I personally think this is a great song. It hits home pretty good for me cuz I am a recovering heroin addict. Using drugs is truly a pursuit of happiness. Thats all your looking for, the best high which is the greatest happiness. When your not on the drug you lay away in your bed with cold and hot sweats all night living a nightmare of withdrawl symptoms till the next time you get high. I feel like this song really captures how an addicts life it. You dont really care about the trails of tomorrow while your high, you will be fine once you get it, and thats happiness. Heroin shines but it should not be gold, white or brown, it is gold to an addict. Thats my opinion dont jump all over my back cuz i say its about drugs. I just feel like it is.
Withdrawal symptoms have been hard for me too, my husband is a recovering opiate addict as well. Many of these kids are not realizing the heaviness that the pursuit of external happiness can cost one's life. But like MGMT said in Time to Pretend "everything must run its course" to really hate addiction, you must go through these stages of addiction and truly push yourself to sobriety. This is a long ass process with more pain from sober life than one could imagine....but our children will thank him one day for all of this struggle.
