Artificial Red Lyrics

Cover art for Artificial Red lyrics by Mad Season

Good call, I wasn't aware of the methadone connection or the matching lyrics with Angry Chair.

I think it is implied that he craves "someone to hold against my own" but he is looking in the wrong places, "the house of ill repute." This, paired with his addictions, make the song a confession of his feelings at the time.

His answer is in the last lyric- "My need is within me, a gift from above."
