Help me possibly dissect the meaning of this?

Question

My friend wrote this, when I asked her whats it about.. she said she doesn't really quite know herself? Can you tell me what you think it could be about? --And it has nothing to do with drugs, just to rule out that thought.

The ringing in my head I want it to stop but maybe I want it there too...Ringing in and out of my head I can live without this ringing but when its back in my grasp I feel as if I need to breathe it, feel it, once again just to feel alive again ..Does that mean I’m dead? The living dead huh...That doesn’t sound too bad or maybe I just rather let myself feel dead and drown in my selfish desires maybe … if so ..Won’t you please forgive me once more?

Answer 1

The meaning of this is that your friend is going through a self-indulgent phase.  

Tell her to get out of the house and find some volunteer work to do. I guarantee the "stream of consciousness" garbage will stop.

Answer 2

i think she doesnt know what shes got over something int he past but its come back to her and know shes confused  so she gives in to things she knows she shouldnt

Answer 3

...your friend lacks purpose and direction in life...a case of tinnitus too...

...good luck...

Answer 4

It means she needs to ANSWER THE PHONE!  

(That was tooooo easy.)

Answer 5

I think that she might be on some drugs.

Answer 6

well i know it doesn't mean she dead because that would mean that I am not real, and that would me tight now i am dead and i guess im in the after life (which isnt quite as good as they hype it up, but then again all that hype has happened while im dead so now im just getting confused)

anyway...

I think the ringing is something that is bothering her because the only things humans like more than happiness is pain (sounds weird but if you read "the philosophical inquiries between the sublime and the beautiful" it helps explain it) that is why whenever she starts to think about it she wants to keep thinkin about it

Answer 7

What I get from it, is something is on her mind that could really affect her life either in a positive or negative way. The ringing could be telling her to sit down and think about all the things going on in her life. She wants it to stop ringing (stop thinking) about it b/c its possible that she doesn't know where to start about resolving the issue/problem. At the same time she wants it to continue b/c she knows that one day a decision about it will have to be made.

The sentence ending in "just to feel alive again" sounds like it could be something that positive move on her, once she finds out how to confront it. It is something that she could live without but if she keep ignoring it, it could be something that could have been a very positive move in her life. That is just my opinion, hope it give some help.  

Answer 8

it might be referring to a type of love that someone might have for say a sibling or a boyfriend. they will annoy you and drive you up the wall, but no matter what, you know that they are so important to you that you cannot live without them.
