Placebo: This Picture Meaning

Song Released: 2003

This Picture Lyrics

I hold an image of the ashtray girl
As the cigarette burns on my chest
I wrote a poem that described her world
That put my friendship to the test
And late at night
Whilst on all fours
She used to watch me kiss the floor
What's wrong...

   I think it is about drugs, and a Brian's friend that could have been in drugs with him, that's why he sang "Kissed the floor" un general he kinda said goodbye to that world of drugs

   Aging and the inevitable passage of time and the end of youth. All of this alongside memories of a bittersweet relationship from the past.

   It's about Brian. Moving out of a phase of his life but finding it hard to say goodbye.

   I think this song is about a girl that Brian Molko once knew and fell for. But upon discovering that he's bisexual, the girl left him and hence the song.
   
   I like this song very much it gets me feeling melancholic. I really don't understand what the song really really is about, but I do relate a lot to this song
