What a powerful, deep, symbolic song. I can honestly say The Classic Crime's new album is absolutely flawless.
God and Drugs is about how people try to substitute their addictions for the need of God ("look elsewhere"). These false gods aren't necessarily drugs (a metaphor the title suggests) but can include money and material possessions that people idolize and crave instead of God. And they get the same comfort and relation with their addictions than they did through God, which eventually leaves them in a rut. But come to the realization that God is the ONLY thing that will truly always be there and never go away.
Sure, the Classic Crime do not label themselves Christian Band because of their problems with the CCM industry. But they surely do deal with God and Christian themes in their music through some of their songs, as well as keep it general enough so that anyone, even people outside the Christian faith, can relate to their songs and messages. What an amazing band.
