alt-J – Something Good Lyrics 9 years ago
Being an addict in recovery this song has so much meaning for both life in active addiction and life for me now as I am in recovery. I was the matador, risking my life on a daily basis. Estocada translated means "thrust", according to my source. As an intravenous user, the needle was, when rattling, "thrust" into my body so as to "get high". But there is light at the end of the tunnel. Thank God. "Now that I am clean" (in recovery), "the matador" (me), "is no more" (no more living the chaos of risking my life)." Something Good", well, to me anyway, is - A Good Woman, free from addiction. "makes me forget about "you" (heroin) for now." Thank you Alt-J.
