Bush – Comedown Lyrics 13 years ago
Definitely seems like heroin addiction to me. People have touched on most lines but I'll just add a couple more. When he says 'sleep the day, let it fade" means he is trying to sleep while he is coming down, so he doesn't have to be awake to feel the pain. The last verse basically talks about his fear of this never ending. He continues to use heroin to not feel the comedown or withdraw but at the same time is thinking about his future and is worried he's going to continue to be a "creature" of habit.

Bush – Glycerine Lyrics 13 years ago
I believe that this song is about a relationship with a girl and it being ruined because of his addiction to heroin.
"Must be your skin, that i'm sinking in" means he is driving his lover nuts (getting under her skin)...he didn't take it serious and didn't change his ways.
"Must be for real cause now I can feel" means she ended the relationship.
"And I didn't mind It's not my kind Not my time to wonder why" He acted like he didn't care and had no intentions on changing his ways.

During the rest of the song, he talks about his feeling of both getting high and his relationship. He wants to pick her, but realizes he's in too deep with his addiction.

Just my take, It's difficult lyrics to interpret. I could see why someone would think it's about either heroin or a relationship and not both, but I think it's about a relationship gone bad because of his addiction and his unwillingness to quit getting high.
