Cage the Elephant – Shake Me Down Lyrics 1 year ago
@[AltIndie:50796] Picking one part of the song and saying that it could be about drug addiction but saying the next part of the song proves it's not about drug addiction is exactly the way people pick and choose what to believe based on biased thinking.
No love between the sheets is a reference to drug addiction. Any addict will tell you their drug of choice felt like the greatest love of all until the addiction became toxic. Sobriety is about breaking up with something that once nourished you but eventually lead to your destruction. Isolation, loneliness etc. It's a song about drug addiction. "Eyes cast down" is all about people closing their eyes to things they don't want to see like the pain that others especially people in active drug use are experiencing.
