So many references to drug use, namely heroin. rather than attempting to analyze the lyrics of this song for meaning, i thought i'd simply interpret some of the language that Hoon used in the song that most people will not understand, since it involves a drug culture that they are not themselves part of or familiar with. Thus, i have provided the following for others to help them decipher whatever meaning they might find:
"...soothing my itchy itchy month of May"
because opiates make you itch...alot
"...pigeon park"
probably where he scored dope
"way up in my arms you know i love you just a little bit more"
obviously talking about shooting dope, and either that he loves dope more or that he loves better when he's had dope
"raisin' nose down to chin smoke after smoke they all trickle in"
this may be the snobs who look down on junkies, only to eventually "trickle in" themselves; also, nose down to chin may refer to nodding out, in which a person's head will always be down
"anything for anything and ending up with nothing"
because the junkie will do anything for anything and always lose everything
"simple pimpled young man sores all over his hands, he's sleeping not so silently"
junkies who shoot up often get abcesses or pimples on their faces, hands, arms, all over really, and sleeping may be referring to nodding out
"i know that you could fly a mile high"
could refer to someone with a really high tolerance, who can get really high but needs alot more dope
and finally
"nothing is ever gonna come between my dumptruck and me"
i thought about this one and i'm not so sure about the language here, but i picture the "dumptruck" also a reference to heroin, because another name for heroin is "junk." junk goes in a dumptruck and nothing is gonna come between a junkie and his junk.
