He's looking in a mirror and having a conversation with himself. He's bipolar, schizophrenic, or possibly an addict, and is contemplating suicide. That's what the lyric conveys to me, on an almost subconscious level. My interpretation may be totally different from geneticagony's intended message, but that really doesn't matter. If a lyric touches me, I feel it has good potential.

Geneticagony,
I'm going to change some of what I said before. I'm liking the chorus a little more now. But I think I would change "keep on rolling on" to something else. It's that little bit that feels cliché and dated to me.

Nick
Hi Nick, you got it exactly right, i was trying to speak from the perspective of an addict who is tired of not being able to control his/hers addiction and was trying to kill himself/herself

I get the rolling on bit, i´ll think in something less cliché ;)

Hi Geneticagony,

So ... you were trying to convey him talking to himself. I didn't see that at all! Dying, might just as easily as drugs, explain the singer's repetetive rambling there at the end!(double entendre intended) If you do intend on changing the rolling on part. How about adding a mirror reference there, for those in your audience (like me) who don't want to have to blindly guess at possible meanings. If I were speaking to "mirror me' here ... there would be a mirror there ... to make that clear. ;)

Hi Steve, the mirror reference is actually a pretty good idea, I´m going to work on it. Thanks for your input :D
