Oh baby\nCan we first appreciate the metronome opener. I think sound has as much meaning to a song as lyrics do. The beat chants and one and two, and one and two, and one and two, even tho the signature is 4/4. There is an atmospheric background. And there are intro notes placed here and there as well as sound wave intervals that lead into the drum beat. The first lyrics suggest someone has fallen asleep in the singers arms and they are having a bad dream. The second line, “oh sugar,” is a metaphor for cocaine or speed. Baby is a drug. And baby could be a bad thing or more importantly she could be the muse for all his inspiration. If we write high, can we credit ourselves or the drugs? But the music runs through our blood like a fascination with a lover. And that obsession drives our loved ones away. And when one recognizes the toll drugs takes on oneself and others, all they want to do is wake up. So then we try rehab. We try to be sober. But she calls to us. Always that calling is in the back of an addicts mind. “Oh sugar, give in to me.” And his true love waits to se if he can beat his addiction demon as he battles detox. Bit it’s too late. His love is gone. And his love life stumbles on. But there’s always a side door. If he plays this game long enough and decides he cannot win, there is a way out. There’s always a side door. He’s threatening suicide. This song is the cry of an addict. An addict in love. And one and two. And me and you. Because of you. Because of me. I am clean. I’m on my knees. Is the bad dream the addiction or the reality of the cycle of addiction. It’s the rhythm. It’s the prayer. It’s the plea that hits with song.
