Cover art for Drowning In A Daydream lyrics by Corrosion Of Conformity

To me this song is about how people change through drug use. For whatever reason, the arrow represents a life path that has been changed. At first you get high because you want to but not because you need it, and you wonder if this is really what you want out of life. As time goes on though, you get high because you're addicted and you wonder if this is really what you want out of life. After awhile your entire life seems to be a haze of drug blurred memories, and before you know it you're old and have done nothing that you would've wanted to do before drugs came along.
This is my interpretation anyway.
