| Pretty clearly about love, but not necessarily romantic love... I've always wondered who Gloria was...thanks for clearing that Arienette. | |

| This is probably the 2nd best intro i have ever heard(1st is Killing in The Name by Rage Against The Machine).It gives the song an aura about it,like its building up to something special,and the song does not let down the intro.Great Song :) | |

| I always thought it was about a close person dying, or leaving... it's easily taken either way. Just a wonderful song. | |

| Damn you Woody87! Now that Rage song will be stuck in my head till I feel like puttin it in my CD player. Wait I'm gonna do that now. Anyway... I think song is about how Anthony misses heroine. He wants to go back to it, but he can't. So he's telling "her" how much he misses her and that it was the best drug he'd ever taken. P.S. FLEA OWNS | |

| Gloria was one of Anthony's friends. She was a heroin addict. I think that she and Anthony beat their addiction together and she later died of cancer. That's what I remember. | |
