Every song of the album depicts different viewpoints of addiction. The name itself, "Thirteenth step" is a direct reference to the 12 step programs of AA and NA. "I didn't want to know I just didn't want to know Best to keep things in the shallow end Cause I never quite learned how to swim " ^-This song is about being in denial about a loved one's opiate abuse while they ruin their life over it. "Call an optimist, she's turning blue Such a lovely color for you Call it aftermath, she's turning blue While I just sit and stare at you " ^- When some one is dieing/"falling out" from a heroin overdose, they turn a blue-ish color and twitch. The person is just hoping for the best, that their loved one will just be okay without anyone intervening. Obviously this never happens because they just "sit and stare" at the addicted love one, letting the person just die from the opiate abuse. "Mistook their nods for an approval Just ignore the smoke and smile " ^- Referring to 'nodding out' while under the influence of heroin, smoke from the actual process of doing the drug. |
