TDS The song that best describes the horror's of opiate addiction to you?

nirvana - aneurysm

Come on over and do the twist
Over-do it and have a fit
Love you so much it makes me sick
Come on over and do the twist

Beat me outta me - Beat it! beat it! [x7]
Beat me outta me

Come on over and do the twist
Over-do it and have a fit
Love you so much it makes me sick
Come on over and shoot the shit

Beat me outta me - Beat it! beat it! [x7]
Beat me outta me

She keeps it pumpin' straight to my heart [x8]
 
nick cave and the bad seeds - into my arms

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candles burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
 
Wow thanks guys, I really appreciate all the responses because music is such a important vent of emotions for me, and I know many others. I used to listen to nutshell, junkhead, angry chair when i was alot younger by Alice in Chains. It's alot sadder and more valued to me know that I understand the horrors these songs describe of the internal confliction and disease of addiction. Souls to squeeze as well as under the bridge by RHCP are up there on my list as well, thanks for the memory spark! I wish the best to everyone's struggles as for sure none of us are alone in the battle
 
Shit. I just went in search of a song to add to this thread and wound up coming upon a song that reminds me about all the things I love about opiates instead. Not what I should be hearing right now... ehhh

Some cool suggestions here though..

happiness is a warm gun - the beatles <3

she's not a girl who misses much
do do do do do do do do, oh yeah
she's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
like a lizard on a window pane
the man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors
on his hobnail boots
lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
working overtime
a soap impression of his wife which he ate
and donated to the national trust

down
i need a fix cos i'm going down
down to the bits that i left uptown
i need a fix cos i'm going down

mother superior jump the gun
mother superior jump the gun
mother superior jump the gun
mother superior jump the gun
mother superior jump the gun
mother superior jump the gun

happiness is a warm gun (happiness bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
happiness is a warm gun, mama (happiness bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
when i hold you in my arms (oo-oo oh yeah)
and i feel my finger on your trigger (oo-oo oh yeah)
i know no one can do me no harm (oo-oo oh yeah)
because happiness is a warm gun, mama (happiness bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
happiness is a warm gun, yes it is (happiness bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
happiness is a warm, yes it is, gun (happiness bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
well, don't you know happiness is a warm gun, mama? (happiness is a warm gun, yeah)

Awesome thread! A little hard for me to listen to some of these songs right now though :). Kind of depressing :(.

Otherside-macklemore(RHCP parody)
Click to expand...

It's not a RHCP parody, a parody is "an imitative work created to mock, comment on or trivialise the original work". It's just that Macklemore's original version of "Otherside" sampled a part of the instrumentals from the song "Otherside" by the RHCP and he took the title from that song. The newer version does not sample it however.

Any Savoy Brown album did it for me in Nam after a little sniff. Powerful stuff my buds always had to remind me to breath once in awhile. Sad eh? Die in the jungle or in your hooch trying to chill and forget. Ah the Golden Triangle of hell...

Blessings
 
Gosh, Alice in Chains.... almost everything on the albums 'Dirt' and 'Jar of Flies'. I used to listen to that stuff well before I ever
'discovered' opiates. Loved it then. Love it now. 77 days clean of opiates now but I am drinking kind of heavy to shut down anxiety.
Next step ... start exercising and cut down the drinking to weekends. Peace.

neil young - the needle and the damage done
Click to expand...

First thing I thought of Laugh, not because it's the most obvious choice, but because it's just one of the best. The last verse, and the last two lines especially. Neil Young's a living legend anyways but this is one of his best from the Harvest period. Period. :)

Whether this is about heroin, self-harm, or suicide seems to be disputed, but I read it as a song about H. It's a Trent Reznor song I know, but for me Johnny Cash made this his own. Saddest thing ever. Sends shivers down my spine, goosebumps, hairs standing up on end every time I hear it, it never gets old.



Johnny Cash ~ Hurt

I hurt myself today,
To see if I still feel,
I focus on the pain,
The only thing that's real,

The needle tears a hole,
The old familiar sting,
Try to kill it all away,
But I remember everything,

[Chorus]
What have I become,
My sweetest friend,
Everyone I know,
Goes away in the end,

And you could have it all,
My empire of dirt,
I will let you down,
I will make you hurt,

I wear this crown of thorns,
Upon my liars chair,
Full of broken thoughts,
I cannot repair,

Beneath the stains of time,
The feelings disappear,
You are someone else,
I am still right here,

[Chorus]

And you could have it all,
My empire of dirt,
I will let you down,
I will make you hurt,

If I could start again,
A million miles away,
I will keep myself,
I would find a way

Kid Rock - Only God Knows Why

(This one's for my dad. I love you, and I'm sorry. Rest in peace...)

I've been sittin' here, tryin' to find myself.
I get behind myself.
I need to rewind myself.
Lookin' for the payback, listen for the playback,
They say that every man bleeds just like me.
And I feel like number one, yet I'm last in line,
I watch my youngest son, and it helps to pass the time.
I take too many pills, that helps to ease the pain,
I made a couple dollar bills, still I feel the same.
Everybody knows my name, they say it way out loud,
A lotta folks fuck with me, it's hard to hang out in crowds.
I guess that's the price you pay, to be some big shot like I am,
Outstretched hands and one night stands, still I can't find love.
And when your walls come tumblin' down,
I will always be around...
...
And when your walls come tumblin' down,
I will always be around...
People don't know bout the things I say or do,
They don't understand, about the shit that I've been through.
It's been so long, since I've been home,
I've been gone,
I've been gone for way too long.
Maybe I've forgot all the things I miss,
Oh, somehow I know there's more to life than this...
I said it too many times, and I still stand firm:
You get what you put in ... and people get what they deserve.
Still I ain't seen mine, no I ain't seen mine,
I been givin' and just ain't been gettin',
I been walkin' that there line.
So I think I'll keep on walkin', with my head held high,
I keep movin' on,
And only God knows why...
