Sublime – Saw Red Lyrics 14 years ago
i think this song is about heroin addiction. i made an account just to comment this, lol.

Every day I love her a little bit more
A little bit more, a little bit more
And she loves me the same
------he's using a girl to describe heroin. he gets more and more addicted, but of course, heroin remains the same.

Baby if ya wanna get low
Baby if ya wanna get high
It makes no sense at all
------when you get high on heroin, people call it getting low.

I saw red
I saw red
I saw red
One more secret lover that I shot dead
-------i read something on here that said shooting up h and seeing red means you fucked it up, and thats what bradley's singing about. i've heard of some heroin turning brownish/red like blood when it's cooked down.


Every day I wake up, just a little bit more
feelin' like a dog in the yard
Because it's just how we are
And every day I wonder if it's over
When I wake up I realize that it not
And I break down the wall
--------a day not doing heroin "wake up just a little bit more" can make you sick "feeling like a dog in the yard cause thats just how we are"

You say it's black but I can't believe you
And if I say it's white say I'm just trying to decieve you
And baby, I'm aware of the high and the low
And I'll be waiting in the middle
But I just lack control
---------heroin can be white (china) black (tar)... he's aware of the highs it'll give him either way, bc he's a heroin addict and just 'lacks control'

Baby if ya wanna get low
Baby if ya wanna get high
It makes no sense at all
I saw red
I saw red
I saw red
One more secret lover that I shot dead

Girls don't go crazy
Girls don't go crazy
Oh girls don't crazy when the men use you oh
Women hold your men tight
-------"girls" dont go crazy when the men use "you" = heroin. hold your men tight....

If it makes you feel alright
It's your own life
-------- self explainatory
