Nine Inch Nails – Reptile Lyrics 12 years ago
This song is without a doubt about heroin.

She spreads herself wide open to let the insects in
Heroin is made from Opium Poppies seeds. To make seeds, they have to be germinated by insects first.

She leaves a trail of honey to show me where she's been
When you cook heroin down in a spoon, it looks like honey. It dyes your veins when you shoot it up, leaving a trail or track marks.

She has the blood of reptile just underneath her skin.
Honestly have no idea what this means.

Seeds from a thousand others who drip down from within.
Opium is made up from thousands of poppy seeds.

Oh my beautiful liar
Oh my precious whore
The idea of doing the drug is always more fun than actually doing it. It is precious to the user, but everyone wants it.

My disease my infection
I am so impure
The addiction changes you. It doesn't go away.

Devil's speak of the ways in which she'll manifest
Everyone talks about what a shitty human being you will become if you get stuck on heroin

Angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress
My guess is that he's hurt someone he cares about to get the drug. Most junkies do.

Need to contaminate to alleviate this loneliness
I now know the depths I reach are limitless
The need to have it is very real. At this point he realizes that he's gone through some ridiculous things to obtain it, and absolutely needs it to avoid getting sick.
