I think without a doubt the song is about Crystal Meth. Obviously, most people would assume that the song is really about an ex girlfriend and in some ways they are right. Her name is Crystal and "she indeed took his soul to the darkside of the moon". There are numerous references to the drug, foremost being his sense of feeling like he is Superman. In addition," Kryptonite", which crystal meth ultimately becomes to the long term addict. In addition, when he states "still your secrets I would keep" is the necessity of the addict to keep this addiction under the radar as a result of the bad publicity it has and peoples perception of you can be tarnished (People will have no qualms admitting to smoking weed, but crystal....forget about it?. The addiction is so powerful, that even though the addict knows that the drug will ultimately lead to insanity, he still wills the desire to hold on to the addiction because it is so intense and inescapable. The final phrase that most users of this drug would be familiar with, which probably go unnoticed would be "You stumbled in and bumped your head, if Not for me then you would be dead I picked you up and put you back On solid ground". Meth smokers know that as an addict, it messes with your nervous system and addicts often break their pipes, and many often use this as an excuse to quit" but rarely does this feat actually take place". Yeah, I know a lot about crystal from experience and when I heard this song again after so long it stood out to me. |
