Wow, "Us" as in "Our Relationship". That never occurred to me before. I always listened to this song and got an image of a friend who had left his group. Maybe he'd been fighting with them, lying or ignoring them, generally running away when everything got hard. The friends are mad at him because of it and are saying "Stop running away from us! You don't care about us!" Oh well, i suppose both interpretations work.

ooh i love this song, specially cause right now i feel very related to it..like a relationship suddenly went really wrong.. and perhaps you try to fix it.. but you tell the other "you don't care about us.." so there's nothing i can doo, and there's no point on it.... i keep listening to it over and over.. my favorite part is the line of "think i'll leave it all behind.. save this bleeding heart of mine..." like maybe it's better to forget the whole situation.. it's just perfect..... makes me wanna sing it to someone i know...

mental masterbation is thinking only of the self and what you want for yourself.

i love this song.....my favourite line is "this degeneration, mental masturbation, think i'll leave it all behind save this bleeding heart of mine"
