The subject of this song is Morphine. Morphine was named after the Greek god Morphine was named after Morpheus who was the god of dreams. As a lifelong insomniac, I have been seeking to be in "the arms of Morpheus" (hypnotic sleep) all my life. When you start taking Morphine as an insomniac or for pain or extreme depression (or all 3) you feel you are safe in your mother's womb and nothing can hurt you, it feels so good you will chase after that high for the rest of your life.
@SeventhHeaven5655 Sorry I messed up the first line of my explanation. I meant to write that Morphine is the powerful drug named after the Greek god Morpheus. Morpheus was the god of dreams. When you are "in the arms of Morpheus", you are in a powerful, delicious hypnotic state in which you would like to stay forever, but you can't. You can chase after the high, but have to take increasingly more and more of it just to keep from being very sick. Morphine is the man-made equal to heroin.
Actually his drug abuse is because he is alone and when he is on drugs He can imagine that she is with him..And morpheus is because he can't imagine her there without dreaming ..and in order to dream you need Morpheus the god of dreams..
DecieversFinery, i like your interpretation, but if i can add to that...?
I also looked up Morpheus, finding that Morpheus was the greek god of dreams, so you're very much right with your analysis in that he wants that perfect high he achieves to escape his debilitating depression... toward the end the sounds of his choking and sobbing are too hard for me to listen too though...
after reading the other comments and clraifications, i totally agree. I'm one of those who sleeps for as long as i can.. i wake up angry because i forget my dreams so quickly and it's what i dream about, what i FELT i dreamed about that bothers me the most. the Subconscious is one of those things i cant' controla nd it bugs me.
@theimperfektman i have been doing studies on controlling the subconcious it is the only way we will ever truely be free. i am tring to "program" or control dreams so that i can go anywhere i can imagian.
@bigdaddystratman i've had recurring dreams, with that deja vu feel. but everytime i feel something is slightly off from the last time. each time i get close, i wake up or the dream shifts. it's nerve-racking. good luck. the subconscious is a world unto itself. build some sandcastles :D
To me I always saw it as a man who once lost a lover, in a deep depression, he begins taking drugs, trying to regain that joy. He hallucinates slowly that his old lover is with him again, causing him to chase it more. He is furious slowly at the drug because he cannot regain the high and he cannot seem to call back the illusion [Hence Morpheus = Morphine] He wants to convince himself its actually happening, destroying himself.
Thats just me, everyone's interpretation is right.
well done :) the Morpheus Line had me alil perplexed but i think it's more the "drugs" high, not a particular drug. it's the high, indeed. Morpheus would be like, "the Changer". bravo
I can definitely say i agree with you on that. Morpheus being both the drug morphine and as 689 said, the greed god of dreams. As to say the drug would induce a sort of dream like hallucination of which like you said made him think he was with said lover again. :)
When he is singing about Morpheus, he is pleading with this God to give him a form of escape in his dreams. This song is about someone falling into depression, and they are losing their will to live.
just a little correction, he isn't singing bout greek gods or goddesses, he's referring to Morphine, morpheus, is his crutch, and his weight all in one it both helps him stay strong and weighs him down.
*sighs* I wish I had gotten into Hurt a LONG time ago. They'd been on my Zune forever, but I hadn't stopped to listen until a few days ago. Now, I could slap myself. :P These guys are fantastic.
this song and all their songs are so cool they kick total ass and any 1 that disses um i think is a moron now if u wona here 35 of their songs i got a play list of them so check it out
he's singing to the greek god morpheus! he would appear in dreams as a human and is responsible for shaping dreams! meaning that the song is about drugs to cause sleep so that he wouldn't be alone anymore! that what i thing it means!
thesidinator is totally right. but still, this band in my mind is one of the best out there. the only mainstream music i like is chevelle and the foo fighters.
dakman29, holy shit dude i totally agree with u... i love foo fighters and chevelle... foo fighters are my favorite though an i love hurt to. rite on bro
lol yeah nothin takes the foo fighters..they are incredible.. then idk i love chevelle too and im not the biggest fan of the new hurt cd..it jst takes some time to get used to it
yea my uncle got me into the foo fighters an i have not looked bak... they are the favorite till i die, an chevelle is lke incredible live if u have not seen them but i havent listened to the new cd all the way through but there are some good songs an some bad that i have heard
Loved Hurt for years FETHING AWESOME as the tanith say<3 Lifes to short to argue ppl, stop gaying up the internet, posting ur gay arguement where awesome good hurt comments go peace x
You make a good point.. although it might be taken better if you didn't degrade a group of people buy using gay in a negative context to make your point.
Seriously, Hurt have found all the awesomeness they could find, stuffed it together into a song (as I come to think of it, 22 songs), and then recorded it.
and now you're typing retarded things! I never even said u couldn't speak english i just think if you're gonna insult everyone here u might as well use something other then lol that's just stupid. Thats like me saying lol to u sir for being retarded. So wam bam there's a plan... don't be stupid
No, actually, if you had any sense of logic, that would technically make anyone who talks to me gay, it wouldn't make ME gay. So the more you talk, the more you're a fag.
well being that i wasnt gay before you started talking and i am now apparently, that means that you must be gay. You must not have allot of friends if all of them are gay. Wow from what u just said that means your parents must be gay too? Weird
Read your own own shit and if u respond this then you're a nazi war criminal who likes takin dick in the ass....
he's singing to god morpheus, (morphene, but not neccesary that type of drug), the effect fades in time so doses must be increased, it has soothing effects, gets you sleepy... not a worry in the world
Seriously Hurt is kicks the ass of the sun! Almost every song can relate to a bad relationship. Iv been dealing with the worst heartbreak iv ever felt lately and hurt is definitely the band to listen to. From Alone with the Sea to Danse Russe and thne to this and those are only 3 songs! If your not a hurt fan and uv only heard a couple songs then listen to the rest of them cause they're the most powerful band iv ever heard!!!!
the auld lang syne was a song done by the famous robert burns, we scottish and i believe others sing it at new years, auld lang syne is the scottish way os sayin 'long time'. thought id post as a lot of folk dont know what it means.
Realesed the new album nov 25. GO BUY IT! IT's amazing. We need more musical artists like these people, they're lyrics are incredibly inspirational and should become a household name. PLEASE go buy their album, support HURT best you can!!!!
i am very happy my friend suggested these guys to me ;D They're awesome!
