Content

The song is said to be about a girl who is feeling depressed as she comes to grip with her own mortality, recalling her young life as a Hollywood socialite, glamorous days, drug fueled nights, ultimately winding up a washout on the edge of town where only the drugs keep alive the memory of what was.[2]
