Story Behind The Song
Wrote the song about people that struggle with addiction to cocaine and that is where the lyric When the Blade comes down/out came from. The lyric - the ropes been twisted too tight - is about the addiction twisting you up and not letting you go. Although it was written at the time about cocaine, it could mean any drug, or other addiction that cuts you down.

Lyrics
No need to hide
Through veils I reach for the light
I've lost my mind
The ropes been twisted too tight
la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
Save my life
I'm breaking down
I lose myself
When the Blade comes out
I can't explain
I tripped when I boarded the train
No need to cry
I'm nailed to the ground but I'm ready to fly
la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
Save my life
I'm breaking down
I lose myself
When the Blade comes out
Save my life
I'm breaking out
I lose myself
When the Blade comes down
Save my life
I'm breaking out
I lose myself
When the Blade comes down
I can't explain
I feel like rain...
