Songs about drugs that no one knows are about drugs.

^Wow! I'd never thought of it that way, but that's totally plausible!

"Somehow, I have to make them
Just understand
I got it well in hand
And, oh, how I've planned
I'm spreadin' love
There's no need to fear"

That describes a really good E trip to a T.
 
Ok im sure a bunch of you have seen the movie 24 Hour Party people, wasn't New Order (one of the bands mentioned on here) one of the bands that started the whole rave scene at the Hacienda and shit? If so.... doesnt really suprise me that some of there songs are about E lol. I always thought Blue Monday was about the E hangover after partying all weekend.

Seal- Kiss From a Rose, its about blow... come on

OMG - I just went into my Rhapsody account to listen to it after you posted that... Your right!!! "When it snows, my eyes become large"
"Your my pleasure, my power my pain"
"The more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yheeaaaaa"
"To me your like a growing addiction that I can't deny"

4 verses among many... I'm never going to listen to that song in the same way again!! Thanks for the heads up!! =D I always just thought he was talking about a girl.... Hey HE WAS!

Foo Fighters - All My Life --------- Everyone thinks it's about sex!


All my life I've been searching for something,
something never comes, never leads to nothing,
nothing satisfies, but I'm getting close,
closer to the prize at the end of the rope.
All night long I dream of the day,
when it comes around and it's taken away.
Leaves me with a feelin' that I feel the most.
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost.

Come down, don't you resist.
You've such a delicate wrist.
And if I give it a twist,
something to hold when I lose my breath.
Will I find something in that?
To give me just what I need,
another reason to bleed.
One by one hidden up my sleeve.
One by one hidden up my sleeve.

Hey, don't let it go to waste.
I love it, but I hate the taste.
Weight keeping me down.
Hey, don't let it go to waste.
I love it, but I hate the taste.
Weight keeping me down.

Will I find a believer?
Another one who believes?
Another one to decieve.
Over and over down on my knees.
If I get any closer,
and if you open up wide,
and if you let me inside,
on and on I got nothing to hide.
On and on I got nothing to hide.

Hey, don't let it go to waste.
I love it, but I hate the taste.
Weight keeping me down.
Hey, don't let it go to waste.
I love it, but I hate the taste.
Weight keeping me down.

All my life I've been searching for something,

Leaves me with a feelin' that I feel the most.
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost.

And I'm done, done, on to the next one,
done, done, on to the next one,
done, done, on to the next one,
done, done, on to the next one,
done, done, and I'm on to the next one,
done, done, and I'm on to the next one,
done, done, and I'm on to the next one,
done, I'm done, and I'm on to the next...

DONE, DONE, ON TO THE NEXT ONE,
DONE, I'M DONE, AND I'M ON TO THE NEXT ONE,
DONE, DONE, AND I'M ON TO THE NEXT ONE,
DONE, I'M DONE AND I'M ON TO THE NEXT!!!...

Hey, don't let it go to waste.
I love it, but I hate the taste.
Weight keeping me down.

cocaine, bitches.


i'm pretty sure dave said himself it was about sex. cocaine would also be suprising considering dave doesn't do any drugs. he has said in an interview he has only Tried pot, and didn't like it.
 
i dont know if anyone mentioned this, but A Baltimore Love Thing by 50 Cent is about smack. i hate 50 cent, and the song kinda sucks, but there are a few good lines in it

i got you bad footed on glass, chasin a dove
that monkey on your back symbolizes my love
 
i thought i read that dave grohl used to do drugs. i think i read in an interview where he said something about he used to do coke. i know he doesn't do drugs now, just drinks. i also remember in the article him saying something along the lines of "i've been clean for 10 (or 15) years." something like that. i could be wrong though..

now taylor hawkins on the other hand...
 
apparently Jefferson Airplane's White Rabit (1967) song is about drugs...i don't really see it though

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all.
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall.
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call.
Call Alice
When she was just small.
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low.
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know.
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:
"Feed your head. Feed your head. Feed your head"

^I think you're right the title kind of gives it away. Prison sex and hooker with a penis are two other songs about strange sex by tool.

Purple haze by Hendrix is pretty drugged out.

neither stinkifst, prison sex, or hooker with a penis are about sex. the thing with tool songs is the meaning is never obvious. if you think youve figured it out by reading it, then you should know your pretty much wrong.

stinkfist is about addiction and displayed with a metaphore of anal fisting. "ill keep digging, till i feel something."

prison sex is assumed to be about abuse maynard went through as a child, and then as an adult, wanting to take what he got as a child out on his own child. "ive come round full circle"

hooker with a penis is about how people claim tool sold out, but maynard saying that selling out is a loaded term basically, and that if people have complaints about him "selling out" then they are being hypocritical when going out and buying their new records "i sold my soul to make a record, and you bought one"

also

sober is not about having problems with him messing things up while high. Just look at this line: "why cant we NOT be sober" (obviously he isnt having a problem with being high if he is complaing about being sober). When looking at the rest of the song, it seems to be more about people being "intoxicated" with religion or some other form of mind control.

as for a song related to drugs...,

i dont know if its been mentioned, but marcys playground - sex and candy.

not quite sure, ive only heard the smashing pumpkins cover of the song but i know they performed it first. i think its a b-side of one of their singles.
 
This is almost too obvious, and I'm not sure if it qualifies to this thread, but;

Rammstein - Adios

Er legt die Nadel auf die Ader
und bittet die Musik herein
zwischen Hals und Unterarm
die Melodie fährt leise ins Gebein
Er hat die Augen zugemacht
in seinem Blut tobt eine Schlacht
ein Heer marschiert durch seinen Darm
die Eingeweide werden langsam warm

This song is about IV'ng(and to be precise, ODing on) something, probably heroin or speedballing. My german is bit hazy, but it's quite sure when two first lines go about "Out of the needle comes the serpent and puts the music on", and the rest of the lines speak of armies marching through his veins, battle fought in his blood, warm feelings in the bowels and closed eyes.
