Daytona White Lyrics

Cover art for Daytona White lyrics by Glassjaw

I haven't seen one person get it right.. He's talking about China White heroin. Daytona White = China White When you do heroin you nod out, meaning it's hard keep your eyes open. "When you're merely half awake.." Also when you inject heroin you must use a tourniquet to tie off. "Daytona White. You're leaving me untied." "In your closed hands, two closed eyes." Goes back to the nodding out.. Come on guys, it's not that hard to figure out if you know ANYTHING about heroin, or any type of opiates..

I don't know. This makes a lot of sense, and I want to believe that it is right, but I just feel like Daryl wouldn't be so straight forward, y'know?

Well he wasn't trying to be discreet when he wrote "All Good Junkies Go To Heaven." When you're writing songs sometimes you just have to come out and say it our you're not going to get your message across.

Some artists insist on it though and are weird about it. Daryl being one of those people. Personally I thought All Good Junkies Go To Heaven was a giant allusion towards religion.
