| I always interpretted this song as him saying he's stuck, and the parts where he talks about having a drink and saying "you will come down soon too" was him saying to people that may be looking down on him for being in a rut, or being a drunk, or whatever it may be, that they too will have their down fall, so they shouldn't judge. That's just my two cents. | |

| I agree as well. This song does sound a lot like it's about him coming down from a drug and telling other people they will come down soon as well, as in sober up. He had a drink, had things to say, and started talking about coming down. The rest of the meaning I'm not too sure of, but I agree with a lot of the things others have said. | |

| I heard somewhere that this song is about doing coke. You know, how he says you will come down 16x? | |
