I am happy to say that I have grow old with Placebo. I remember watching Taste in Men video back in 2000, buying sleeping with ghosts CD when it came out back in 2003, singing along to Meds songs when it came out back in 2006. It's like having an old friend.
Did you know Placebo is a pill given to mentally damaged patients? My point is that the pill is actually nothing. That means if you are feeling a pain in the stomach , doctors give you those pills making you think that its a medicine , in the meanwhile doctors also said that our brain has ''defenses'' to somehow fight back to a sickness. The whole thing i said means: PILL=NOTHING-->[BrainControl]=Brain fights sickness=No pill effects=You are now ok.
@pincle26 Just say you didnt understand the point of the whole crap i wrote , cuz i meant the same thing with you. With fewer words its like we say Placebo IS NOT a medicine , no chemicals in it. For the patients it is supposed to be a Pill though..got it?
@segisnogueras From what I can understand the song is talking about dealing with someone who is addicted to drugs and drinking. If you watch the video to it, it basically spells out that you can only help someone with these issues (or any issue for that matter) if they are willing to stop beating themselves up and try to help themselves first. Watching the video really helps to understand the meaning behind it all.
@BIitzkriegWow,your so smart arent you?I dont give a damn with all your fancy understanding.I can relate to this song more than youll ever be and i dont think it has something to do with all the things youve mentioned. Lol.
The needle and the damage done is a reference to neil young, the song is about drugs, obviously. How you were mother nature's son (a person, born in a certain way, with a certain personality) easy to understand, easy for anyone to relate to, and now after the drugs changed you because of a sordid twist of fate (the decision to do them) this is your song to say goodbye. he tries to pull the listener up from drug abuse.
The insults and realize reality in this song are just brutal especially with Brian's voice. chilly man. That's why they are a great band. They only play about what they know. It puts that honest emotion right behind the lyrics so rather than them just playing the song they are telling a story that needed a bit more artistic flare than most.
@GuitarTipsAndTricks dont be a fag... im tired of reading the same crap... can u just get placebo is just a fucking a effect... not a drug with no effect..its a fucking fake drug with effect !!...its just u dont know then makes us think their music is addictive like a drug but isnt bad as a drug .... so you see how smart are them... go and read a book for fucks sake.. wikipedia is not the asnwer for everything!!!

@Downstr0ke They proabably mean that in general they take a good feeling from the band but this particular song made them cry. Thats what it seems like to me anyway :)
Its the only song of Placebo that i like everything else is just crap

I think Brian has said that he wrote this song as a letter for himself, to get a grip, because "world doesn't need another dead rock star".

a placebo isnt just a pill.... a placebo is where you given somthing and get the effect )or think you do) or somthing else
for eg.
someone gives my apple juice and says its wine = drunk
gives you anti deprtessent pills and turns out its jelly babies = happy lol
ya get what placebo means?

May they be referring to drugs consume? Because the songs says:
"Your needle and your damage done,
Remains a sordid twist of fate.
Now I'm trying to wake you up ,
To pull you from the liquid sky ,
Coz if I don't we'll both end up ,
With just your song to say goodbye."
