SonicBebs · 01.29.2010, 04:26 AM

i used to write it off as a bit shit, but now i really like it.

greedrex · 01.29.2010, 05:05 AM

Hey Genteel, I'd like to help you out but things are rather tough...

SONIC GAIL · 01.29.2010, 09:16 AM

I have always loved this song over and above other songs. I've been a junkie . I know exactly what he means. I hate myself but I love everybody else. I can't ESCAPE myself. When it comes down to it I got no one else to blame. We can't handle reality sometimes. It is burning, so much pain everywhere...temporarily $100 makes it go away...then you need more.....caught in this wicked web before you know it. Trapped in your mind thinking...thinking the fucking non stop thinking. Just SHUT UP brain. We love others and see ourselves as waste because of bad mistake we can't escape ourselves....Everyday we promise no more..and fight to say no..but it overcomes you more than some one on the outside can comprehend. They just see some junkie wasting away.

I made an escape route..and I'm going to keep following it until I get to where I was ...back to a clean mind. A free mind.

Winner's Blues is a good one on this topic too. Per my sig.

Genteel Death · 01.29.2010, 09:24 AM

How long were you junkie for?

SONIC GAIL · 01.29.2010, 09:32 AM

Let me think...you really don't know when you start to become one, you just wake up and realize one day "What the fuck am I doing to myself?"
So maybe 12 years or so. I can barely remember most of my 20's.
I would not touch heroin or crack because i thought those were junkie drugs. I never sold shit for drugs or anything, but if I did'nt have my potion I thought I could not live I started wanting to die because I could'nt access them all of the time and when I did'nt have them all I thought about was the next fix. And it was so painful just to live. I just want to be "normal" now. I envy my little sister. She does'nt even smoke or drink and she is just happy to be alive. My personality type is different I guess.

Genteel Death · 01.29.2010, 09:37 AM

Wow, 12 years! Well done on getting yourself clean.

Rob Instigator · 01.29.2010, 09:54 AM

Love this fucking song, and it does ring true.

SONIC GAIL · 01.29.2010, 09:58 AM

Thanks! I have come a long way.

My man came along with me on this adventure. We are helping each other climb back out of our pit we dug. I don't think it's something I could have done alone. He understands me and does not judge me and I do the same for him.

akprodr · 01.29.2010, 10:14 AM

Do I remember correctly it was about Kurt?

greedrex · 01.29.2010, 10:18 AM

^^ officially denied by Thurston.

chicka · 01.29.2010, 10:55 AM

it's about a lot more people than Kurt. Kurt's just one more point on the overdose graph. If I tried to name the number of musicians, doctors, homeless, firemen, nurses, dock works, security guards, that died from this decease, I'd be here for a year or better typing names.

cagedbird · 01.29.2010, 11:35 AM

security guards?

chicka · 01.29.2010, 03:13 PM

yup. Make a great SNL skit. Security Guards in rehab whinning about their lack of respect from the public turned them into junkies. The kids that got away, the bosses that wouldn't prosecute, their guns or lack there of.

cagedbird · 01.30.2010, 06:53 AM

right.

dazedcola · 01.30.2010, 04:28 PM

With the economy today I think $100 is now more than enough again to score. This song has become dated, forever stuck in the 90s. It will never know the pleasure of downloading obscure music on line for free.

Alan ciccone · 01.30.2010, 09:28 PM

probably a bit about Kurt even though it was denied. same way self obsessed and sexee wasn't about Courtney
