Paranoid Opioid Lyrics
Life shuts you down, life shuts you down
Suffocate inside when overkill surrounds
Pain kills the time, pain kills the time
Depression bends the rules and now you're losing your mind!
Close your eyes, another sunrise over and over!
Burn by the spoon and now you're dying too soon!
Paranoid opioid
Paranoid opioid
Got you living in hell, got you living in hell
Delusional truth got you under a spell
Death is on your back, death is on your back
And you can't survive when nihilism attacks
Close your eyes another sunrise over and over
Burn by the spoon and now you're dying too soon
Paranoid opioid
Paranoid opioid
Sun breaks through useless shade
Fall in love with a endless haze
Hard to find peace of mind
Burn by the spoon now you're dying too soon
Have you seen my mother
If the blood that your pumping is heartless
And you can't seem to make up your mind
And your soul is now shrouded in darkness
Just like your dying for the very first time
Just remember what reality taught you
And it wasn't always just for the thrill
You bow down to the one that lost you
And now the devil's going in for the kill
(You're in the arms of god)
Now you're six feet down now, now you're six feet down
Suicidal black and unholy ground
Guess we'll never learn, guess we'll never learn
Too slow to live too fast to burn
Close your eyes another sunrise
Burn by the spoon now you're dying too soon!
Paranoid opioid
Paranoid opioid
Paranoid opioid
Paranoid opioid
Suffocate inside when overkill surrounds
Depression bends the rules and now you're losing your mind!
Burn by the spoon and now you're dying too soon!
Paranoid opioid
Delusional truth got you under a spell
And you can't survive when nihilism attacks
Paranoid opioid
Fall in love with a endless haze
Hard to find peace of mind
Have you seen my mother
And you can't seem to make up your mind
And your soul is now shrouded in darkness
Just like your dying for the very first time
And it wasn't always just for the thrill
You bow down to the one that lost you
And now the devil's going in for the kill
Suicidal black and unholy ground
Too slow to live too fast to burn

This song seems to have a lot to do with pain and suffering
My guess would be that this song is about a heroin experience that went bad and induced paranoia. The part of the song that makes me think it's about heroin is when they say, 'Burn by the spoon and now you're dying too soon.' Black tar heroin is shot up by heating up the heroin in a spoon. He probably burnt himself on the spoon which drove him into a state of panic and paranoia that he was going to dye. That's basically it.
Actually this song is about doing coke not heroin. A Spoon is slang for coke spoon, besides heroin doesn't give you feelings of paranoia like cocaine does. Burnt by the spoon is meant to be taken figuratively not literally. Also the lyric "Sun breaks through useless shade" to me means being up all night till sunrise doing cocaine. In the song it ends up driving him crazy hence paranoid and then eventually dead from heart failure. This song also is a great companion piece to Black Sabbath's Snow Blind also about cocaine.
