The song is a string of references about various drugs. I don't know everything, but here are what some of the slang translates to: skin-up = Weed The sniffing references = Cocaine/Meth amphetamine = Meth kissing = metaphor for coke and heroin usage used in a lot of UK music including Seal's Kiss from a Rose and New Order's The Perfect Kiss. All consuming self inducing = Powerful drug usage Straight up my nose = cocaine Skeletina = Seems like a weird reference to cocaine = a female skeleton referencing the earlier slang, and also bone is also slang for cocaine. Also, right after the straight up my nose line. Pick up a lady = Pick up cocaine or crack. Tin foil in waiting = smoking crack/coke |

@[pijuyo:33783] The song is about drug use. skin-up = rolling weed (maybe crack in early 90s slang?) The sniffing references = cocaine and meth amphetamine probably a reference to meth. kissing = metaphor used in British music for cocaine and heroin usage (Seal's Kiss from a rose, New Order's The Perfect Kiss). All consuming self inducing = Powerful drug usage Straight up my nose = cocaine or meth Pick up a lady = Pick up cocaine or crack. Tin foil in waiting = smoking crack/coke is done off foil. Skeletina = Seems like a weird reference to cocaine = a female skeleton referencing the earlier slang, and also bone is also slang for cocaine. He adds " Going over the song, if it's about one drug in particular, I'd say cocaine. |
