Songs about drugs that no one knows are about drugs.

And is it possible that NIN's "The Perfect Drug" could be about opium? Reznor sure as hell looks like Edgar Allen Poe in the video, and i think i read somewhere that Poe did opium. but yeah absinthe is a strong possibility.

Yep, Poe was an opiumhead thru & thru.....then did his writing as a stumbling, bumbling genius.:\ 8( 8) =D :| 8o

I'm actually pretty sure it's about weed.

My old band and I actually played this song for a high-school talent show. I sang those lyrics with passion ;).

no, it's about getting the fictional singer "Pink" sober for a show. Most likely the "it's just a little pin prick...but you may feel a little sick" is naloxone.:) most people assume it's talking about shooting herion, but it's not
 
Erm I thought that is an unprovable point , is it the heroin that makes him able to face the world (heroin being well known for causing nausea in new users) or is it your scenario where he has still taken heroin (a tad too much) and is given narcan (thank god for narcan btw)

I'm sure the song is about herion, but the line I mentioned is generally assumed to be about narcan or which ever drug they would have administered

Tool - Stinkfist

"Something has to change.
Undeniable dilemma.
Boredom's not a burden anyone should bear.
Constant over stimulation numbs me
But I would not want you any other way.
Just not enough.
I need more.
Nothing seems to satisfy.
I said, I don't want it.
I just need it.
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive.

Finger deep within the borderline.
Show me that you love me and that we belong together.
Relax, turn around and take my.

I can help you change tired moments into pleasure.
Say the word and we'll be well upon our waaay.
Blend and balance pain and comfort deep within you
till you will not want me any other way.
But it's not enough.
I need more.
Nothing seems to satisfy.
I said, I don't want it.
I just need it.
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive.

Knuckle deep inside the borderline.
This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to.
Relax. Slip awaaaaaaaay.

Chupa minha pica pichu
Chupa minha pica pinto

Something kinda sad about,
the way that things have come to be.
Desensitized to everything.
What became of subtlety?

How can it mean anything to me,
if I really don't feel a thing at all?

I'll, keep, digging
till I, feel, something.

Elbow deep inside the borderline.
Show me that you love me and that we belong together.
Shoulder deep within the borderline.
Relax, turn around and take my hand."

This isn't about drugs it's a metaphor for the desensitizing of the public.;)
 
in reference to comfortably numb
Waters said part of the song is about the time he got hepatitis but didn't know it. Pink Floyd had to do a show that night in Philadelphia, and the doctor Roger saw gave him a sedative to help the pain, thinking it was a stomach disorder. At the show, Roger's hands were numb "like two toy balloons." He was unable to focus, but also realized the fans didn't care because they were so busy screaming, hence "comfortably" numb. He said most of The Wall is about alienation between the audience and band.

Holy crap, I was about to post that earlier.... damn. I just assumed most people knew what it was about. Here's a list of some other heroin songs that some people might not realize:

Rolling Stones- "Dead Flowers"

Pink Floyd- "Comftorably Numb"

Lou Reed- "Perfect Day"

The Ramones- "Chinese Rock"

Elliott Smith- "Needle In the Hay" (Pretty apparent and yet some people still don't think it's about heroin..... even though Elliott Smith was known to indulge).

Velvet Undergroud- "Waiting For The Man"

Songs about other or unknown drugs:

Metallica- "Master of Puppets" (A lot of people assume it's about war as the rest of the album is but if you pay close attention to the lyrics, it's obvious.... "Chop your breakfast on a mirror").

Nine Inch Nails- "The Perfect Drug" (Most people know it's about a drug and usually claim it to be heroin but surprisingly enough it's about Absinthe).

David Bowie- "Ashes to Ashes"

dude most of these songs are very obviously about drugs, especially waiting for the man come on you'd have to be retarted to not realize that that song is about buying heroin.8)

I dont know anybody who's mentioned or noticed this, but Depeche Modes Enjoy the Silence is SOOOOOOOOOO about his reckless love affair with teh smack.
Ive always loved this song....have any of you seen the music video? Fuck its beautiful..filmed entirely on a snow capped mountain, with David dolled up in a Kings frock, complete with crown ..and he just walks and walks endlessly in the snow towards thrones that just pop up from nowhere.
Stunning.


Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can’t you understand
Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Enjoy the silence

I love Depeche Modeq I reckon Clean and Waiting For The Night are about drugs. I wish I could believe that this song was simply a love song.. but now I read it again I can TOTALLY see the heroin references. Aw, it's even mroe bittersweet. Yeah, the video is gorgeous too.

Depeche mode are awesome

Actually, I think this one is about anal fisting/dominance/etc.

[in reference to Tool's "Stinkist"] I think it is also about pushing the limits/boundaries/ trying to find out the truth.

I don't think the song has much to do with drugs, really.

Yeah, I heard this too, the song being about a sickness that almost draws one into dementia...

The lyrics make sense if the song was about heroin also though...
 
I've suspected "Alone Down There" by Modest Mouse to be about cocaine or speed, but as with many of these interpretations, could be totally off the mark. However, the song "The Goodtimes Are Killing Me" is obviously about past drug use.


"Alone Down There"

How do, how do you do?
My name is you
Flies, they all gather around me and you too
You can't see anything well
You ask me what size it is, not what I sell
The flies, they all gather around me and you too
I don't want you to be alone down there
To be alone down there, to be alone
The Devil's apprentice he gave me some credit
He fed me a line and I'll probably regret it
I don't want you to be alone down there
To be alone down there, to be alone
Ah.
I don't want you to be alone down there
To be alone down there, to be alone
