Real Thing Lyrics

Cover art for Real Thing lyrics by KMFDM

I agree drug addiction but I assumed heroin... the way she emphasises the word BLEACH (ya clean works with bleach) and the descriptives "sharp, straight, knife" imply injection. It seems like she's escaping depression/boredom/unhappiness through drug use, which heroin is notorious for since it works on endorphins and all (cocaine is more about thrill seeking). "fresh start like a newborn child" and all that talk of shame and doubt etc...
