Bob Dylan – Mr. Tambourine Man

Tämän laulun tamburiinimies on diileri. Tämän yhden kuuluisimmista huumebiiseistä levytti hyvin pian Bob Dylanin jälkeen myös The Byrds.

”Then take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow”

Buckcherry – Everything

Laulu taitaa kertoa kaverista, jonka tyttöystävä on addikti.

”Buried way beneath the sheets i think she’s having a melt down
Finding it hard to fall to sleep she won’t let anyone help her
The look on her face, A waste of time
She won’t let go, Gonna roll the dice
Losing her grace, Starts to cry
I feel her pain when i look in her.”

Bright Eyes – Landlocked Blues

Joidenkin mielestä tässä kerrotaan heroiiniaddiktiosta…

”And the world’s got me dizzy again
You think after twenty-two years I’d be used to the spin
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place
So I’m always pacing around or walking away

I keep drinking the ink from my pen
And I’m balancing history books up on my head
But it all boils down to one quotable phrase
”If you love something, give it away”

Brand Nubian – Slow Down

Hmm… ainakin eka säe kertoo kaverista, joka jättää tyttönsä, koska tämän huumeiden käyttö menee pahempaan suuntaan.

”The object of your affection is the tree-top connection
Or basically you love to smoke the wools
The crackheads attract man they come up to my door
I don’t smoke gems so what they knocking for”

David Bowie – Space Oddity

Yksi näkemys tästä biisistä on, että kaveri nappaa yliannostuksen. Liftoffin jälkeen ei ole tässä biisissä paluuta…

”Ground control to Major Tom
Ground control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God’s love be with you

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five
Four, three, two, one, liftoff”
