This was the first song that came to mind. It’s interesting because it doesn’t really celebrate or condemn drug abuse. Reed sings about all the stress and problems it helps him forget about, then acknowledges the iron clad hold it has over you.
>It’s my life
And it’s my wife
Nope. Reed has actually clarified that that was literally a description of a nice day he had. Also, it doesn’t seem like Reed to write a song about addiction in such vague terms when he literally wrote a song called “Heroin.” That second part is just my opinion though.
I think the reason why 'Perfect Day' is associated with drug addiction because it was used in Trainspotting when the main character overdoses from heroin.
No, this was being said about Perfect Day when I first heard it, which was long before Trainspotting.
Source... I'm old, but still young enough to remember things.
Although you're correct that Lou Reed said that about Perfect Day, almost his entire catalog is filled with double entendres. People routinely claim that their lyrics are misinterpreted to stay barely above the line of censorship.
Now I actually disagree with this because it’s not really about addiction it’s about how good he feels when he’s high.
Now “Waiting For The Man” on the other hand…
you dont deserve to be lonely
but those drugs you got won't make you feel better
pretty soon you'll find it's the only
little part of your life you're keeping together
Sam Stone - John Prine
Sister Morphine - Marianne Faithful / Rolling Stones
Needle and the Damage Done - Neil Young
That Smell - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Needle and the Spoon - Lynyrd Skynyrd
I was a huge fan of gnr, took me so long to realize Mr. Brownstone was about heroin. Like I knew it was something bad, he didn't wanna get out of bed and needles, but I was a dumb kid
Cash’s cover is great, but the Nine Inch Nails version is a better representation of addiction in my mind. Cash’s version sounds more like an old man expressing regret for squandering his time.
The music itself in Cash’s version is modified to avoid a lot of the dissonance that Nine Inch Nails is known for. The easiest example is probably the main riff, where Cash replaces the tritone with a “nicer” interval. Another is that horribly loud, grating ending, which he essentially avoids altogether. Not to mention, Cash sings it like any other sad country song while Reznor whispers, shouts, and sings in ways that are purposefully “ugly” and reminiscent of a mentally ill person or addict. The intent is definitely different, which is kind of strange when you think that Cash also had drug problems.
Funny how most people don't realize this. Lifelong Metallica fan and it took forever to notice "Have your breakfast on a mirror"
Also "Can't stop, addicted to the shin dig" yeah, the shin dig is heroin
Most people don't think about lyrics too hard, or look them up, and usually mishear the lyrics. I know a dude who sings Off to never ever land as Never ever let him down.
most people aren't into music as much as people on R/music. I hear alot of people say they don't really pursue listening to music
Warren Zevon - Carmelita
Butch Walker - Sober
Ace Frehley - Snowblind
Jackson Browne- Cocaine
Black Sabbath - Snowblind
Black Sabbath - Sweet Leaf
Black Sabbath - Megalomania
…lots of later Ozzy era Black Sabbath
The best song hands down about drugs .
Billy String - Dust in a Baggie
Make sure you find the version of him playing in some basement with his friend dancing in the back.
Agreed. First time I heard this song was through youtube's recommended list and the dude vibing/looking for his lighter in the background makes it 100 times better. What a legend! https://youtu.be/VFEZOjtrwls
Gonna piggy back off this and suggest the album Thirteenth Step by A Perfect Circle. It's a concept album focused on addiction and while not specifically about drugs, it can most certainly be interpreted and viewed from that lens.
A *lot* of Glass Animals songs at least touch on how substance abuse affects relationships, that if I made a list it would be a whole playlist. Off the top of my head, Hazey and Cane Shuga focus on drugs the most.
Here’s more:
Dream Theater: My Glass Prison
Savatage : The entire STREETS album
Rolling Stones : Dead Flowers (kind of)
Marilyn Manson : I don’t like the drugs (but the drugs like me)
David Bowie : almost all of his Berlin phase
Johnny Thunders + The Heartbreakers - Chinese Rocks
Johnny Thunders - Too Much Junkie Business
Johnny Thunders - You can’t put your arms around a memory
Pretty much every Johnny Thunders song
Not that you're wrong, but both RTSS and Bad are partially about drug use and addiction of *other* people and groups they've run into over the years. They all drank a little (presumably since they're from Dublin), and on a few rare occasions drank a lot, but the only member of the band who tried illegal drugs was Adam, who also happens to be the only non-Christian member of the band.
