Red Hot Moon Lyrics

So I think I can help with the red hot moon question
KC Died of a meth overdose The “moon” would be representing the bulb of an oil burner pipe and that when meth is smoked it leaves a white residue on the inside making the glass Buick look like a moon To smoke it you need to heat the glass making it “red hot”

Glass bulb not buick

@Leeferd first off all, meth overdose is pretty rare, heart attack after long term use but it depends on the person. Meth addicts usually live long unfulfilled lives. Also meth burns at a pretty low temperature, pipes don't get red hot after they are red hot from being made. I think you are making metaphor out of lyrics with literal meaning.

The thing you said about a full pipe looking like the moon is interesting though, it does kind of look like the moon.
