Songs that AINT about drugs, that you think secretly ARE about drugs

Love the Way You Lie by Eminem featuring Rihanna

[Chorus - Rihanna]
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
that’s alright because I like the way it hurts
just gonna stand there and hear me cry
that’s alright because i love the way you lie
i love the way you lie

[Eminem - Verse 1]
I can’t tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
and right now it’s a steel knife in my windpipe
I can’t breathe but i still fight while i can fight
as long as the wrong feels right it’s like i’m in flight
high off of love drunk from my hate
it’s like i’m huffin’ paint and I love it the more I suffer, I suffocate
and right before i’m about to drown, she resuscitates me, she fuckin’ hates me
and i love it, wait, where you goin’?
i’m leavin’ you, no you ain’t come back
we’re runnin’ right back, here we go again
its so insane, cause when it’s goin’ good its goin’ great
I’m superman with the wind in his back, she’s Lois Lane
but when its bad its awful, I feel so ashamed I snap
whose that dude? I don’t even know his name
I laid hands on her
I never stoop so low again
I guess I don’t know my own strength

[chorus]

[Eminem - Verse 2]
you ever love somebody so much you can barely breathe
when your with em you meet and neither one of you even know what hit em
got that warm fuzzy feeling
yeah them chills used to get em
now you’re getting fuckin’ sick of lookin’ at em
you swore you’d never hit em, never do nothin’ to hurt em
now you’re in each other’s face spewin’ venom in your words when you spit em
you push pull each other’s hair
scratch, claw, hit em throw em down pin em
so lost in the moments when you’re in em
it’s the face that’s the culprit, controls you both
so they say it’s best to go your seperate ways
guess that they don’t know ya
cause today that was yesterday
yesterday is over, it’s a different day
sound like broken records playin’ over
but you promised her next time you’ll show restraint
you don’t get another chance
life is no nintendo game, but you lied again
now you get to watch her leave out the window
guess that’s why they call it window pane

[Chorus]

[Eminem - Verse 3]
now I know we said things, did things, that we didn’t mean
and we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
but your temper’s just as bad as mine is, you’re the same as me
when it comes to love you’re just as blinded
baby please come back, it wasn’t you, baby it was me
maybe our relationship isn’t as crazy as it seems
maybe that’s what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
all i know is i love you too much to walk away though
come inside, pick up the bags off the sidewalk
don’t you hear sincerity in my voice when i talk?
told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball
next time i’m pissed I’ll lay my fist at the drywall
next time there won’t be no next time
i apologize even though i know its lies
i’m tired of the games i just want her back
i know i’m a liar if she ever tries to fuckin’ leave again
i’ma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire
[chorus]
 
Decided to come back and edit this to include a little more info...

Such Great Heights - The Postal Service

'They will see us waving from such great heights
"come down now" they'll say,
But everything looks perfect from far away
"come down now" but we'll stay'
I used to relate to this so much whenever I was on pills, always thought that maybe that was their intentions.

Starry Eyed - Ellie Goulding

'Oh, everybody's starry-eyed'

Calvin Harris - Flashback

'This is like a flashback
This is like a dream
This is like all the things you can fit inside a memory'

Basically I was tripping balls when this song came on a couple of NYE's ago, 'omg it sooo is!'

Whenever I'm on drugs I tend to think all of the songs are about what I'm doing :p

My favorite song that probably isn't about drugs, but should be is....

Reunited and it feeels so goooood! Reunited like I knew we wooould! haha.
I mean.. Just look at the lyrics and TELL ME this aint about doing pills or dope??

I was a fool to ever leave your side (to ever run out? haha)
Me minus you is such a lonely ride (duh)
That break-up we had has made me lonesome and sad (get a bag!)
I realize now I love you cuz I... want you back.. hey HEY! (haha)

I spent the evening with the radio (and a runny nose)
Regret the moment that I let you go (running from the police?)
Our quarrel was such a way of learning so much (that withdrawal sucks??)
I know now that I love you cuz I... need your touch.. hey HEY!

