Dude... Any Body Who Has Done Drugs Can Relate To This Song And Can See The Meaning Behind THe Lyrics
Here's My Interpretation:
The Way I See It The Hotel Is Either A Tweeker Pad Or A Drug Rehab, I'm More Inclined To Think Tweeker Pad Because, This Guy Is Driving Through The Desert...Alone...In The Middle Of The Night...Probably Looking To Score. He's Obviously On A Come Down, Can't Keep His Eyes Open. And He Notices One Place In The Middle Of Nowhere, In The Middle Of The Night, That Has The Lights On.
Now The Part That Has Me Confused Is That He Gets There And Can't Tell If It's Heaven Or Hell, He Hears A "Mission Bell" (Sounds Kinda Churchy)
Now She Lights Up A Candle And Shows Him The Way...Hmmm
On One Hand She Could Be Cooking Some Up In A Spoon Or A Bottle Cap And Showing Him How To Slam It Or Busting Out Some Foil And Showing Him How To Smoke It
Or She Could Be Lighting A Candle And Showing Him How To Pray, Like Asking Forgiveness And What Not. Show Him The Road To Recovery
Personally I Think She Cooked Up A 1/2 Gram Of That Shit And He Slammed The Fuck Out Of It
Now We Get To The Courtyard, And There's Some Chick That Probably Used To Be Rich And Has Thrown Her Life Away Doing Drugs But Wont Shut Up About It, Hence The Words "Tiffany Twisted"
Now She's Hanging With A Bunch Of Dudes That She Thinks Are Her Friends But Really Just Think She's Rich And Want Her To Buy More Shit, There Sayin "Tell Her To Buy More! Look That Bitch Has A Mercedes" Anywayz, Now Their Dancing...But Are They Really Dancing? Or Are They "DANCING" I Can Think Back To Many Times When I Was Getting High And I Loaded Up My Glass Pipe, Flicked My Lighter And Said "Let's Dance!" Just Before Taking a Blast.
Now He's Probably Thirsty (tweek will do that to you) So He Asks The Dude That Owns The Pad (or captain) If He Can Get Some Wine. And The Captain Is Like, Dude! We Don't Have Fuckin' Wine...but We Do Have Some "PINK CHAMPGNE" or "ICE" HELLO!!!!!!!
Now He's Like "Damn! These Fuckers Party Hard, There's Even Mirrors On The Ceiling!" and the chick tells him that they are all prisoners there of their own device
Now They Go To The Dining Room For A "Feast" and they're all sitting there and the dude that's hosting this party throws like a pound on the table and they all go to town on it with their knives (or Razor Blades) but this is some good shit, they can't fade a whole pound
So Now This Dude's Been Up For Like 6 Days He's All Burned Out And Friggin Paranoid, And Decides That He Needs To Go Home. So He Breaks For The Door But Is Stopped By Some Dude Who Tells Him To Chill, And Tells Him What He Already Knows. "You Can Go But You'll Be Back"
This Song Is Definately About Drugs, It May Be About Other Things Too But First And Foremost It's Drugs
