Songfacts®:

  • This is about how Brian Fair's father was an alcoholic and he was becoming one too but didn't want to: "I keep on falling off, this straight and narrow line, the calm embrace of a once sedated mind." Alcohol is a liquid and a destroyer of senses, thus "Giver of life destroyer of senses." >>
