SONG TO SAY GOODBYE- PLACEBO

God, this song hurts on so many levels. Beautiful song and video.

Saw them in Edinburgh few years back, great night! Thank you for the music Placebo!!

this is such a great song....i love placebo sooooo much, although i listen to metal most of the time...i guess there's something special in them....

i think its about heroinbecause of the lyrics
but the video makes it look a bit like his dad isnt actualy there, he passed awey.

i always thought this video was the son trying to show his father what he was feeling. constantly traveling (for work). though they are always together, they really arent. but i love reading what other people have to say.

The song is about heroin his dad gets submitted to rehab at the end...
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

this video makes me sad.
but i really love this band, soo much.
all their videos are something i can relate to.

I think this song and video are about whatever you want them to be about. The best pieces of art always leave their meaning open to your own interpretation.

Yeah that sounds like it's true. I thought the dad looked and acted extremely depressed, so i thought he was suffering from depression. And the kid felt he needed to take responsibility so he's helping him and taking care of him, and in the end he goes to a hospital etc.. But everybody else has very good points on what it could be about. Nobody has the same point. There's no clear meaning to the video, so I think you're right. :)
