The Needle Lies Lyrics

Lyric discussion by optimisticemo 

Cover art for The Needle Lies lyrics by Queensrÿche

it basically saying the horrors of drug addiction.how even though the high might feel right and make a certain saddness or boredom go away it's still a lie. even though the thought of getting high is on your brain and it cries out to you, it's still a thought of fake happiness. this song is about how drugs can be the only way of coping with something to certain people, and how quitting the drug is even harder than coping with life itself. the lyrics in this song hit me so hard sometimes. it reminds me of my dad. though he may have only been addicted to weed. the drug hit my family so hard. so he went into rehab out of my family's cries and pleads. and five months later he comes home slightly damaged from all of the stress and depression our cracked portrait held. so this song really speaks to me. we can all still see the scars of sadness in each others eyes now. i really wish sometimes that we could all just disappear from life that drugs destroy. at least the person who wrote this does, and i can assure you that they are pleading with this song, and using it as a closed mouth warning to everyone who has ever though of using dagerous drugs like herion.
