Welcome to my nightmare – näillä sanoilla Steve Earle esittelee kappaleen, joka kertoo hänen heroiini riippuvuudestaan, josta pääsi irti 1990-luvun alussa.
Vuosi: 1996
The Rasmus – Myself
Paetaan todellisuuttaa huumeisiin…
Eyehategod – Methamphetamine
Kertoo methamfetamiinista…
Dr. Dre – Blunt Time
Biisin nimi kertonee tässä tapauksessa aikastalailla kaiken…
”Blunt time-pull out your philly
Sip a glass of ’gnac,reload your nine milli
Dancin,puffin,sippin or set trippin
Dimes keep on flippin flippin”
Three 6 Mafia – Where’s Da Bud
Marihuanaa tässä kappaleessa etsitään…
Moonspell – Opium
Moonspell kuvaa loistavasti opiumoloja…
”Opium, desire or will?
Inspiration bound from an elegant seed
Subversion, through smoke I foresee
Erotic motions of lesser gods in ectasy
Opium, bring me forth another dream
Spawn worlds of flesh and red,
Little jewels of atrocity
Opium, I sleep in debauchery
And burn with you
When you burn in me”
Underworld – Born Slippy
”Drive boy, dog boy
Dirty numb angel boy
In the doorway boy
She was a lipstick boy
She was a beautiful boy
And tears boy
And all in your innerspace boy”
Tori Amos – Father Lucifer
Biisi kertoo siitä, kun Tori Amos nautti Etelä-Amerikassa shamaanin luona hallusinogeenejä ja tapasi paholaisen: ”I was taking drugs with a South American shaman and I really did visit the Devil and I had a journey.”
Metallica – The House Jack Build
Biisin on arveltu kertovan Metallican laulajan James Hetfieldin suhteesta alkoholiin ja Jackin olevan mahdollisesti viittaus Jack Daniels-viskiin.
K’s Choice – Not an Addict
”Breathe it in and breathe it out
And pass it on, it’s almost out
We’re so creative, so much more
We’re high above but on the floor
It’s not a habit, it’s cool, I feel alive
If you don’t have it you’re on the other side
The deeper you stick it in your vein
The deeper the thoughts, there’s no more pain
I’m in heaven, I’m a god
I’m everywhere, I feel so hot
It’s not a habit, it’s cool, I feel alive
If you don’t have it you’re on the other side
I’m not an addict (maybe that’s a lie)
It’s over now, I’m cold, alone
I’m just a person on my own
Nothing means a thing to me
(Nothing means a thing to me)
It’s not a habit, it’s cool, I feel alive
If you don’t have it you’re on the other side
I’m not an addict (maybe that’s a lie)
Free me, leave me
Watch me as I’m going down
Free me, see me
Look at me, I’m falling and I’m falling.
It is not a habit, it is cool I feel alive I feel…
It is not a habit, it is cool I feel alive
It’s not a habit, it’s cool, I feel alive
If you don’t have it you’re on the other side
I’m not an addict (maybe that’s a lie)
I’m not an addict…”
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.
