I kind of got the impression this one was about heroin addiction perhaps. I thought that the devil is somehow personified into the craving, and a few verses in there "Give him more" and "How much longer." Sounds like someone trapped in a room going through withdraw trying to wait out the immense craving and pain that follows. |

| Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Opium Tea Lyrics

I think anyone who has been addicted to an opiate of any kind such as heroin, can really feel the sympathetic and mellow tone of this song. The lyrics are well written, but I think the melody is more important. The lyrics show someone who is living somewhat a miserable life, acknowledge this, but are content with their drug addiction and continue to life their life accordingly despite all that is wrong. |
