Cover art for Needles lyrics by System of a Down

In my view, drugs are shown as tapeworms in this song - when Serj sings "My tapeworm tells me what to do", hes singing about how drugs control lives.

"And you, a parasite, Just find another host" This is againg comparing drugs to tapeworms and the way that drugs 'infect' people (if u see what i mean).

@thev I can see where this insight makes sense... but have you considered this to apply to addictions overall?