Reunited and it feels so good (yee it do)
Reunited cuz we understood (that I like gettin fucked?)
There's one perfect fit, and sugar... This one is it (found her new favorite stamp? haha)
We both are so excited cuz we're... reunited, hey-heyyy (yupp!)
I sat here starin at the same old wall (yeah.. she's waiting on some D to come in)
Came back to life just when I got your call (don't we all?)
I wished I could climb right through the telephone line (...don't we all?)
And give you what you want so you would still be mine... heyy HEY! (dealer speaking now.. haha)

I can't go cheatin' honey, no I can't play (cuz crack jus aint the same?)
I found it very hard to stay away (.....) (...............)
As we reminisce on precious moments like this (glossy eyed and mouth stuck open?)
I'm glad we're back together cuz I... missed your kiss, hey-heyyy.. (kiss.. shot..?)

Repeat CHORUS

Oh
Lovin lover this is solid love
And you're exactly what I'm dreamin of (uh huh..)
All through the day, and all through the night (shes a B+ a day!)
I'll give you all the love I have with all my might, hey-hey (love = money? I think I rest my case...) ;)

I think the entire Depeche Mode album, Violator, is about heroin addiction.

The sweetest perfection is the "sweetest injection," I think Personal Jesus may be a song about relapsing (flesh and bone by the telephone / pick up the receiver I'll make you a believer) he's trying not to give in but eventually caves. Halo: "never again is what you swore the time before." Enjoy the silence: "everything I ever needed is here in my arms" and of course, Clean, I think is meant to be literal on a surface sense.
 
Godsmack - Voodoo


"I’m not the one who’s so far away
When I feel the snake bite enter my veins
Never did I wanna be here again
And I don’t remember why I came

Candles raise my desire
Why I’m so far away
No more meaning to my life
No more reason to stay

Freezing, feeling
Breath in, breath in…
I’m coming back again…

I’m not the one who’s so far away
When I feel the snake bite enter my veins
Never did I wanna be here again
And I don’t remember why I came

Hazing clouds rain on my head
Empty thoughts fill my ears
Find my shade by the moon light
Why my thoughts aren’t so clear

Demons dreaming
Breath in, breath in…
I’m coming back again…

I’m not the one who’s so far away
When I feel the snake bite enter my veins
Never did I wanna be here again
And I don’t remember why I came..."
 
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Slow Cheetah (this one is bit more obvious)

"Waking up dead, inside of my head
Would never, never do, there is no med
No medicine to take
I’ve had a chance to be insane
Asylum from the falling rain
I’ve had a chance to break

It’s so bad, it’s got to be good
Mysterious girl misunderstood
Dressed like a wedding cake
Any other day and I might play
A funeral march for Bonnie Bray
Why try and run away?

Slow cheetah come before my forest,
Look like it's on today
Slow cheetah come, it's so euphoric,
No matter what they say

I know a girl, she worked in a store
She knew not what her life was for
She barely knew her name
They tried to tell her she would never be
As happy as a girl in a magazine
She bought it with her pay

Slow cheetah come before my forest,
Look like it's on today
Slow cheetah come, it's so euphoric,
No matter what they say

Everyone has so much to say
They talk, talk, talk their lives away
Don’t even hesitate
Walking on down to the burial ground
It’s a very old dance with a merry old sound
Looks like its on today

Slow cheetah come before my forest,
Look like it's on today
Slow cheetah come, it's so euphoric,
No matter what they say

Slow cheetah come before my forest,
Look like it's on today
Slow cheetah come, it's so euphoric,
No matter what they say"

Bonnie Bray is place where Kiedis picked up his heroin & coke.
 
