    (obvious) Afroman - Because I Got High

    Surely some Mother Love Bone or Temple of the Dog songs had to be about drugs or addiction?

    After seeing the video for Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun, I'm convinced that song is about a bad acid trip....

    We might safely say that The Stars That Play With Laughing Sam's Dice by Jimi Hendrix is about drugs. STP was Owsley acid, better known today as DOM:

    Temple of the Dog songs

    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

    Drug Buddy - Lemonheads

    Shes coming over,
    Well go out walking,
    Make a call on the way.

    Shes in the phone booth now,
    Im looking in.
    There comes a smile on her face.

    Theres still some of the same stuff we got yesterday.
    Theres still some of the same stuff we got yesterday,
    Yeah.

    Im too much with myself,
    I wanna be someone else.
    Im too much with myself,
    I wanna be someone else.
    Im too much with myself,
    I wanna be someone else.

    So we take off out fionas door,
    Walk until its light outside,
    Like before when we were on the phone.

    We have to laugh to look at each other.
    We have to laugh cause were not alone.

    As the cars fly up king st.
    Its enough to startle us,
    Its enough to startle us

    I love my drug buddy.
    My drug, my drug buddy.
    I love my drug buddy.
    My drug, my drug buddy.
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

    I thought Shine on was about Syd Barrett. Although I suppose it's also about his decent because of drugs.

    Anyway, Golden Brown by the Stranglers is apparently about Heroin. Although the lyrics are so fucked up no-one has ever really deciphered the exact meaning.

    I believe that on at least one occasion, Ed said this song was about an acid trip. Anyone know what show/shows?

    I shut and locked the front door
    No way in or out
    I turned and walked the hallway
    And pulled the curtains down
    I knelt and emptied the mouth of every club around
    But nothing's sound, nothing's sound

    I'd stay but my last tab left me
    Ignored all my rounds
    Soon I was seeing visions and cracks along the walls
    They were upside down

    I swallow my words to keep from lying
    I swallow my face just to keep from biting, I, I..
    I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, diving
    I surfaced when all of my pen wasn't writing

    I'm in hiding
    I'm in hiding
    I'm in hiding
    I'm in hiding

    It's been about three days now
    Since I've been aground
    No longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now
    It's funny when things change so much
    It's all state of mind

    I swallowed my words to keep from lying
    I swallowed my face just to keep from biting I, I...
    I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, I was diving
    I surfaced and all around me was enlightened
    Now I'm in hiding
    I'm in hiding
    I'm in hiding
    I'm in hiding

    I'm in hiding
    I'm in hiding
    I'm in hiding
    I'm in hiding

    ED is an trip

    but i think acids more about hedonism. if your on acid and in hiding u took too much or are having a bad trip.

    i think hiding is more about reflection. feeling bummed out about things. but maby it is about a trip. who knows???
    its ok

    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.
