i don't really know ... great video =) | |

| I think that this is about his addiction, but I also think he experiences a love/hate feeling with it. He loves to swallow the pills, but he doesn't like to admit to himself that he needs them to get over his "emotion sickness". He may think that the pills cloud his mental vision, hence the line "corrosive head pollution." I've battled depression and self-mutilation myself, and although I know I need my pills to help me, it makes me feel like less of a person because I'm more prone to distorting my life through pain and sadness... That's just my take. | |

| i thought it had to do with depression and antidepressants. and addiction. i can see how you'd get addicted to antidepressants. i'm on antipsychotic meds, and while i hate them i'm freaked at the thought of having to give them up. but, chipmunk, i know what you mean about being addicted to depression. have that problem myself. i feel like if it were gone, i'd have this big hole and wouldn't know what to do! erica | |

| the video is amazing and it clears things up a lot.... i thinks it's about everything building up (anorexia, addictions, anxiety, depression, anger...) and never showing it up, swallowing it until you explode.... until everything you've tried to contain just tears you and your life apart and there's nothing you can do... the video expresses very well what i'm saying, this guy almost drowns in his own bedroom, he's all alone, he thinks a lot and can't do nothing about anything.... it's one of the most amazing songs i've ever heard, really... musically, it's truly a masterpiece, if daniel came up with the tunings and ideas all by himself (which i think he did) and helfgott and averything... lyrically it's so expressive... it's amazing... | |

| i just think this is their greatest song ever. it captures the whole scenario of depression and anxiety. and yeah, also being depending on antidepressants which really sucks. it's just so damn emotional. heart-breaking. powerful. whoa. | |

| to freaky tweaker: it's never to late! Don't give up, if you need someone to talk to, i'll really be glad to help. In any way I could. everyone has a fucked up situation at some stage, some take longer, believe me, i know. to chipmunk, you can get addicted to anti depressants, they make you feel better, so you want to take them.... anni | |

| somewhere i saw a thing where daniel said this song is about pretending everything is fine and that u don't need help when its painfully obvious that you need to go on some form of medication. (Erupt again ignore the pill ) either way i'm in love with the part where he says "and all my friends say get up get up, won't u stp my pain?" it fits us all so well (i'm not proud of it but i have, at times, used my friends to make myself feel better, we all have)...just think about. this song kicks ass, daniel is an amazing writer! | |
