Question
Scorpion,
I love the song Tears In A Vial and was wondering what specifically Dave was talking about in the lyrics. I'm interested in knowing what he loved and gave up for something he loved even more.
Chris
Answer
Hi Chris, Dave is talking about giving up playing music to be with his family.
"This was one of the first ones I wrote after I broke up Megadeth. For a man to walk away from a multi-million dollar franchise just because he is not happy- he's got to be very unhappy. One of the lines is 'Forced to look deep in the mirror and face who I really am/now it's just me because I can't afford you.' that tells you some truths."
