Only the Names Lyrics
Wecome in my friend
out of the cold, where its warm
please step in my friend
whats your name
my names the same
what a strange coincidence
glad you've come to this place
whats the pleasure you chase
oh, you like playing with speed
well i have all that you need
I can take you
high and make you
invincible
i'll never leave you
welcome in my friend
try some of this
what you'll feel is amazing
tap a tiny blast
in a crease of foil
place this flame beneath it
white smoke you will inhale
a speed rush you will exhale the goose bumps prickle your skin
just enough to dig the hooks in
i can take you
high and make you
invincible
but now your hollow
You're crawling on the floor
but you'll be back for more
Hell there my friend
back for that sweet posion so soon again
but that lie must end
i must collect for those pleasures gave
when i first told you my name
i told you ours were the same
and thats not really a lie
my real name is your addiction
I will bring you
down and break you
burn right through you
wont regret you
out of the cold, where its warm
please step in my friend
whats your name
my names the same
what a strange coincidence
glad you've come to this place
whats the pleasure you chase
oh, you like playing with speed
well i have all that you need
high and make you
invincible
i'll never leave you
try some of this
what you'll feel is amazing
tap a tiny blast
in a crease of foil
place this flame beneath it
white smoke you will inhale
a speed rush you will exhale the goose bumps prickle your skin
just enough to dig the hooks in
high and make you
invincible
but now your hollow
but you'll be back for more
back for that sweet posion so soon again
but that lie must end
i must collect for those pleasures gave
when i first told you my name
i told you ours were the same
and thats not really a lie
my real name is your addiction
down and break you
burn right through you
wont regret you

This song is about meth. AS an occasional user and ex addict this song is as close to a true and honest explanation of the effects as you'll ever come across."a speed rush you will exhale the goose bumps prickle your skin, just enough to dig the hooks in" is saying how good it is at first. "back for that sweet posion so soon again, but that lie must end, i must collect for those pleasures gave" is saying that it was all a ruse, and the drug only ever wanted you addicted. If someone can tell me of any other songs which speak so true of the effec ts of meth I'd be glad to listen to them.
This one personifies the destructive nature of addiction and how it can manipulate and control individuals, welcoming you into their addiction, offering them a sense of belonging, and the promise of an escape from reality. The name "Only the Names" is a reference to the many names addiction takes.
ok to me this song is about getting addicted to smack and then your dealer turns around and slaps you with the costs of it. totally awesome song one of the best on the album
I agree that this song is about addiction. That much is obvious. I don't think it's the dealer but the effects of the drug that smacks the dealer in the face.
This song is about the cold and dark life of addiction, and how one can be so blind
It's about smoking meth and being blind to it all until it's too late to turn back cause you are addicted and left with nothing but the drugs..
