This is another fictional lyric, kind of obscure and cryptic. It basically says to the woman if you want to be happy follow Me down. Down where, I don't know. And all my relationships I've always said to women be who you are be who you want to be and if you want to go just go. Sometimes we took break from each other and got back together, and sometimes we didn't. I guess follow me down can have a double meaning it can mean follow me down a road to success, or follow me down the road to demise.

This lyric was inspired by Pearl jam song hard to imagine. Eddie vedder is one of the greatest songwriters that I've ever experienced listening to. This isn't a true story at all, as far as me ever having somebody to be my wife, but it is true in a sense that I was a very selfish person when I was using drugs and alcohol, and if I did have somebody that was in love with me I would have told them that's okay but I'm not interested. Like it says in the song I didn't care about anyone else, let alone myself. I've had to say many times to people that I was sorry.

This is a total cryptic lyric. It can be for whatever anyone wants it to be, or how they interpret my lyrics. I wrote this with no particular meaning in mind. I wanted to use metaphors more in my lyrics so I did so in this particular song. It's also about someone who's out of touch with reality. Over the top....
