| You people got most of the things wrong. This song is about waiting in a methadone line for his dose. Methadone is a drug given to addicts to help them with their addiction. | |

You people are all wrong. It's about letting the pressures of stardom leading him to an accidental over dose on herione. "keeps the fat man feeding in beverly hills " It's obvious he is talking about the people who are making money off of his music. "because i took my own insides out " Everything above this line was about working in the music industry "i've seen the movie and i know what happens" Name one serious drug movie that doesn't have someone over dose. "it's christmas time and the needles on the tree a skinny santa is bringing something to me his voice is overwhelming but his speech is slurred and i only understand every other word " Needles on a tree is obvious. The skinny santa is his drug dealer who is probably drunk. "but i don't care if i fuck up i'm going on a date with a rich white lady ain't life great? " He is saying he doesn't care if he over doses anymore. "this is the place where time reverses dead men talk to all the pretty nurses instruments shine on a silver tray don't let me get carried away don't let me get carried away don't let me be carried away" I think this isn't about dieing but it is about being in a hospitial after an over dose. He is fighting for his life. |
