Really? I am pretty sure he claimed this song was about how he didn't sleep after his first son was born.

The radio used to play brain stew and jaded as one song, back in the days when the radio played decent music.

Green day used to be one of my favorites back then. Dookie and Insomniac were great albums, kerplunk and smoothed out slappy hours were pretty good too. I agree that after insomniac (nimrod I believe was next) they started their decent into suckdom. Now they are unbearable :|

I always thought bad fish was about smoking weed ("won't somebody get me off of this reef" as in reefer) but your interpretation makes more sense as Bradley was major heroin addict.

dookie was THE first album i had ever bought where i could just press play and enjoy the ENTIRE FUCKING CD. god what great times.


i used to listen to "she" on repeat when the CD first came out....IT WAS NEVER ON THE RADIO. it was 2:14 of pure fucking awesome. a decade later they play it on the radio and claim it was a single when dookie came out. WTF WAS I? god i loved that whole CD it was the soundtrack to my puberty years.

she
she screams in silence
a sulley riot that is straing thru her mind
wait ting for a sign
to smash the silence with a brick of self control

are you locked up in a world thats been planned out for you
are you feeling like a social tool without a use
screm at me
until my ears bleed
im taking heed
just for you


<3


fucking song gets famous a decade after it stole my feelings from the thoughts of my first girlfriend :::waves fist in anger:::: fuck you green day and all the cock suckers that igrnoed that awesome fucking song.
 
No Doubt - New

NSFW:

Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I can't believe I've had this chance now
Don't let it go away

New, you're so new
You, you're new
And I never had this taste in the past
New, you're so new

My normal hesitation is gone
And I really gravitate to your will
Are you here to fetch me out?
'Cause I've never had this taste in my mouth

Oh you're not old
And you're not familiar
Recently discovered and I'm learning about you

New, you're so new
You, you're new

And you're consuming me violently
And your reverence shamelessly tempting me
Who sent this maniac?
'Cause I never had this taste in the past

Oh you're different, you're different from the former
Like a fresh battery, I'm energized by you

Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I can't believe I've had this chance now
Don't let it go away

Why am I so curious?
This territory is dangerous
I'll probably end up at the start
I'll be back in line with my broken heart
New, you're so new
You, you're new
And I never had this taste in the past

Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I can't believe I've had this chance now
Don't let it go away

And I can't believe it
Can't believe it
Can't believe it
Can't believe it
Don't let it go away, this feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away

Totally man, dookie was actually the first CD I ever bought. I had that thing on repeat in my discman for years. Music in the early to mid 90's was so much better than most of the shit played on the radio these days. Great times indeed. I grew up a few hours east of you in Nashville btw :)

Sit around and watch the tube, but nothing's on
Change the channels for an hour or two
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old shit
In a house with unlocked doors
And I'm fucking lazy
 
I always hated how Bob Marleys cause/image got ruined by the pot head bro's. He was way more about god and love, and maybe he smoked a bit from time to time
 
glycerine by bush I even looked up the meaning of glycerine in the dictionary its a sugary sweet substance its been awhille since i have heard it but everytime it comes on i think about drugs and i think he is talking about his girlfriend really but to me it is totally about using
 
^"dont let the days go by" thats the part i remember most reminding me of drugs. makes me sad cuz it makes me reflect on highschool - all the kids were out having fun while i was in my room getting stoned off this or that
 
I swear we already have this thread....huh...oh well...

Fly Like an Eagle - The Steve Miller Band
 
^ That's a good one. I love that song, never thought of it talking about drugs tho until you just mentioned it, haha.

Mary Jane Shoes- Fergie

When I wear my Mary Jane's shoes
I can escape from a blues
The whole world seems a little bit brighter, brighter
My heavy steps get a little bit lighter, lighter

....

When I wear my Mary Jane's shoes
Just like a child under bruise
My heart and my soul - they feel like I'm seven
But from my head to my toes
It's like I'm in heaven, heaven
...

When I wear Mary Jane's shoes
I enjoy to spin - the ones and toes
Music has another dimension
And I can dance with another perception

...

When I step into my shoes
Make the lady wanna
Really high, really low
Is caught up in the bubble

Everything is beautiful
Really motherfucking great
When I step into my shoes
Make the lady wanna go crazy

.....

Pretty self-explanatory I think :)
 
its in the way that you use it- eric clapton/ its in the way that you use it, it comes and it goes, its in the way that you use it, boy dont you know, and if you lie you will loose it, feelings will show, so dont you ever refuse it, dont let it go.
 
Here is another one...

