The Darkness – Givin’ Up

Varsin suorasukaisesti heroiinin käytöstä.

”My mamma wants to know
Where I’m spending all my dough
Honey, all she does is nag, nag, nag
But I won’t apologise
I’d inject into my eyes
If there was nowhere else to stick my skag

All I want is brown
And I’m going into town
Shooting up as soon as I’m back
My friends have got some good shit
All I want is some of it
Gimme, gimme, gimme that smack

Well I’ve ruined nearly all of my veins
Sticking that fucking shit into my arms”

A Perfect Circle – Noose

”And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you to the ground
But I’m more than just a little curious
How you’re planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead
To the dead ”

Ei mitenkään helposti tulkittava biisi, mutta tuntuu kertovan henkilöstä, joka on päässyt vieroituksesta ja kohtaa ihmiset, joita on aiemmin satuttanut jollain tapaa.

Alice Cooper – Novocaine

Novocaine on nukutus- ja puudutusaine. Alice Cooper vertaa tämän aineen aiheuttamaa tunteetonta olotilaa jonkun naisen aiheuttamaan vastaavaan.

”I remember every cut and scrape
I’m alone so long
Something’s wrong
So I’ll take anything
I slap my face, I pull my hair
Just to see if something’s there
It should hurt like hell
I miss the pinch, I miss the pain
That shock sensation in my brain
Cause when you touch me
When you hold me
When you kiss me
I don’t feel anything”
