Beetlebum

Damon said it was about his at-the-time girlfriend Justine (from Elastica) and her growing heroin habit.

This song is about Damon's experiences smoking heroin with long-time Justine Frischmann (of Elastica) and having sex with her.

its the bum of a beetle init!

Heroin. Thats about it really.

Oh god, how I love this song. It makes me feel so good...kind of melancholic, but happy for sure. I've never felt like that before while listening to a song. It's genius.

Beetlebum is about Heroin. Users say that when they shoot up, its orgasmic, hence "she"ll make you come". Acid makes users feel very weird and can make them violent, rendering the line "All my violence is gone" useless.

This is a song completely about heroin use/abuse.. The beetle reference is the heroin powder that liquifies on a strip of tin foil, inhaled thru a tinfoil tube (toot) which is black and hard when at rest resembling a beetle.the bum ref is a lazy, do nothing person.. When he sings of she's a gun.. It's about the Russian roulette that it's both powerful and dangerous.. Get nothing done.. Is what eventually happens when u become a addict. She makes u come is the ref to heroin.. All male users ref to heroin in the female and when u become a addict heroin replaces your want or need for sex.. Makes u come is not literal, it's symbolic of the fact it had become his sex now.. Numb is a reference to emotionally numb which u become after long use..she'll suck your thumb is a ref to the calming ability of the drug. Nothing is wrong is a ref to the oblivion u feel in that nothing fazes you any longer and just rides by over ur head.i just slip away and Iam gone is a ref to the 'gouch' or 'nod' which accompany immediate use where user is placed in a hypnogocic state between sleep and wakefulness, alert in ur surroundings but asleep within urself.. If someone talks to u or u must move u can immediately get up or become vivid before once again slipping back into a serene state of relaxation.. To the outside observer the user appears asleep.

she'll make you come? or cum?

how can a shaven pussy be a beetlebum...i love this song, its their best!

but yeah, another word for 'chasing the dragon', is chasing the...yes - the beetle. when you heat up junk on tin foil, it melts, and you chase the beetle round with a tin foil straw, the lyrics really sum the rest up.

I just googled it and i've come up with this- im sure you all googled it too like. " The song is about heroin and the drug experiences that Damon Albarn had with his then girlfriend, Justine Frischmann of Elastica.[1] In the 2010 Blur documentary, No Distance Left to Run, Albarn confirms this song is about heroin use and implies that he was personally involved.[2] The song's title is a reference to the phrase "Chasing the beetle" (Chasing the dragon) which refers to inhaling the smoke from heated heroin, morphine, or opium that has been placed on a piece of tin-foil. Albarn has stated in an interview with MTV that the song describes a complicated emotion, sort of 'sleepy' and sort of 'sexy'."
