Hereis the way I perceive the song: In my place, in my place Were lines that I couldn't change I was lost, oh yeah (In his head and/or in his house, there were mistakes that he made, which he couldn't take back) I was lost, I was lost Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed I was lost, oh yeah (He was confused and went too far with his Ill make a cup of coffee for your head It'll get you up and going out of bed I don't wanna fall asleep I don't wanna pass away I been thinking bout our future cause I'll never see those days I don't know why this has happened, but I probably deserve it I tried to do my best, but you know that I'm not perfect Dont get any big ideas They're not gonna happen You paint yourself white And fill up with noise There'll be something missing Now that you've found it, it's gone Now that you feel it, you don't You've gone off the rails So don't get any big ideas They're not gonna happen Ooh, you'll go to Hell For what your dirty mind is thinking LinkinPark A Place For My Head I watch how the Moon Sits in the sky on a dark night Shining with the light from the Sun And the Sun doesn't give light to the Moon, assuming The Moon is gonna owe it one And makes me think of how you act to me, you do Favors then rapidly Just turn around and start asking me about Things that you want back from me Letme begin by saying I was once a hardcore heroin/cocaine/benzo user. I have been a year clean and I use alice in chains as my higher power because I can relate to so much of what Layne is singing about in mostly all his songs. this particular song is about his life and his addiction in a "nutshell" "we chase misprinted lies" -he is talking about the money glamour and fame its not real. you Bitterthan sweet. It's a bittersweet surrender. I said I'm older now. I work in the city, we live together. But it's different than my dream. Morning light fills the room, I rise. She pretends she's sleeping. Are we everything we wanted. I'm thinking love, love. Iplay it in the car when my brother is driving me to school, and at lunch. It drives my friends cazy, because it's one of those songs that gets stuck in your head. I wish I could dance to it, but I'm hopeless at dancing.
