Cover art for A Distorted Reality Is Now a Necessity to Be Free lyrics by Elliott Smith

well the first verse is obviously about drug use...

im floating on a black balloon- heroin when sold in small amounts (to users not sellers) ussually is filld in a lil water balloon

I just feel like this song is about the struggle with drug use, and the struggle to understand society and the amount of apathy society installs on people...its cool because I can always put my own story to elliots music, he painted pictures with his songs and the pictures always change

we will never have another elliott smith
