No Picture chris Average	#4 by chris at Dec 20, 1984 at 12:31 AM EST
	I think you said it well Ilove2hate218, and RebeccaSaxon, I think you're right, the song basically explains itself. It's pretty loud and clear. Maybe I might grab at a hidden meaning hinting that if you do find a love and its something like drugs/alcohol, that it could be very destructive. I'm totally not saying this as a DARE kid, and I'm definitely not. I've done my fair share LOL. The thing about drugs is that it merely is a tool. It will lead you to wherever you want to be. What claims you is addiction, the downer, and everything that comes with it. These are not meant to be felt, but because this world has some monstrosities that are full of hatred, things are the way they are. I've felt exactly this way before. That I was always a strong person but my weakness lied in me and how much I viewed myself as a failure. And life was always up-and-down with me. So much so that I could never enjoy the "ups". I was too busy bracing myself for the "downs." In a way I like this song in how it sort of advertises drugs. At least that's what crosses many people's ears, that they think its cool because it mentions doing drugs. Well, I think almost each-and-every person should do it for a spiritual reason or use it to dig into your own soul. Because you never know what you will find. Just remember, to do it so is merely a glimpse into who you really are, and don't think that it'll take you places permanently, because you'll always come back. At least, unless of course you do too much. So do drugs kids! No... not kids, but adults! But do it with descretion, and know addiction is a force that is incredibly hard to beat. I've beaten it a number of times but it always finds a way back into you. Just be careful...

	Hey Dropstare.. yeah you're wrong too.. the lyric goes.. "You always call me and ask me how I make it through the day I'm always falling I guess it's just gods way of making me PAY" yeah I checked the CD insert.. so you're probably wrong! you should get things straight before you try to be all witty and all knowing huh?

	wow, this song is definitely bad ass. i never considered it a radio song but i heard it on my radio once at 4:30 a.m. the lyrics definitely coincide with the music itself. good good song.

No Picture Eat All The Gra Wanna Be	#11 by Eat All The Grass That You Want Butler at Nov 12, 2004 at 11:33 AM EST
	Seems to me that he's taking drugs because he dosen't feel alive anymore, and want's to feel alive again. Also he want's to live again.
