Lightbulb Sun

I can easliy see how this song could be about opiate addiction. "A sickly pink liquid that puts me to sleep," could easily be a reference to Methadone, a reddish-pink liquid used to treat heroin addicts. I've actually been an opiate addict so maybe this is just me interpreting it how I want it to be, but the song describes my life as it was when I was taking that sickly pink liquid every day, another thing, Methadone causes STRONG sugar cravings "And I'll only take medicine, if it's followed by sweets..." Then he sings "My head beats a better way, tommorrow a better day," basically the ANTHEM of any drug addict.... tommorrow will be better, i'll be better. Then comes "And I can watch TV, While I'm wrapped up in bed, And mother makes sure that I'm watered and fed. My best friend from school will Come over and stare At me in my bubble Of germified air." I know that I spent most of my time on methadone in bed, I was only 16, my mother took care of me.... my friend's from school would come over and it was as if I was in my own little bubble, the way they stared at me it was like I wasn't even who I used to be. "When I'm asleep the smoke fills me, I feel the heat, My illness leaves me." This part especially is meaningful, the best part of opiates including methadone is this heat, or warmth that you feel wash over you and you feel like you're in heaven and your withdrawals (illness) just slip away as you sleep. Then the last part of the song is also meaningful to me, I would always lay in bed with the curtains closed, drifting through opiate bliss.... the sun looking like a lightbulb, just watching the clouds go by and just daydreaming. "But after a while, The noise from the street, Is making me wish I, Was back on my feet," this would obviously in my theory be the addict hearing the sounds of the world he has secluded himself from and starting to miss his old life, laying in bed sick from withdrawals and taking medicine every day to fix it begins to get old and you want to become your old self. Just what it means to me, it's probably not what it meant to Steve Wilson.
