The Cranberries – Salvation

”To all the people doing lines
Don’t do it, don’t do it
Inject your soul with liberty
It’s free, it’s free
To all the kids with heroin eyes
Don’t do it, don’t do it
Because it’s not, not what it seems
Oh no, it’s not, not what it seems”

Biisissä tunnutaan kannustavan olemaan käyttämättä aineita.

Lily Allen – Everyone’s At It

”So you’ve got a prescription,
And that makes it legal.
I find the excuses,
Overwhelmingly feeble.

You go to the doctor,
You need pills to sleep in.
Well if you can convince him,
Then I guess that’s not cheating.

So your daughter’s depressed,
We’ll get her straight on the prozac.
But little do you know,
She already takes crack.”

Biisi vaikuttaa kertovan yleisesti medikalisaatiosta, kuinka ihmiset ikäryhmään katsomatta käyttävät erilaisia lääkkeitä.

U2 – Running to Stand Still

”Sweet the sin
Bitter, the taste in my mouth
I see seven towers
But I only see one way out
You got to cry without weeping
Talk without speaking
Scream without raising your voice
You know I took the poison from the poison stream
Then I floated out of here”

Tuntuu kertovan riippuvuudesta.
