| Iggy Pop – Tonight Lyrics | 4 years ago |
|
This beautiful song is about a heroin-addicted guy, who comes home, only to see his girlfriend downed on the ground. In a glimp of a second, he knows that his girlfriend has succumbed to her death by a drug overdose. Perhaps both have tried to get clean of it and she has become weak and overdosed herself after getting some grip on it, while he was away. (It is not uncommon for drug addicts to kill themselves after some time of being clean, because they shoot themselves the same dose, they were using BEFORE getting clean and killing themselves because their body can't handle that much drugs after getting clean for a while...) He sees her, lying on the ground, already getting blue and he knows, that she has already been gone. He could have cried (and mourned) for her, but instead, he takes her dead body, not caring for her (already passed out) state, and comforting her "everything will gonna be already, tonight", only to comfort his helpless self, who feels himself as helpless as a child, just as she would still be alive, but unconsciouss. The only being who still have bound him to this world, has passed? No! That can't be true! "Everything will be alright, tonight, [honey]" He shakes her in his arms. He shakes her in her arm, "to the end". "I'm gonna love her to the end, I'm gonna lover her to the end, I will love her till die, I will see her on the other side, tonight!" He will see her, tonight, on the other side. PS: This is not written to glorify anything about it! My both parents died to heroin (or its consequential damages). I saw them dying to it. There is nothing glamorous to it. Please excuse my bad language, because english is not my native tongue, and I am not very good at making myself understood, most of the times. |

@[n1xter:36219] Thanks for your post. I was already thinking that it simply must have been something about heroin, considering he was mentioning "dancing in the moonlight". I hope he was enjoying his ride, as long as it lasted. My both parents died to the follow-ups of heroin-addiction. I really want to believe it was worth it, at least, in some of those days... |
