Where am i now baby where do i sleep.often impacts on a person becoming homeless. What do you think of me?.feels judged due to drug use. You shock my bones.made me feel amazing but feels alone in his love for the drug now when he says leaving me stranded all in love on my own. 2000 years of chasing taking it's toll, possibly meaning that it feels like a hell of a long time that he has been chasing drugs and it's taking it's toll on him. I think he is singing a love song about his love for the drug, but the destruction that it has caused his life.įeels so good when i'm home, possibly meaning when he's clean. He says certain words throughout the song that link to drug use bleed, bubbling, crackling, vain, chasing. He wants out, he hates being stuck in addiction and he can see the end coming closer, possibly death but he cannot help himself he'll keep on doing it "Drivin' by the strangle of vain Showin' no mercy I'll do it again" When he talks about "she" i think this is him reffering to the drug. I belive this song is written about a struggle with addiction, a clue is in ever paragraph. He wants to be alive, he loves to be aliveīut the fact that he's alone is wearing him down He wants to know if she still cares about him He's longing for his lover (possibly another vampire) I think this means he knows trouble is coming He's kept alive by drinking people's and he feels no remorse doing it. Shows the natural instinct of being a vampire, for example, being nocturnal and hiding from the sun He relates his heartbreak about a girl who left him with nothing else He paints a scary description of where he lives He (is a vampire) describes the sinister state of where he lives. He'll wait as long as it takes and the 2000 years is just to show that he's been waiting for what seems to be like forever, but he loves this girl so much that he'll wait as long as it takes for her to come around and be with him.Stoplights are swaying and the phone lines are down but something he's doing is making her unhappy and the "coming closer" signifies that he feels the end of their relationship coming. same as the first, even though she hurt him by leaving him, he'll go through it again just to have her around because his love for her is so strong. Second part resembles that this "strangle of veins" is the loss of blood he's feeling from not having her around. the narrator feels like he's all alone since she isn't there and that his life feels empty and cold without her there. The first part of the song shows signs of loneliness. General Commenti don't believe this song has anything to do with vampires, but the fact that this guy has been waiting for this girl to come around for a very long time. Like getting over a break up that ended badly and he wants to move on from that episode in his life. I think this song is about realizing everything that happen during a break up, it's almost like he is trying to convinced himself to change for the better. He is realizing that thinking about her all the time is not worth it anymore. "Two thousands years of chasing taking it's toll" - He is tired of chasing her, always thinking about her until the point of frustration. "Baby I'll bleed you dry" - Means that he will try his best to forget about the girl until she is dry out of his system. "Open up your eyes" - Telling himself that he has to be realistic about the situations that happen and he has to "wake up." "Leaving me stranded all in love on my own, do you think of me?" - I think this is self explanatory, "does she still think of him?" General Comment"She took my heart, I think she took my soul" - She turn his world upside down, he wasn't himself anymore his life completely changed. That's why the two thousand might be the key to the song. The idea of looking for ideal love, looks familliar to christianity doesn't it? where you struggle for faith for your entire life. That means you gotta go forward and look for something new. So you loose your will to live, yet biologically you still go on. You doubt in love, the worst part of it that you'll feel like that many times, because that's life: "driven by the strangle of veins". So what do you do in that sytuation? you doubt. So with all that unrest, you feel that something bad is about to happen, lonliness possibly? It's coming.
Words paint you a view, of when the hurricane is about to hit, the lines about the storm bubbling up on the sea kinda hint this out, and those swaying stop signs, plus phone lines being down.
I love the first part of the song oozes with anxiety. The number is important, because it clearly points towards religion.īut it's not about religion, it's more about love, about the loss of it.
My InterpretationI still think it's: two thousand not two hundred.
