Amanda Nyanko from Youtubemansion, San Bruno, CaliforniaI sometimes associate this song with waking up on a school day, I fell asleep listening to the rock music radio and this song is playing.Kayla from Oklahoma City, OkThis is a kick-ass song.It's only my shadow creepin' on the ground" again referancing the shadow people following you and paranoia "Saying all I know is I gotta get away from me"- wants to just stop and go back to normal "I think I'm gonna roll But I think it's kinda weak"- a roll/spun/a sick one/high on meth but its weak so they are out of dope "There's demons in my head And it's more than I can take"- repeated paranoia referance

"Sitting on the bed Or lying wide awake"-you cant sleep so you just lay their knowing you need to sleep "One guy that I can't shake Over my shoulder is a big mistake"- realizes hes paranoid and the people hes seeing arnt there "I'm paranoid of people and it's starting to show"-again the paranoia "Too fast or a bit too slow"-your mind races and you dont realize how much time passes making you slower to do the things u need to The walls are shakin' and they're closing in"- paranoia "There's someone around me just a step behind"-feel like theres shadow ppl following u "Getting edgy all the time"-makes you jittery Andrew from Ny, Nyit sounds to me like the song is talking about coming down from tweak every line ties in far to well for it to be coincidence.Matt from Eville, IlI wouldn't say tweakin on meth, not like they're scott weiland or fergy, but i'd say that this song relates extremely well to a bad shroom trip.As a psychic you experience these things and even more! Just laying out here looking at the Milky Way & The Great Rift. And I'm a psychic Native American in apprenticeship to being a medicine man. But ya know, this sounds like everyday ordinary stuff in my life. I'm still an OFFSPRING fan and just caught them on tour when they were in Europe this month. He expressed the way a lotta us feel when too stressed out an about to blow a fuse. Rocky from Tulsa, OkI love most of the stuff Dexter writes and this is no exception.And 20 years older!! (gasp) And that means I'm 20 years older too-and I look it. My boyfriend Jed related well to this song's message back in '94 & '95 when he was "out of control." But he's cleaned up his act and is a cool dude now. The message in this song is tough and hard. Back in '94, my oldest brother bought the CD "Smash" and became an Offspring fan. Just cannot believe that 20 years have passed. Babbling Babette from Tulsa OkI still love this song from "Smash" in 1994.Zero from The Abyss, NjI never did drugs, but this song describes me to a tee (chronic anxiety).Kommandant from FinlandAmong the others, this album has had such a huge impact in my life ever since my best friend's big brother bought it on '94-'95 and played it too loud in his room so we could hear it too, and ever since, for 25-26 years, it has spoken my mind.Įven today, in the middle of the night, laying on my bed wide awake, I feel this sooo much.
