Wheels of Confusion/The Straightener Lyrics

Cover art for Wheels of Confusion/The Straightener lyrics by Black Sabbath

I like the explanation that this song is just about growing up, but armed with knowledge that they were more than usually high on drugs while recording this album - it's probably inspired by drugs.

When you start consuming it, everything is perfect and vivid but after this initial happiness it's only downhill from there...

Black sabbath wasnt on drugs except for ozzy do you really think they could do what they did high on drugs? They were just really heavy duty dudes

The whole band were heavy drug addicts... It's not something they try to hide.They were all coked out for the production of this album, spending their newly made success money.
