Heroiinia, heroiinia…
Vuosi: 1994
Covenant – Speed
Kappaleen henkilö on pahasti koukussa amfetamiiniin..
Nine Inch Nails – Hurt
Myös Johnny Cash on tehnyt oivallisen coverin tästä kipeästä kappaleesta. Laulun kertoja ei vaan saa elämästään otetta, vaan satuttaa aina itseään.
”I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that’s real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything”
Bone Thugs-n-Harmony – Why Do I Stay High
Pilven polttoa jengissä…
Beck – Truckdrivin Neighbors Downstairs
Hassuja naapureita kaverilla…
”acid casualty with a reposessed car
vietnam vet playin’ air guitar
it’s just the shit-kickin’, speed-takin’
truck-drivin’ neighbours downstairs
yeah…yeah
whiskey-stained buck-toothed backwoods creep
grizzly bear motherfucker never goes to sleep”
Pink Floyd – Confortably Numb
Biisin on sanottu kuvaavan heroiinin käyttöä…
”There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I’ve got that feeling once again
I can’t explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb”
Oasis – Cigarettes & Alcohol
”You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top . . .
You gotta make it happen!”
Röökistä ja alkoholista tässä enimmäkseen lauleskellaan, mutta kyllähän tuossa valkoisen viivatkin vilahtavat.
Stone Temple Pilots – Pretty Penny
”Have you seen your mother girl?
has she gone away?
gone away and found the pearl
but the price she paid”
Ehdotettu kertovan äidistä, joka kuolee yliannostukseen.
Korn – Helmet in the Bush
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.”
The Allman Brothers Band – All Night Train
”Last night sorta got so insane,
as I went ridin’ on the all night train.
Took it down the street and around the block,
took it downtown baby where the big boys rock.
Roll on, roll on,
take me where I can ease my pain.”
Alice in Chains – No Excuses
Sanottu kertovan huumeriippuvuudesta.
Sublime – Greatest Hits
”Is this band making money?
I don’t know
It’s the writing on the wall
All my friends drink alcahol
I’m too drunk to light the bong
I’m too stoned to write this song
Light my cigarette, and I think
Bert Senzanka made me drink”
