Dope Sick Girl Lyrics
I'm not sure if this was inspired by someone Tim really knew or not, but this song is about a girl that he was in love with but it turned out she was only using him for money. Very sad, but it has one of the greatest intros in the history of punk rock. Rancid used it again when they covered NOFX's "Vanilla Sex" on the split.
I think this isn't really about a girl who was only using him, exactly. Rather I think it's about how the need for drugs can be so strong that it can even cause people you know and trust to turn against you.
It doesn't sound like he blames the girl, it sounds like he pities her and still likes her (she takes his heart everywhere she goes) even though she took his money, because he knows she was so desperate and being controlled by the "demon" of her drug addiction, and that she had "no freedom."
I find this song very sad... Way too many people become drug zombies like that.
I always thought it said "I was high, too high to know" but now I hear it.
And the intro is: This song is about a girl, who ripped me off She was dope sick
this song is a girl who pretended to love him. she just wanted something to gain
no, i agree with orangefriend. he still loves her, although her addiction caused her to turn against him and take his money. it's not so much a song against the girl, but more a song against drugs and addiction.
ain't this song the truth...anybody who's ever dated a girl who was a heroin addict will understand....like myself.
