>[**Claps** Great interpretation Irene ^___^ You may not have thought that it was very cohearant but I got the gist of what you were trying to say. I love that you saw it as an uplifting song. In fact I see it as rather uplifting myself, but its more on a personal level for me.
As you all already know, from my interpretation of 'Blind' I was pretty messed up when I was younger; self mutilation, a suicide attempt, and well you get the point. It was getting to the point where I just couldnt take it anymore. "This state is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating. Anticipating all the ******** up feelings again." When this song came out I was literally at the peak of my depression. Things were so messed up and the pain inside was turning into pure hatred; for myself and everything around me. Things were just getting worse, and I knew it. I knew I had to do something and I knew that these feelings werent just going to go away with the medication that obviously wasnt working. "This shits gone way too far. All this time I've been waiting. Oh I cannot grieve anymore " I had literally spiraled out of control. My grades suffered, my relationship with friends and family suffered, my body was damaged, everything had just gone way too far. I had been waiting for an answer as I spiraled deeper into an abyss that I was hoping medication would pull me out of, but I couldnt wait anymore. The meds werent working, I couldnt take it anymore and my mind and body needed a rest from all my grief. "You've taken everything and, Oh I cannot give anymore." This depression had destroyed my life and I had nothing left to give. I was literally weak, sleeping all the time, and just felt like I was dieing slowly and painfully. I wanted to die, but not like this. "My mind's done with this. Ok, I've got a question. Can I throw it all away? Take back what's mine." At this point I was faced with a question, Do I finally just give in and let myself go completely or can I force my mind to stablize and take back my life? "So I take my time, guiding the blade down the line. Each cut closer to the vein." Oddly enough this line does not remind me of the fact I was hurting myself in that manner. I realized that there were things worth living for; my friends, my family, going to college, things like that. And somehow I managed to start climbing out of the hole I had fallen into. And each step, 'each cut' I took myself was bringing me closer to a better me and a better life, the 'vein' representing something I was struggling to strive for.
It took a long time and it certainly wasnt easy, but I somehow managed to pull myself out and get my life back on track. I mean I still have my episodes even today, but I dont really harm myself anymore and I no longer want to commit suicide. And it was this song that made me realize that I had to stop waiting around and wallowing in my own greif and step up take control of my own damned life. ******** the imbalanced chemicals in my brain, ******** the meds, ******** the self mutilation. Real strength and control comes from yourself! And I had to learn that the hard way. This song was like a slap in the face to me, a slap that I needed. This song probably saved my life, and you know what I am HERE TO STAY!]<
