   He is singing about a woman he fell for who is strung out on meth.she tried to drag him down with her but he couldn't keep pace to keep her, couldn't throw his life away for her,couldn't slow her down, let alone stop her. Was tired of trying to clean up her messes and had to let her go.

   Veronica Hand, you are this person. I have lost two years, wasted in the whirling swirling kaleidoscopic circus that you call life. Is it possible that you also slept with 311 along with me, and well everyone else? I wouldn't be surprised.
