Definitely. Also, the following:Neil Young - The Needle and the Damage Done.
The line "every junkie's like a setting sun..."
Ryan Adams "Strawberry Wine":
Don't spend too much time on the other side
Let the daylight in
Before you get old and you can't break out of it
My old friend
'Cause its getting winter, and if you want any flowers
You gotta get your seeds in to the ground
And I worry about you
Why? Because you want me to.

That's the chorus, I feel tremendous guilt every time I hear that song because I've been spending way too much time on "the other side" and haven't been letting the daylight in. I think I've grown too comfortable being in the darkness. The light hurts my eyes, but what hurts the most is how I let myself stay stuck in a rut with my demons.
This song is worth listening to. It's all about breaking out of your bad habits before it's too late. Ryan Adams has a lot of incredible songs, mostly written while high on drugs: heroin, coke, the works. He cleaned himself up and got his shit together though.
