Elliott Smith – Coming Up Roses Lyrics 17 years ago
This song makes me think about sickle cell anemia (the moon is a sickle cell/It'll kill you), and refers to red and white blood.. the sickle cell moon doing division.. It's clever. I don't know where to go with that though. It's like sadness is an illness?

Elliott Smith – Coming Up Roses Lyrics 17 years ago
We all know he did heroin.. 90% of this site's Elliott Smith commentary is people saying "He had a drug problem so this is a metaphor/imagery for heroin" etc
Does anyone having any other knowledge about his life that would shed light on who he really was?
He did have a problem, but he wrote pretty good music too.
