Total Trash Lyrics

Cover art for Total Trash lyrics by Sonic Youth

I think this is song is about drugs in some way. The verse

It start at the top Now it's spiralling down Works best when it's lost Diggin' under the ground

is about shooting up with a syringe. The drugs work best when they spiral out of the syringe and get lost under the ground(read skin). Bassically, Thurston is just saying how drugs are total trash. Either way, this songs fucking rocks.
