Chasing the Dragon Lyrics

I love this song and I love the fact that it doesn't have a breakdown. They are so much better than that. This song is probably about a heroin addiction. And I'm almost positive that the title is a reference to a south park episode where everyone is addicted to Guitar Hero. They release a game called Heroin Hero where all you do is chase a dragon while you inject yourself with heroin.

Actually "chasing the dragon" is an expression for smoking opium (a substance that comes from the poppy plant and is what heroin is made of), so there is definitely a connection between the song title and the subject of heroin use.
