This is definitely not about Kelley's drug addiction. At the time Pod was made, Kelley was a programmer and analyst for the Department of Defense, and had yet to pick up a guitar. It would be a couple years later, when Tanya Donnelly exited the Breeders and Kim needed a second guitar player. That's also when Kelley started experimenting with drugs, and went downhill fast.

That said, the song is definitely about a woman escaping her surroundings by getting high. I would not be surprised if it's about Kim herself. Heavy drug use was prevalent in the Breeders...
That said, the song is definitely about a woman escaping her surroundings by getting high. I would not be surprised if it's about Kim herself. Heavy drug use was prevalent in the Breeders during the Pod era, with Kim, Tanya and Britt over-indulging. And many of the songs on Pod are about drugs, and specifically heroin ("Glorious", "Oh!", "Lime House").
Maybe Kelley Deal's drug addiction, or someone close to them.
