He can now appreciate God's creation, nature, for its beauty when he was using he could not appreciate anything, let alone a river. He is describing life, which brings ups and downs for everyone, but he is now "on his feet" meaning he is recovered from his dilemma and is no longer crippled by drugs. This peace will take away his self-destruction, meaning his obsession with his chemical of choice and his old self-defeating ways.

He is asking for peace in his life and to be free of the chaos that used to plague him. Since he has allowed God into his life, God has taken care of him and, although he may not get everything he wants, he gets everything he needs. He is now a decent person and respects others. God said "You gotta let it be," because the addict is known to get caught up in trying to change things that are out of his control, and this is often the downfall into relapse. Love, which I believe to be a metaphor for God, asked him to let himself be free of the bondage of addiction for the ride: his life. While he was using, he could never feel love because the drugs robbed him of that ability. Today he finally felt the feeling of love. He knows that until he does find that peace over his inner conflict, he cannot be very effective at helping others. He wants to be the good-hearted person he knows lies deep inside, and he wants to be able to help others, which was impossible when he was in the grips of addiction. When he eventually does find peace and serenity, he wants to share it with others. As they say in the rooms, "Keep coming back." He doesn't know what his path will be, but he must trust in God and have faith. It didn't take a week to become an addict, and it won't take a week to recover. While he once had faith and hope, the demon of addiction has invaded his very soul, turning him into a self-centered, selfish, greedy person he now identifies himself as this person "that's me."Īnother popular slogan of AA/NA is "Easy does it" meaning that sobriety can take a long time to achieve, but one must be patient. Have turned to demons of greed that's me. When they can't take anymore and he has no one to turn to, he "screams" (figuratively) in desperation, but cannot be heard, like the trees. He has "welled" all of the love they can muster by lying, manipulating, and stealing from them, taking advantage of their love for him. His loved ones cannot help him, no matter how hard they try. The feeling of being controlled by the drugs grips the addict at the soul and squeezes until help is found or death comes. Addicts suffer from insanity because, no matter how badly they want to stop and no matter the consequences, they will continue to do drugs even after their family deserts them and all bridges have been burnt. Insanity is a favorite term among the rooms of AA and NA. He is describing the disease of addiction and depression they are both diseases, but of the mind and spirit rather than the body. The message of the song is hope and recovery. However, though it is about drugs, it is also about God. That being said, if I've ever heard a song about drugs, it's this one. I will be the first to say that a song is not about drugs. I am not a person who perceives every song to be drug-related. I'm gonna keep for the end of time" -once they get that piece of mind, they wont let it go. "I could not forget but I will not endeavorīut I won't regret it never" they wont forget how they were self destructive, but they wont try to be like that anymore, but still, they wont regret how they once were.