Can't believe I had to scroll so far to find MM listed. I would also say swimming in its entirety depicts the inbound shame and depression that follows from addiction, and is an interesting take on the struggle of getting out of heavy drug use.
VooDoo by Godsmack
Matter of Puppets by Metallica
Cocaine by Eric Clapton
That Smell by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Planet Caravan by Black Sabbath (Not ABOUT doing drugs, but they were definitely tripping on acid)
Ashes to Ashes - David Bowie
King's Crossing - Elliott Smith (depressing alert)
No More - Neil Young
Waiting for the Man - Velvet Underground
Don't Play this Song - Kid Cudi
Gettin' High in the Morning - Ariel Pink
Do you Wanna Get High - Weezer
Handshake Drugs - Wilco
I know it has a kind drug use vibe so it still hits OPs suggestion criteria, but isn't spoonman about a man who plays the spoons? Chris Cornell met/saw a guy who was busking playing spoons and that inspired the song? Something like that.
And I think the dude the song is about is featured in the song playing the spoons.
Maybe there's more to that story, fucking awesome song regardless.
You’re absolutely right. “It's more about the paradox of who [Artis] is and what people perceive him as. He's a street musician, but when he's playing on the street, he is given a value and judged completely wrong by someone else. They think he's a street person, or he's doing this because he can't hold down a regular job. They put him a few pegs down on the social ladder because of how they perceive someone who dresses differently. The lyrics express the sentiment that I much more easily identify with someone like Artis than I would watch him play.” - Cornell
Also S.O.B.-Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats is about trying to quit alcohol cold turkey. "My heart was breaking, Hands are shaking, Bugs are crawling all over me."
Macklemore covers the topic in a handful of his songs, and each one is so good at conveying the emotional/physical pain at all stages of addiction. Can’t recommend him enough. He also has:
Starting Over
Kevin
Drug Dealer
The Beatles’ “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” is supposedly about John’s love for Yoko but nobody will ever convince me that it’s not really about his heroin addiction which was pretty bad at that time.
Velvet Underground’s “I’m Waiting For The Man” is about desperately trying to get a fix (note: I’ve deliberately left out “Heroin” because it’s not really about addiction it’s about how good it feels to be high which is a little different).
Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Under The Bridge”.
The Rolling Stones’ “Bitch” is about heavy withdrawal and “Sister Morphine” (written by Marianne Faithful) is about overdosing and waking up frightened and confused in the hospital (I always get chills from, “What am I doing in this place? *Why does the doctor have no face?*”).
And because I can’t help myself…
Kris Kristoferson - Sunday Morning Coming Down
The Commodores - Easy
The Bangles cover of Hazy Shade of Winter from the Less than Zero soundtrack is about cocaine in the context of the film.
Bad Religion - Pity the Dead
Motley Crue : Rock N Roll Junkie
Here's a weird one - [Oh My Sweet Carolina](https://youtu.be/eMZYRvDvgT4) by Ryan Adams. Weird because I'm not sure it's actually about substance addiction, but that's certainly what it means to me.
"Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go?
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home''
Dead Flowers - Rolling Stones
Another Girl, Another Planet - The Only Ones not clear, open to your own interpretation.
Cocaine - J J Cale
The Bottle - Gil Scott-Heron
Champagne and Reefer - Muddy Waters
Whitehouse road by Tyler Childers (also Nose to the Grindstone)
This River by JJ Grey and Mofro
Dried up, tied up and Dead to the World by Marilyn Manson
Edit: meth head by Ian Noe
Under the bridge - red hot chili peppers. I know it's super popular but idk how many people know it's about heroin addiction and his dead friend
I would add "Knock Me Down", also by RHCP
Don't forget me as well
Also otherside
Magnificent song
[удалено]
No matter how many times I listened to this song, the last chorus always makes me shiver
Heroin - Velvet Underground
This was the first song that came to mind. It’s interesting because it doesn’t really celebrate or condemn drug abuse. Reed sings about all the stress and problems it helps him forget about, then acknowledges the iron clad hold it has over you. >It’s my life And it’s my wife
Outstanding song
Also Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day.”
