Helixx is correct in his analysis. This is song is about your drug dealer, just like Italian Leather Sofa is about a coke dealer. Lemme break it down for you. "Accepting callers for pendant key chains" -There are key chains meant for holding small objects, such as pills or other drugs. "To resist it is useless" -referring to drug addiction and trying not to call your dealer "You can meet at his location, but you better come with cash" -Duh "Now his hat is on backwards...."DUDE!"" -Ok, I don't know how many corporate exec's in the music industry that have tattoos, wear their hats backwards and call people dude, but I do know more than a few kids who do and/or sell drugs that are musically inclined, have tattoos, wear their hats backwards and call folks "dude". "Now today is tomorrow...weaving in and out" -When you're high on whatever your vice happens to be, time stops being significant and it becomes very hard to keep track of. Days melt into weeks, weeks melt into months, etc. "Fluffy white lines" -Huh, I wonder what that could be reffering to "He is handling the money..."DUDE!"" -another "duh" line, particularly with the "serving the food" line. "You can dress up like a sultan..." -people on drugs sometimes dress in a ridiculous fashion, as it's amusing to folks that're high (hard to explain if you haven't had the experience) Need I go on further? |
