I don't see why drugs have to mentioned as part of the meaning, just because the words "get high" are part of it. My interpritation of the song is that of someone looking for something or someone to help them get over a tragic event of their life. Such as the death of a loved one, end of a relationship or perhaps something very improtant to them being taken away. A more in depth analysis "blood sport" could refer to the feelings that the aformentioned tragic event has rid them of, for example they felt exhileratd while playing with their father. The line "now that I am clean" (now that the tragic event has passed the feelings of happieness, exitement and exhilleration are no more) But it's what we get out of a song that matters, it could just be one word in the right note that gives a song it's meaning, but this is just my interpritation of the song as I heard it at 3am. |