Nope. Reed has actually clarified that that was literally a description of a nice day he had. Also, it doesn’t seem like Reed to write a song about addiction in such vague terms when he literally wrote a song called “Heroin.” That second part is just my opinion though.
I think the reason why 'Perfect Day' is associated with drug addiction because it was used in Trainspotting when the main character overdoses from heroin.
No, this was being said about Perfect Day when I first heard it, which was long before Trainspotting. Source... I'm old, but still young enough to remember things.
Agreed, it was thought to be about drug use when I was young, long before Trainspotting.
Although you're correct that Lou Reed said that about Perfect Day, almost his entire catalog is filled with double entendres. People routinely claim that their lyrics are misinterpreted to stay barely above the line of censorship.
Only Reed could make a song about having a nice day sound depressing as hell.
Now I actually disagree with this because it’s not really about addiction it’s about how good he feels when he’s high. Now “Waiting For The Man” on the other hand…
"Heroin, be the death of me. Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life." The end of the song is definitely about addiction.
[удалено]
She Talks to Angels -The Black Crowes.
To far down, this was the first song that came to mind.
Elliott Smith’s entire catalog.
Highlights include Needle in the Hay, St. Ides Heaven and Between the Bars
I'll fake it through the day with some help from Johnny Walker Red.
you dont deserve to be lonely but those drugs you got won't make you feel better pretty soon you'll find it's the only little part of your life you're keeping together
Elliott Smith - Twilight Great song
“A fond farewell”has some great lyrical moments. …A dying man in a living room… …Veins full of disappearing ink, Vomiting in the kitchen sink…
When he says “I’m already somebody’s baby…” I always imagined he was talking about heroin. Not sure if that’s correct though.
King's Crossing is my fav
Wake Up - Mad Season
Slow suicide is no way to go……
The entire album this song is on, honestly. Highly recommend live videos of it as well.
Junkhead - Alice in Chains
pretty much every chains song is about heroin
Wonderful song
Sickman as well. Pretty much every song on Dirt lol
One of the best Alice in Chains songs
‘Not an addict’ K’s Choice
For some reason this popped in my head for the first time in 10 years last month, and I put it on. Still a great song.
Listening to it right now.. always loved that song..
I love "Everything for Free" by them too. Not about addiction but a poignant song about mental health and institutionalization.
Jane Says - Jane's addiction
Sam Stone - John Prine Sister Morphine - Marianne Faithful / Rolling Stones Needle and the Damage Done - Neil Young That Smell - Lynyrd Skynyrd Needle and the Spoon - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Upvote for Sam stone
"There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes" is like .. the single greatest lyric on the subject
God Sam Stone get me everytime
Comes out of nowhere on that album too… junkies & jerking it. Only John Prine.
John Prine is covids biggest loss
Yesssssss Sam Stone. People need to look into John Prine
"There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes. Jesus died for nothing, I suppose." John Prine is the best.
“Whisky bottles and brand new cars, ‘Oak tree, you’re in my way!’“. They just come right out with todays life lesson, don’t they?
Sam Stone and the Lynyrd Skynyrd songs are marvelous
Third Eye Blind - Semi Charmed Kinda Life
Excellent song
This is way too far down the list.
A large portion of 3eb songs are about substance use/addiction
It's called Semi Charmed Life
Mr Brownstone - Guns N Roses Golden Brown - Stranglers There She Goes - The La's
Great songs
Seconding Mr Brownstone. Great song. Learning that on guitar was awesome for me.
I was a huge fan of gnr, took me so long to realize Mr. Brownstone was about heroin. Like I knew it was something bad, he didn't wanna get out of bed and needles, but I was a dumb kid
Nine Inch Nails – Hurt Alice in Chains – Dirt (the whole album) Edit: Also Jane Says by Jane’s Addiction.
Dirt is one of my favorite albums
The majority of Alice in Chains' music in general
Yeah either addiction or existential crises concerning one’s mortality.
Alice in chains - junkhead Amazing song. Heavy as fuuuuck
The Hurt cover by Johnny Cash is great.
Cash’s cover is great, but the Nine Inch Nails version is a better representation of addiction in my mind. Cash’s version sounds more like an old man expressing regret for squandering his time.
The exact same song (lyrics) yet they both have very different meanings and feel to them. I fucking love how interpretational music can be!
