    Story Behind the Song
    The title, Placebo, is referring to the placebo effect. That is, being placated by something other than that which would legitamately make you feel better. In this case, the person in the song wants a placebo to dilute the pain of an unrequited love. The placebo, however, is not meant to mean a drug... Natural endorphines that the body produces during periods of physical stress are the suggested relief. The rest of the song is about of state of mind. The state of mind being described in the song is a blend of confusion, and mindspins being cuased by an overactice brain. The person in the song describes this feeling as being difficult to resolve, because it leaves them in a perpetual state of perplexity.

    Lyrics
    You are gone and my mind is gray
    I don't think I could make another day
    Without some form of placebo
    To bridge the gaps and fill in the holes
    Now the ecstasy is kicking in.
    When I say ecstasy I mean my body's natural endorphins.
    I get high when I don't try.
    Cause the meaning of life is to get by.
    Why does every thought in my mind end in a question mark?
    Going in circles chasing my tail.
    Looking for answers to no avail.
    I realize that years accelerate.
    Caught in thought I check the time; oh fuck I'm late
    For a meeting with anyone that wants to be met.
    And can tell me where it is I'm trying to get.
    Now stuck in the right place and the wrong time
    Trying to get back, but there's a really long line.
    Why does every thought in my mind end in a question mark?
