OMG!! I heard this song back in '98 and i became obsessed with it...i was still trying to learn English and i just remembered the part that says "they think i'm crazy" but i had the melody in my head...then tonight, I searched for Not An Addict (cause i effing love that song) and i came across with this video/song and i swear, I started to scream like a crazy person...can't believe I've found this song that has haunted me for almost 15 years!!!!!
I think the story here is that this man, that everybody thinks is crazy, is in fact the sane one. Everyone else is going through the insanity that is everyday day life, conforming to rules and roles and obligations while he gets everything for free in the "nut house", he can be anything and anyone he wants to. He is trully free. The video clip kinda reflects that, with everyone one outside acting nuts, and billy being stalked by the shrink and then by the agents.
@wowmalsim They are onto him, they know he cannot be allowed to be free to tell everyone they can also be free and disrupt the status quo of our rotten society. Or maybe he is just crazy and paranoid, that's the beauty of it :)
@wowmalsim the everybody acting nuts part are his delusions. you can see that when the camera zooms out they disappear and he's the one acting weird. i just don't get why does he have the keys in the end and why is sarah on the couch. maybe the guy is a shrink who sees shit cause he's exposed too much to his patients? i dunno.
I am bi-polar and have suffered insanity no less than 5 times due to child hood trauma at the hands of a sexually abusive man.. I was only 5 at the time and to this day 40 years later I still see and feel through the eyes of a child. This video really touches me, cause I have gone to those strange dark places of the soul and have had my reality ripped to pieces and i did not know if i would ever get out, music is one thing that really helped to heal me, thanks for posting this beautiful video
i dont know if the lyrics have to do with something that obvious like the mental insanity. i think they are deeper. maybe its a symbolism of being trapped in yourself, letting go of anything in your life, not caring any more about nothing and no one. having no meaning. then again, maybe it just is billys story.
@britpoppansy Actually...you're the one who is way off. I saw them live in a small club back around 2003, and she explained the story of the song. She said she wrote it about a person in an asylum, suffering from dimentia. The song is also from the 1998 album "Cocoon Crash".
surely the dope cost something...poor guy:)

Thanks a lot for uploading this clip in HQ!
The song is about a man who's being held in a psychiatric hospital.
He suffers from a mental illness and he tells his story
In the end (the last paragraph) he repeats what he have said in the beginning, which symbolize his illness.
