The Drug In Me Is You

This song is awesome, it's already one of my favorites.

I'd say, based on the video, is that it's about when he realized he was going to be sent to jail due to his drug addiction. "I can't believe I'm actually meant to be here," makes me think that for some reason.

I don't know who the drug in him is, though. lol

I think the song is about ronnie's experience in prison. Not just based on the video, but also on an interview from las Vegas weekly that was given while Ronnie was in prison. He mentions in the interview that he faced death everywhere he turned in prison, and you really had to man up. This is explained in the first few lines. Especially the line, "everywhere I go I drag this coffin just in case." as for "snake eyes everytime you roll with crooked dice." is he couldnt get away with having to go to jail at all. The darkness he talks about may be prison, or it could be his past that haunts over him. He runs from his past as in the drugs and the fight. He talks about how he lost himself and his mind in the drugs and he's trying to get out of it. And he stated in the interview that he didn't deserve to be in jail, but he deserved to be there for karmic purposes for what he's done in his past. "i can't believe I'm actually meant to be here."

Best song on the album along with Pick Up The Phone

I love the vocal melody and the bass line, fucking awesome

Ronnie said in a recent interview that it's about him looking into a mirror and saying all of these things to himself.

Guuuuys. Ronnie specifically stated in an interview that this song was about his experience in prison, and his realization that he had become his own worst enemy with his drug use. A girl had nothing to do with the lyrics when he wrote them. You can interpret the song any way you like, I'm not saying you can't. But as far as what RONNIE meant when he wrote it, there wasn't any thing to do with a girl.

Ronnie is basically looking into a mirror and talking about another day in prison. It isn't exactly bright and sunny in there...

I think he starts off by talking about either getting arrested or getting out of his cell to eat food at the cafeteria.

The next line is walking down the prison halls. He goes through a session of anxiety and craziness because of the prison people and the things he did.

The drug he is referring to is himself because he caused his own demise. The person who tried to reach him is also himself, because if he didn't regret anything, he probably wouldn't be singing this song.

The "can't you see" line seems like he's telling you that its not being in jail that is the punishment for his actions but the fear and guilt he experiences.

Great song. The meaning I think is just about a guy, maybe Ronnie, who feels like he's just lost the good fight.

Though I think Ronnie intended for this song to be about his experience in prison, I have interpreted it in a different way. This song may be about a girl who he's in love with, but she's unknowingly hurting him (whether it's not answering calls, not seeing him often, etc.). She's like a drug to him- when he's with her, he feels amazing and great, but when he's not with her it's like their relationship is falling apart. This drives him to want to kill himself, because he doesn't want to leave her, but it hurts him too much to stay with her. He questions why he has to be making this decision. He's trying to run from his past with her and start again, but he loves her too much to go. In the end, the girl realizes that she's hurting him and tries to apologize, but it's already too late. He's lost his mind, and tries to kill himself.

I think this song is definitely about his experiences in prison. I think you guys are half right. The lines about the coffin and the dice make me feel like he had to man up in prison and expect trouble and he felt like he was facing death, but i also think, from the video and the lyrics that maybe there was a girl that helped him and was there for him and loved him, but couldn't help him. So he had to help himself and maybe change, he was running from his past and hopes it doesn't catch up with him. Maybe It's just about making a fresh start and putting it behind him.

this song basicaly means from what i get from it is that when he says the drug in me is you i think hes talking about a girl since theres a girl in the video and when he says 'im so high on misery' hes sad that his girl is not in his life
