| I am a HUGE Silverchair fan and the I have read that this song is about people that make it look like they care about you, but really just use you for there own motive. They sort of directed it against the media as well....... | |

| I totally love this song! I actually don't think this song is about stalkers or anything, rather about everyone around Daniel and the rest of the band at the time after Frogstomp was released. Tey became famous and therefore people acted differently towards them and this was Daniel's response. He's mainly angry and depressed. He doesn't really care aobut life and wouldn't mind dying. Until I read the lyrics I always thought it was "Stop sucking the blood right out of my veins" instead of "Stop sucking the blood right out of me". These lyrics seem appropriate in its context. Could I be right? | |
