Cover art for Hourglass lyrics by At the Drive-In

this song is about heroin. when you do heroin, your breathing rate slows down incredibly making it feel like your "oxygen's all gone" because you breathe like twice a minute. "so far up here" = high. when you dose, you nod off into your own little world.

cedric and omar used to do lots of crack and heroin.

for fucks sake thank you
