One Hundred Days

The man suffers from a heroin addiction, I'm pretty sure It's about the waiting for another dose. Of course, interpetation is key, so yours is as good as mine.

nice song, just cant really tell whats it about. The first part let me think he is alone and is waiting everyday for his woman to come in. But she doesnt come allthough he is sure she will. Meanwhile, he is living his live as he is asleep and always dreaming

correct me if im wrong pls

It's about heroin addiction and withdrawals.

I always thought this was about Death. 'Ships coming in' meaning someone dies every day. 'Taking something with you that is bright' meaning wanting to take happiness into your slumber.

I can see how it is heroin addiction too though.

This song is morphine. There is a link between dreams and morphine as Morpheus was the god of dreams in mythology but that's trivia. This song probably is about a drug adiction, that's the "business farther down".

get the feeling it's a song about drug addiction...maybe he's just waiting around, sleeping, dreaming, thinking about the day when he'll fall off the wagon again and get his fix. he doesn't seem to be worried about addiction and is instead preoccupied with how amazing the drug is. or maybe he's waiting for a woman? "Like one long season of rain, I will remain Thinking of you" one of my favorite lines. I once dated a guy who told me this song reminded him of me :] it was our first "date" and it was the first time I had ever heard mark lanegan. needless to say, I was deeply moved.

It's about degeneration and hope, kinda reflective of how Lanegan sees his life. Well about the addiction people fall around the hopefulness of their own life.Twilight falls and we go again... It's better to be a willow that bends towards the end of the day and accept that you have to do this, drink, cut cocaine, prostitutes, things that makes you feel sick about yourself, than fight it and break. The antisocial blackbird just doesn't fit around the rest of the society, it's funny but he feels he fits in more around these parts. but one day there will be salvation from this horrible island he has been marooned in. He does not know when or how, but there is hope. there's no real reason to believe that things will change. But, it's his dream, in a way it's his sedative, how he numbs the pain, it's not a crime apparently, to hope. And finally when that day comes, maybe he can take some positive thing out of all this misery. Something right, something bright. But his life is fading away and withers, and as he wishes, like the cigarette that withers in to ashes. the only companionship is the working girl on the street.it's just business, and he has other business, all of this is transient. But it's the only real companionship he has; and he will stay here, it seems, longer than he or society think he will remain. Then Lanegan speaks to you. Are you so different from me? you also wait for this ship.