Eve 6 - 'Inside Out'​

I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
Swallow my doubt turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothin' - -Those previous 4 lines are like being strung out and feeling hopeless
Want to put my tender, heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you - -this line is about making the actual drug deal

I burn, burn like a wicker cabinet, chalk white and oh so frail
I see our time has gotten stale
The tick tock of the clock is painful
In all sane and logical, I want to tear it off the wall -These 4 previous lines relate to waiting on your dealer while sick
I hear words and clips and phrases
I think sick like ginger ale
My stomach turns and I exhale - These 3 lines are like when you finally get the dope and mix up a shot, alleviating the sickness, and the 'ginger ale' is like the color of the dope/water solution you mix up for a shot

I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothin'
Want to put my tender, heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you

SoCal is where my mind states
But it's not my state of mind - these 2 lines are like how he may be copping in SoCal but he doesn't really live or belong there
I'm not as ugly, sad as you
Or am I origami, folded up and just pretend
Demented as the motives in your head

I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothin'
Want to put my tender, heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you
(Rendezvous)

I alone am the one you don't know
You need take heed, feed your ego - feeling cocky from getting right after getting high
Make me blind when your eyes close
Sink when you get close, tie me to the bedpost - like nodding out, you sink into the bed and might as well be tied to it
I alone am the one you don't know
You need, you don't know you need me
Make me blind when your eyes close
Tie me to the bed post - this can also be when kicking you need to be tied down so you don't give in and go cop to get high

I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
Swallow my doubt turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothin'
Want to put my tender, heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through, now I'm through with you

Through with you

Rendezvous then I'm through with you


This song has everything, from dope sickness to the drug deal to getting high!!! At least in my mind. :sus:
This was all just off the top of my head so you may think of some other ways that this song relates to dope. If you do then feel free to let me know by posting about it here.

And to the poster above me as well as others, you should give specific examples like I did in my post.

oh fuck I need to listen to the radio next time I'm strung out, I'll find a million of these songs!
 
Blondie's "Tide is High" is most likely not related, but I have always found it to describe addiction.
With lyrics like these:

"The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one

I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no"


I don't know why, but it came on shuffle last week after I went off of crystal for a few days. I found that the more I listened to it, the more it seemed to give embody my desire to smoke more. Tina ensures that she becomes your number 1 priority, and she doesn't give up.

It probably sounds crazy, but it was what came to mind.

I was listening to Passenger by The Deftones featuring Maynard James Keenan last night, and I immediately began visualizing a heroin addict. To me, it seems as though the addict was describing the inanimate objects around him that witnessed him getting loaded, soaking up the high, procuring more dope, and essentially being in the backseat to his addiction but not caring due to the devout love affair with the drug.

"Here I lay
Still and breathless
Just like always
Still I want some more
Mirrors sideways
Who cares what's behind?
Just like always
Still your passenger

Chrome, buttons, buckles, and leather surfaces
These and other lucky witnesses
Now to calm me
This time won't you please
Drive faster

Roll the windows down
This cool night air is curious
Let the whole world look in
Who cares who sees anything?
I'm your passenger"

 
"Avalanche" by Leonard Cohen, covered by Nick Cave:

Well I stepped into an avalanche,
It covered up my soul;
When I am not this hunchback that you see,
I sleep beneath the golden hill.
You who wish to conquer pain,
You must learn, learn to serve me well.

You strike my side by accident
As you go down for your gold.
The cripple here that you clothe and feed
Is neither starved nor cold;
He does not ask for your company,
Not at the centre, the centre of the world.

When I am on a pedestal,
You did not raise me there.
Your laws do not compel me
To kneel grotesque and bare.
I myself am the pedestal
For this ugly hump at which you stare.

You who wish to conquer pain,
You must learn what makes me kind;
The crumbs of love that you offer me,
They're the crumbs I've left behind.
Your pain is no credential here,
It's just the shadow, shadow of my wound.

I have begun to long for you,
I who have no greed;
I have begun to ask for you,
I who have no need.
You say you've gone away from me,
But I can feel you when you breathe.

Do not dress in those rags for me,
I know you are not poor;
You don't love me quite so fiercely now
When you know that you are not sure,
It is your turn, beloved,
It is your flesh that I wear.
