Handshake Drugs Lyrics

This song is not about taking drugs to be someone else. The singer of the band, Jeff Tweedy had to go on medication because of a condition he has. This song, and most of the album, is about him taking this medication. My favorite line of the song "and if I ever was myself, I wasn't that night" just goes to say how he wasn't himself on that medication.

I know its great. It's like when you say man I wasn't myself last night and then you say wait, when am I ever myself?
