Cover art for Coral Fang lyrics by Distillers, The

I've always taken this song to be about heroin addiction... the fang being the needle, sinking in to skin, making you ill, making you well (as in "getting well" after sicking out). I suppose it might be coral because in Australia they get pink rocks instead of black tar. "Making your eyes white" makes sense because your pupils become pinholes when it hits and you feel like you're closer to god, so maybe that's the "him". And ESPECIALLY the part about "disease is cheap, scars are polished clean", obviously you can catch shit from dirty points, and scars would be trackmarks, that eventually fade. How dope "fills the years with reprise, disgust, disguise", and how it "takes at will", draining away your soul and leaving you a shell of a person basically. That's really what I get from this song. I love this song too.
