Korn – Helmet in the Bush

kirjoittaja

Biisin on sanottu kertovan Kornin laulajan amfetamiinin käytöstä.

”I keep asking what’s your lie? It is disturbing, this isn’t right. Days keep
passing. One notch at a time. I don’t feel right. Please God let me sleep tonight.
Every day confronted. Sucker freinds, it’s giving in. I just wanna know why?
{want to} give it. . . I can’t escape. (3 times)
I keep asking, can you please try. It is
haunting, this tin stone mine. Days keep passing. Line after line. I don’t feel right.
Please God don’t let me die tonight.”

Journey – Too Late

kirjoittaja

Kaveri jättää ison kaupungin huumekuviot taakseen ja lähtee pois muuttaakseen elämänsä.

”See the stop-light turn-in’ red,
Don’t you listen to what it’s said.
All the things you try to hide,
They keep you runnin’ hard inside.Oh, you got to leave this town before it’s…
too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
too late to make the change.”

Jay-Z – Blue Magic

kirjoittaja

Blue Magic on viittaus heroiiniin.

”P, I’ll repeat it to show you where the pot is
Cherry M3s with the top back
Red and green Gs all on my hat
North beach leathers,
Matching Gucci sweater,
Gucci sneaks on to keep my outfit together
Whatever, hundred for the diamond chain
Can’t you tell that I came from the dope game
Blame Reagan for making me into a monster
Blame Oliver north and Iran-Contra
I ran contraband that they sponsored
Before this rhyming stuff we was in concert”

Rick James – Mary Jane

kirjoittaja

Jälleen kerran viitataan Mary Janella marihuanaan…

”I’m in love with Mary Jane.
She’s my main thing.
She makes me feel alright.
She makes my heart sing.

And when I’m feeling low,
She comes as no surprise.
Turns me on with her love.
Takes me to paradise.”

Genesis – Tonight, Tonight, Tonight

kirjoittaja

Riippuvuudesta ja siitä irti pääsemisestä.

”I’m coming down, coming down like a monkey, but it’s alright
Like a load on your back that you can’t see, ooh but it’s alright
Try to shake it loose, cut it free, just let it go, get it away from me.”

Down – Learn from This Mistake

kirjoittaja

Biisin on arveltu käsittelevän heroiiniaddiktiota.

”Believe me, all my friends, in the ending of the story
There’s no junkie out there with a happy ending
It consumes you, and haunts you like the devil
It’s the art of the process that kills off all the rebels

Learn from this mistake
Learn from my mistake
Learn from our mistake
Learn from my mistake”

Mike Doughty – Looking at the World from the Bottom of a Well

kirjoittaja

Lyriikat voivat kuvata taistelua riippuvuutta vastaan.

”Oh all the days
That I have run
I sought to lose that cloud that’s blacking out the sun
My train will come
Some one day soon
And when it comes I’ll ride it bound from night to noon.

Aimless days,
Uncool ways
Of decathecting
Painless phase,
Blacked out thoughts
You be rejecting.”
