The title makes it obvious.. it’s about cocaine addiction.
I’ve heard this song 100s of time and always dug it. But never listened closely to the lyrics. Now that I have someone that potentially has a cocaine problem in my life does it make sense. It screamed out at me.. I was listening to this song as I was journaling about it.
This song could probably never have been on their first album, but in 1996 they’d had plenty of time in the rock and roll lifestyle. And watch people around them crumble to it.
“Too many starless nights going to leave you blind…” That’s beautiful. He could be referring to not having cocaine eyes and starless being stardustless. Or if you’re not taking in the beauty of the world that’s around you, you’ll always be looking for the next fix.
