A Perfect Circle - Passive Lyrics Meaning

I like the first three choices very much.. But i also think it could be a reflection of one's personal life spiraling into oblivion..

A deep dark hole of depression. A person's life goes from great to horrible over an extended period of time, and that person becomes someone that the old self (Motivated, ambitious, smart, caring) no longer recognize.

"As dead as dead can be, my doctor tells me but i just can't believe him never the optimistic one, I'm sure of your ability to become my own worst enemy."

A person who has lost all motivation in their life that no longer cares about the things they once did, family and friends worry and try to help the person return to his or her normal self. One's self 'absolutely could be one's own worst enemy.

"Wake up, and face me, Don't play dead, Cause maybe, someday, i will walk away, and say you disappoint me, maybe your better off this way."

Deep down that persons sub conscious, is screaming, "Wake up! Face me! Don't play dead! One day you will snap out of this and you will soar again with ambition and if you or when you do, you will look back at the piece of shit you were for that period of time and use it as motivation."... or perhaps that person disappoints themselves and fails to find the person they once were and spiral into an abyssal dark hole of depression full of drugs and despair until they kill themselves or other horrible things.

"passive aggressive bullshit."

The person is angry because they did this to themselves, however they do nothing to improve their life or when and if they do. they are confronted with bullshit that limits or blocks them entirely from achieving their goal.

This can be with anything really... in my case.. It started with my Girlfriend cheating on me.. then us breaking up.. (July, 2012) Shortly after i relapsed on opiates after being clean for nearly a year.. My drug addiction got out of hand and led to the loss of my job,... stealing, fighting, locked up, and i alienated myself from pretty much all my friends. Vehicles broke down, house caught fire, and flooded Failed my fall semester (sophomore) year of college and nearly lost my scholarships due to low GPA... spend much of my time asleep when i don't have drugs and when i do i don't sleep for days.. This is how i derived my meaning from the song and its relation to me in my recent past.

As with the turn of the new year, I am working to better myself with the help of true friends and loved ones.. I have gotten off of the serious drugs and rely only on what my Doctor prescribes me to fill normally and we are tapering off of that as well. I am looking for a job again, passing my classes, sleeping and eating normally and somewhat happier than before... No matter how much i thought the drugs would help numb my pain from all the hardships life has thrown at me recently.. They only increased my depression and ruined the skills required for coping with such problems. I was truly more happy when i was in love and sober.. Sobriety is achievable on one's own... love.. True love.. seems a thing of the past these days.
