Cover art for Caution lyrics by Chameleons, The

It's their most explicit lyrics about heroin, "Brown sugar, ice in our veins No pressure, no pain". A cautionary tale.

I think parts are about how their hometown doesn't feel like home anymore ("This is not my home") because so many have died ("Everybody's checking out the dead and cold").

It ends in desperation ("Nothing on earth could help me, no").

A cautionary tale and hard hitting. They're still my favourite band of all time, their music I always return to more than any other artist year after year, although this song isn't high up the list for me.

@CuminGuises I don't see the song in this way
