Anyone who thinks this song is about anything other than Opium, has never had or been addicted to Opium. The words and melody conjure up the exact feeling that Opium gives. That warm, blue, lazy alright feeling. No matter what is going on in your life...if Opium is inside your brain, everything feels like a gentle blue heaven. Like floating in cool water...The line "I'm just gagging on all the alright" reminds me of one of the first times I had tea made from Opium poppy pods. It made me gag and throw up, but it wasn't like how you usually feel when something is making you sick. It wasn't that miserable, OMG I'm going to die feeling. No. I was bending over the toilet gagging, but I was smiling...relaxed....alright. Just gagging on all the all right.
It might sound like I'm glorifying Opium and it is glorious, for a while. Especially if you have the type of disposition that's always depressed or anxious...but make no mistake, for all the good it does, it takes payment out 10 fold. Any bit of joy, happiness, relaxation you get from this drug, will be met by depression, fear and pain when you withdraw and even before withdrawal comes tolerance....when you need more and more of the stuff to get only a fraction of the feeling you did when you first started...and eventually it doesnt make you feel good anymore, but you still need it to keep from getting sick.
That's Opium...Its like God's love and mercy combined with the Devil's revenge, all in one small plant.
Thank you for that. I agree with everything you said 100%. Moderation is key in all things. It's just really hard to be moderate with something that feels so good.
