My Sweet Prince Lyrics - Placebo
Review The Song (4)
Never thought you'd make me perspire.
Never thought I'd do you the same.
Never thought I'd fill with desire.
Never thought I'd feel so ashamed.
Me and the dragon
Can chase all the pain away.
So before I end my day,
Remember..
My sweet prince-
You are the one
My sweet prince-
You are the one
Never thought I'd have to retire
Never thought I'd have to abstain
Never thought all this could back fire
Close up the hole in my vein
Me and my valuable friend
Can fix all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember
My sweet prince-
You are the one
My sweet prince-
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
Never thought I'd get any higher
Never thought you'd fuck with my brain
Never thought all this could expire
Never thought you'd go break the chain
Me and you baby,
Still flush all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember
My sweet prince-
You are the one
My sweet prince-
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
My sweet prince
My sweet prince
Never thought I'd do you the same.
Never thought I'd fill with desire.
Never thought I'd feel so ashamed.
Me and the dragon
Can chase all the pain away.
So before I end my day,
Remember..
My sweet prince-
You are the one
My sweet prince-
You are the one
Never thought I'd have to retire
Never thought I'd have to abstain
Never thought all this could back fire
Close up the hole in my vein
Me and my valuable friend
Can fix all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember
My sweet prince-
You are the one
My sweet prince-
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
Never thought I'd get any higher
Never thought you'd fuck with my brain
Never thought all this could expire
Never thought you'd go break the chain
Me and you baby,
Still flush all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember
My sweet prince-
You are the one
My sweet prince-
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
My sweet prince
My sweet prince

chasing the dragon | Reviewer: jess | 2/16/11
This song relates to drugs to me. The dragon is his friend, (in he sense perhaps, that he's chasing the dragon) and chasing the pain away. But before he gets to high, at the end of the day, he remembers. 'my sweet prince, you are the one'. This could perhaps be a memory he is thinking of.
And he knows he can't chase the dragon, and still be somebody's 'sweet prince' all at once. So before he gets all caught up in the rush of getting high, he has to remember the consequences that mean the most to him. And it's a horrible situation to be in. Because he 'never thought' things would change so quickly and he'd be caught in such a situation. It is a very, very......solumn... Distressing, hopeless melancholy song. Put across in a very beautiful way.

I get this vibe from the song about drugs. The dragon is his friend and he's trying to chase the pain, and chasing the dragon is what caused the problem but the dragons still his friend.
And i think when he remember's 'my sweet prince, you are the one' it could be another person telling them how they love him. But he cant chase the dragon and be somebody else's prince. And he just 'never thought' things would come to this, to reach this point. It's very, very...solomn, and helpless, and melancholy. In a beautiful way.
Meaning | Reviewer: Daiya | 7/9/10
This song reminds me of something that happened to me recently, so I think I know what it's about.
Brian (or narrator) first talks about how he had sex with someone he didn't think he could get but later feels regret for it. He copes with the pain by means of drugs or pain (dragon, my valuable friend). Then he laments on how he didn't think he would have to stop so soon or have everything blow up in his face and needs to fix himself. Then the guy he slept with starts being an asshole and makes things worse for him.
So I think this is about AIDS. He is a straight man who ended up having sex with a guy and then ends up getting AIDS but still loves him regardless while the other man wants nothing to do with him.

Haunting... I can't get it out of my head. Would love to know what CD this is on, and if the rest of the songs are in a similar vein. (Have often bought a CD for just one song only to find it was the only thing on it I liked.)
