| Mark Kozelek – Love At First Feel Lyrics

You obviously know nothing about Kozelek, because if you did you would know that this is off an album of AC/DC covers. How exactly can lyrics not written by Kozelek be "out of character"? Plus, the great thing about the "What's Next to the Moon" album is that Mark can take sleazy songs by AC/DC and bring out of them the very underrated lyricist that Bon Scott is. God, you're either a very subtle troll or a very fucking stupid person. |

| The Darkness – One Way Ticket Lyrics

That it's a ticket to hell isn't referring to the quality of the blow (although the fact that it burns means it can't be too flame, I agree), but about long-term use (hence the septum damage), how it'll fuck your shit up ("one-way ticket to hell"), but you have so much fun that it's worth it anyway ("and back"). |

| Tom Petty – Learning to Fly Lyrics
| 16 years ago

It's about getting high; the lyrics suggest smoking ("the world lit up"), but also coke. This is seen in his starting out "down a dirty road", the dirty road being hard drugs, as well as in "the rocks might melt and the seas may burn", the rocks being coke and the seas being the water that's being cooked up in a spoon to shoot.
Plus, since when is "coming down" the "hardest thing" with bud. Def about coke. SWIM puts this on every time he has a bad comedown. |

| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Snow (Hey Oh) Lyrics
| 16 years ago

I think it can be seen as referring to either drug, or more likely both, as Kiedis and Frusciante have both battled addition to both coke and smack. "Hey oh" can refer to heroin, but also rhymes with llello. Plus, while the titular "snow" usually refers to coke and "so white as snow" suggests cocaine, since it is whiter than (all but the best) heroin, "where all my tracks will me concealed" suggests heroin, which is shot up more frequently than blow is.
Similarly, "step from the road to sea to the sky" also talks about injection. The road is where Kiedis is initially, on the ground (normal). He then cooks up the coke/smack in a spoon to shoot up (the liquid being the "sea"), then when he bangs it, the rush is the "sky".
In any case, fucking amazing song. |
