This song is about addiction. The main character knows that whatever he/she is addicted to isn't worth having, but if it's gone then he/she has nothing. But soon it's revealed that whatever substance or feeling that's addictive is just a mirage in life, and without it..."I'd be just right."
lyrics
-------------------------------------
Snake run on top of the sand
And pours her venom into my hand
She's a slithery sinner that won't let go
Fire falls from above
It falls far below the sea
So far that the rain can't
It can't reach
You are the problem I'm having here
You are my greatest fear
If you were gone then I wouldn't have anything at all.
RØAR! She says roar!
Watch out for the bushes on the side of the road
She's gonna kill you now
Snake swims on top of the lake
And bit me again for heaven's sake
She's a slippery devil, she has to go
There's no room for you and me in this whole wide world
You are the problem I'm having here
You are my greatest fear
If you were gone then I wouldn't have anything at all
You come and go, you come and go, you come and go
Why don't you leave me now
You said the problem is myself
I need to know what you mean
You said the problem is my self
You said the problem is myself
I know you're lying through your teeth
Your eyes they're lying to me too
You come and go, you come and go, you come and go
Why don't you leave me now
You are the problem I'm having here
You are my greatest fear
If you were gone then I'd be just right
