About this song
The song's melody is driving and fast, set against a slower drum beat, so the instrumental almost sounds like a hip-hop track. It held its ground on the Billboard Hot 100 for three straight months and became one of the best-known rock songs of its release year.
What it's about
The song deals with the cutting and suicidal thoughts of one of the band's friends.
