Three Days Grace – Painkiller lyrics
You know you need a fix when you fall down
You know you need to find a way to get you through another day
Let me be the one to numb you out
Let me be the one to hold you
Never gonna let you get away

The shoulder you cry on
The dust that you die on

I, I can be your painkiller, killer, killer
Love me 'til it's all over, over
'Cause I'm the shoulder you cry on
The dust that you die on
I, I can be your painkiller, killer, killer

I know what you want so desperately
You know I'll give you one for free
Forever you're coming back to me
Now I'm gonna give you what you need
'Cause I know what you feed on and what you lead on
And what you lead on

The shoulder you cry on
The dust that you die on

I, I can be your painkiller, killer, killer
Love me 'til it's all over, over
'Cause I'm the shoulder you cry on
The dust that you die on
I, I can be your painkiller, killer, killer

Did you find the another killer?
Did you find the another killer?

I, I can be your painkiller, killer, killer
Love me 'til it's all over, over
'Cause I'm the shoulder you cry on
The dust that you die on
I, I can be your painkiller, killer, killer
Painkiller

    I think this song is talking about guy who loves a girl so much that he's are willing to do anything for her and to take away all her pain. That he is willing to help however he can to ease her problems. And he lets her vent her anger and pain and frustration through him. And that because of this she love him to the point that he becomes her addiction. I think it's a love song in a simple disguise. But as always there's more than one interpretation.

    This song is almost the voice of addiction, the voice that urges you to take that pill or drink that bottle. It describes how someone is so addicted to something they cannot escape it, even though it could kill them and be the last thing they do. It describes how someone's emotional agony forces them into trying to numb their pain/life out with an addiction. From a personal perspective of dealing with a Codeine (painkiller) addiction, this song describes exactly how the addiction feels "The shoulder you cry on" and is pretty much the way my addiction speaks to me.

    This song is about depending on something so much that it could end up killing you. The song is from the perspective of the thing that you rely on to reduce the everyday pain that you feel and it is saying that I will be the end of you unless you find another way to take your mind off whatever is causing your pain but don't get too attached to it as then it would take the place of me being a painkiller.
