Cover art for Sky Diver lyrics by Eyedea & Abilities

this song, as i noticed a lot more of eyedeas songs then people think, has a lot of heroin references in it. in my humble opnion this song is about a girl he likes who he used to do dope with, or maybe she just did dope and he didn't. i think this because of the lyrics. "One last time I'm really hurting Just a little taste to take off the edge" a reference to withdrawl. and especially "Crust and clots at the corners of her mouth Eyes white like yours, But completely different somehow I caught her post dose looking like a ghost Cheeks rosed from the flush of fluid So familiar to us now" its VERY VERY obvious to me, being a former heroin user that this is a reference to someone being high on heroin. you can just tell by someones eyes easy as pie if they're high or not, they're not red like pot, just pin hole pupils and they have a distinct look when they're like that, you can spot it from a mile away, and from the view of someone who doesnt use heroin or opiates you might not notice why they look different, but you know they're totally different.. and OBVIOUSLY, I caught her POST DOSE!!! how much more obvious could it be than "POST DOSE LOOKING LIKE A GHOST"?? then he ads cheeks rosed from the flush of fluid (shooting up) so farmiliar to us now as if he and her shoot up together a lot now. GOD he is genius. and i think as leviathans beach in the grip of their patience is a reference somehow to trying to get off of dope, like he said in the beginning of the song "cuddling our new found freedom of keeping our eyes open without being awake" (obviously being on dope) and "ONE LAST TIME I'M REALLY HURTING, JUST ONE TASTE TO TAKE OFF THE EDGE" this is certainly a reference to being dope-sick, and if you have ever been or know a heroin addict, its always "oh just one last time, im so sick, just once more and that will be the last time i swear", i get that from these lyrics a lot, that is the struggle of wanting to stop, and telling your self you will, but not being able to. even when you dont want to do it anymore, sometimes you do it just not to be sick, you have the leviathan in your grip (acknowlaging what a monster or leviathan heroin is), you dont want the drug to get high anymore you have no desire to use it, but you have to in order to not be dope sick, so when you go use again, even though you dont nessacarily want to, you're driving the ship into the pavement, and crashing down again.... thats just my take on the song though, maybe its about two ignorant lovers who dont use drugs, just they're love to be blind..... either way it was a beautiful mind that wrote this.
