So all these pictures of us,

Burn and ^Gmradiate... ^Dm ^GmWatch the clouds and I'm falling, Falling through the ^Dmcracks

Head beats and my heart is pounding fast.

"The song is meant to feel sort of like an abstract dream," Garbage singer Shirley Manson recalled. "The inspiration came from a story I had read in Los Angeles Times about the opium trade and also from watching the documentary Restrepo. It's not literal in any sense whatsoever but it's a song about disorientation and delusion and the human struggle to stay sane in the face of insanity."
