songs about addiction/recovery

Testament - Return to Serenity
I always thought the lyrics were maybe talking about a return to a mental 'utopia' from addiction....

Nice tune...dont believe in any perfect utopia myself (cognitive idealism seems stupid, in any form imo although dreams are important its just living in them; seems like a hell-loop worse than life imho).

 
Here is another classic.



Have these meds on me, I'mma do 'em
I take these pills and I'm having a thrill
Taking prescription's a hell of a feeling
As for the xanny, I never forget it
Got these xans on me I'm a do 'em
Got these prescriptions that need to be filled
Popping these pills till I'm buried in fields
Percocets herron oxys and dills
Got a rig on me, Imma shoot it
Drugs in my veins have it no other way
Bitches keep asking if $licky okay
He a zombie
He the walking decay
Disgrace they say to my family name
Learned behaviour yet I'm to blame
Pills injested got me running late
I can't move an inch I can't feel my face
Got bitches that want me to put down the drugs
But I'd rather be loaded than falling in love
Rather be ducking than in your bitch fucking
Slumped with the drugs ain't got time for no cuffin
Pop a perc'
Yeah to stop the hurt
I gotta problem now
Gotta work it out
I gotta lotta' loud
Never heard a sound
But they heard the pow from the Glock I'm down
Dialing up 911
They don't know whether to pump my stomach or stitch the hole in the back of my head
EMT's said time of death write it down
Ruby get up like he walking to heaven
My body don't move but my soul shows this presence
Dig me a hole I don't need no remembrance
I made it back home yeah the place where the devil lives
Ruby so devilish look like my penance is finding a plug at the bottom of hell
I been looking for Pk's
Been looking for 3 days
I woke up in bed heard the priest say the devil lives

Lest my post was too stark - patience, genuine care for yourself and those who reciprocate it (at first anyway) and balance ( which is always in flux) but just to respect and be aware of it; when it happens - imo; thats utopic-ish, somehow and is a joy of recovery/living. <3

The Horse by A Wilhelm Scream

I am just waiting in a room
I only sleep but half the time
I am berating onlookers now
Silently greeting pleasant eyes

Hello

I am just waiting in a room
My mind will slip from time to time
I am relaying from the roof now
Messages bouncing from the wires

It's another day of fucking up a racehorse
Water mains will rinse off the mud
Burn away the mark of our maker now
While we're alive

I am just waiting in a room
My body lets the tale unwind
It tells how money turns the world around
This body welcomed its demise

It's another day of fucking up a racehorse
Water mains will rinse off the mud
Burn away the image, pull the blinders down
And with hope, a sound will mean the end

Our monikers
Are phrases uttered
He was, wakes the others
His family is dead

They followed a course towards hell
How we gonna save ourselves?
They followed a course towards hell
How we gonna save ourselves?

How we gonna save ourselves?

Lasix, Selenium
Thrush, rain rot, Premarin
Dragged by the nose
Trotted out for the motorists

Foal scours, paralysis
Puncture site abscesses
Sodium pentobarbitol
Euphoriants

Glutamine, Zithromax
Cialis, Celebrex
No one is safe
'Till my horse wins again