Eisbrecher - Ohne Dich

Ich verbrenne für dich
Ich kann nicht atmen ohne dich
Du vergibst weil du liebst
Ich falle für dich
Kann nicht mehr aufstehn ohne dich
Du verstehst weil du lebst

Was ist die Sonne ohne dein Licht
Was ist ein Bild ohne dein Gesicht
Ich hab das Leben verflucht
Allein zu leben versucht
Doch es geht nicht

Ohne dich kann ich nicht frei sein
Ohne dich endlos high sein
Ohne dich bin ich allein
Ohne dich kann ich nicht fliegen
Ohne dich endlos lieben
Ohne dich kann ich nicht sein

Ich erwache für dich
Ich kann nichts spürn ohne dich
Du befreist du verzeihst
Ich ertrinke in dir
Spür deinen Pulsschlag tief in mir
Du verstehst weil du lebst

Ich bete zu Gott dass es nie endet
Dass dein Feuer mich ewig blendet
Ich vermiss dich zähle jede Sekunde
Ohne deine Gnade geh ich zugrunde
Click to expand...

I burn for you
I can't breath without you
You forgive because you love
I fall for you
I can no longer stand up without you
You understand because you love

What is the sun without your light
What is a picture without your face
I have cursed life
I have tried to live alone
But I can't

Without you I can't be free
Without you I can't be endlessly high
Without you I am alone
Without you I can't fly
Without you I can't endlessly love
Without you I cannot be

I awake for you
I can't feel anything without you
You liberate you forgive
I drown in you
I feel your heart beat deep in me
You understand because you love

I pray to God that this never ends
That your fire will dazzle me forever
I miss you, I count every second
Without your mercy I will go under

This song reminds me of when I used to wake up in a dark cold room so sick I could not stand up and yet could not sleep.. bodily fluids flowing profusely out of every orifice. Fucking disgusting. At that point I could only think of perpetuating my addiction until I was forced into abstinence. Every second without it misery unending.. I could not function.

Basically, in this verse replace "you" with "heroin."

Without heroin I can't be free
Without heroin I can't be endlessly high
Without heroin I am alone
Without heroin I can't fly
Without heroin I can't endlessly love
Without heroin I cannot be

That's my endless love affair with heroin. My best friend. Heroin personified. I don't want to live in a world without it.

If you want to give this melancholy tune a listen.

Err.. you are doing it wrong. I think OP meant for this thread to be about songs that have a personal meaning and evoke some kind of nostalgia relating to drug use. Your example pretty much references a drug by name.
 
Nirvana-Aneurysm

Come on over and do the twist
Overdo it and have a fit
Love you so much it makes me sick
Come on over and do the twist
Beat me outta me
Come on over and do the twist
Overdo it and have a fit
Love you so much it makes me sick
Come on over and shoot the shit
Beat me outta me
She keeps it pumpin' straight to my heart

I always thought this song was about heroin, but I'm pretty sure it was actually about a girlfriend or something. Kind of seems like it is though

Coming from Kurt Cobain, that's gotta be about heroin. Courtney Love played second fiddle to his love for the needle ;)

Not trying to hate on Courtney Love, but I've smoked blunts that weighed more than her.

i know this shits about drinking in LA and getting nothing accomplished , but a few times i questioned if it was about dope

Hi, my name is Stereo Mike.
Yeah, we got three tickets to the Bran Van concert
happening this Monday night at the Pacific Pallisades.
You can all dial in if you want to answer
a couple of questions, namely,
what is Todd's favourite cheese.
Jackie just called up and said it was a form of Roquefort.
We'll see about that...
Give us a ring-ding-ding! It's a beautiful day.
Yeah Todd, this is Liquid ring-a-ding-a-dinging,
want those three Bran Van tickets man. Waddya think?
Todd, you there?
I woke up again this morning with the sun in my eyes,
When Mike came over with a script surprise.
A Mafioso story with a twist,
A "Too Wong Foo, Julie Newmar" hitch,
Get your ass out of bed, he said:
I'll explain it on the way.
But we did nothing, absolutely nothing that day, and I say:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
I got the fever for the flavour, the payback will be later, still I need a fix.
And the girls on the bus kept on laughing at us,
As we rode on the ten down to Venice again.
Flaring out the G-Funk,
Sipping on a juice and gin,
Just me and a friend.
Feeling kinda groovy,
Working on a movie. (Yeah right!)
But we did nothing, absolutely but kiss that day, and I say:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
With my mind on my money and my money on my... Beer, beer!
I know that life is for the taking, so I better wise up, and take it quick.
Yeah, one more time at Trader Vic's.
Some men there wanted to hurt us,
And other men said we weren't worth the fuss.
We could see them all bitching by the bar,
About the fine line, between the rich and the poor.
Then Mike turned to me and said:
"What do you think we got done son?"
We've got a conclusion, and I guess that's something, so I ask you:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
I got the fever for the nectar, the payback will be later, still I need a fix.
We need to fix you up, call me Monday and maybe we'll fix it all up.
Hell-A-L.A., Hell hell-A-L.A.! ...
So I ask you:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
Hell-A-L.A., Hell hell-A-L.A.
 
I know I'm hella late but what about that song by 3 Days Grace? My friend says its bout speed, but I read somewhere its just about anything you love/hate @ the same time..


"Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet

Every roommate kept awake
By every sigh and scream we make
All the feelings that I get
But I still don't miss you yet

Only when I stop to think about it

(i Hate) Everything About You
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you

Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet

Only when I stop to think about it"

But... I could be wrong, lol, I usually am :)
