This was a song about how Brad's life sometimes isn't all roses, even though he is a successful musician. I guess he was living in his Tweaker Pad, and getting yelled at by his dad. He was feeling depressed every day, saying he's happy when he's not...and, of course, finding roaches in his pot, and sticking needles in his arm. He was a junkie, but he was ashamed about it when he realized he couldn't quit. I lost a coworker and friend to drug addiction a few months ago, and although I didn't know how much he was using, it was heroin and pain pills that killed him...but I never knew for sure he was on drugs, just suspected it. He reminded me a lot of Brad, and we had a great time at work...I just wish he would have gotten help before it was too late. I wish Brad would have kicked his addiction for good, but old habits die hard...
