    I think 'In Hiding' is most definitely about tripping and the enlightened feeling some are able to experience with it. After my own experiences, I can identify with many of the lines of that song, especially the part about things seeming so simple now. A lot that was always harder for me before just became so clear and easier to figure out

    i guess now i can see some drug reference..at certain parts.. but i just don't think that's what he means. i get such a different feel from it and it always seemed like this uplifting magesty of a tune, and i never got the drug reference. but hey, who knows? although ed never did acid. he said in an interview he only used to smoke pot on occasion and he has tried ecstacy a few times. thats it.


    its about a surfer who has a scary insident and is afraid to go back out in the water

    I'm pretty sure Afroman's "Then I Got High" is about drugs.

    hmm whered you hear that?

    wow i really do see the drug reference now..its kind of upsetting though since i've always viewed it as something so different .. about changes in your life and turning things around. oh well .. thats still what i get from it.

    You know, we're naming very middle class whiteboy sorts of songs, here. We're on the wrong sorts of drugs.

    Times of Trouble:

    When the spoon is hot
    And the needles sharp
    And you drift away
    I can hear you say
    That the world in black
    Is upon your back
    And your body shakes
    So you ditch away
    And you close the shades

    PBM

    Brilliant song.
    I caught a flash of flash of your smile through the fog of a dream, I'll have a hell of a time I clearly see, I can't be by your side, see you when I sleep.

    I thought the noose had references to the 12 step plan, the album is called 13th step, mjk is renowed for his sarcasm and i think the noose is his way of taking the piss out of ppl who go to rehab and then tell eveyone else wht to do...


    oh yeah

    Tom waits: there must be a few of his that are drug influenced...

    This song has been widely considered to be about LSD since the song's release, but until recently band members maintained that the title's initials were a coincidence. Paul McCartney now admits that the song is indeed about LSD.

    Glassjaw- Two Tabs of Mescaline
    Oasis- Cigarettes & Alcohol (alcohol, nicotine, cocaine)
