Track 11 - Self Righteous

Supposedly this song, according to most people, is about doing heroin or other drugs. Some people say that it's about sex.

I can see those references and and I can see reasoning behind those statements, but to me that isn't what it's about. It uses those thing as metaphors and avenues for explanation.

I see it as about being in a relationship. One of those relationships that people don't approve of, for whatever reason. It's that feeling of a double standard when you are with someone and your friends can't understand it, but it's perfectly fine for them to date whoever they want.

It's about the stress that a situation like that puts on the relationship. It's about that terrible discussion of where you try to get across that you want to keep working at the relationship and you hope that they do too. It's about looking at the person and being able to tell them from the heart that they are the only thing that's real in the world.

Tune in tomorrow for “Company”