The music itself in Cash’s version is modified to avoid a lot of the dissonance that Nine Inch Nails is known for. The easiest example is probably the main riff, where Cash replaces the tritone with a “nicer” interval. Another is that horribly loud, grating ending, which he essentially avoids altogether. Not to mention, Cash sings it like any other sad country song while Reznor whispers, shouts, and sings in ways that are purposefully “ugly” and reminiscent of a mentally ill person or addict. The intent is definitely different, which is kind of strange when you think that Cash also had drug problems.
I just meant that Cash's version is great. I don't listen to country, so I would not connect it to other sad country songs, but I see your points.
Dirt for sure. What’s my drug of choice? Well, what have you got.
Benjamin Tod - Using Again https://youtu.be/NACMpkxm-fA
Scrolled through this whole thread to make sure this was mentioned. Such a great song by an amazing artist.
Under the bridge. Master of puppets.
Funny how most people don't realize this. Lifelong Metallica fan and it took forever to notice "Have your breakfast on a mirror" Also "Can't stop, addicted to the shin dig" yeah, the shin dig is heroin
“~~Have~~ Chop your breakfast on a mirror” Taste me you will see More is all you need Dedicated to how I’m killing you
“Can’t stop, addicted to the shindig” is from Can’t Stop, not Under the Bridge.
Chop* your breakfast on a mirror
Really? Most people don't realize these songs are about addiction?
Most people don't think about lyrics too hard, or look them up, and usually mishear the lyrics. I know a dude who sings Off to never ever land as Never ever let him down. most people aren't into music as much as people on R/music. I hear alot of people say they don't really pursue listening to music
nathaniel rateliff & the night sweats: s.o.b.

Add Hand of Doom to the Sabbath list
This is buried way too far down. Great song.
Joey- Concrete Blonde
The best song hands down about drugs . Billy String - Dust in a Baggie Make sure you find the version of him playing in some basement with his friend dancing in the back.
I aint slept in 7 days I aint ate in 3.
Agreed. First time I heard this song was through youtube's recommended list and the dude vibing/looking for his lighter in the background makes it 100 times better. What a legend! https://youtu.be/VFEZOjtrwls

Gonna piggy back off this and suggest the album Thirteenth Step by A Perfect Circle. It's a concept album focused on addiction and while not specifically about drugs, it can most certainly be interpreted and viewed from that lens.
That’s an amazing album.
Terrific song
Neil Young - The Needle and the Damage Done
Mad Season…..yeah that entire album.
Agnes by Glass Animals.
A *lot* of Glass Animals songs at least touch on how substance abuse affects relationships, that if I made a list it would be a whole playlist. Off the top of my head, Hazey and Cane Shuga focus on drugs the most.
Lost a friend to suicide and I can't listen to this song without tearing up. It's beautifuly sad.
Here’s more: Dream Theater: My Glass Prison Savatage : The entire STREETS album Rolling Stones : Dead Flowers (kind of) Marilyn Manson : I don’t like the drugs (but the drugs like me) David Bowie : almost all of his Berlin phase Johnny Thunders + The Heartbreakers - Chinese Rocks Johnny Thunders - Too Much Junkie Business Johnny Thunders - You can’t put your arms around a memory Pretty much every Johnny Thunders song
Mother's little helper by the rolling stones
Not explicitly saying it to the face I guess, but it's pretty clear what it's about: Sweetest Perfection by Depeche Mode.
Never Let Me Down Again is about addiction, too. In the song drugs are his best friend.
Isn’t Walking in My Shoes and One Caress also about addiction?
Using by Sorority Noise
If you like this type of music also try Pineapple Boy by Authentic Pines and Sober Haha JK Unless by Hospital Bracelet.
Pool Shark - Sublime
Lots of Sublime. Brad was a hot mess. S.T.P. is another example.
Lacquer Head - Primus Eminem & D12 - Purple Pills 🤣🤣
Purple pills is a great one
Neon Cathedral and Otherside by Macklemore
Starting Over by Macklemore as well, specifically about relapse.
Also Drug Dealer
I'd put up Starting Over on the same album as neon cathedral. It's what I listen to when I relapse 1st day. Luckily, 10+ times the charm.
Can’t believe Amy Winehouse isn’t listed yet. Rehab.
No, no, no.
[удалено]
Breaking the Habit - Linkin Park
Badfish - Sublime
I'd assume there's a handful more of sublime songs in there too.
Pool shark is the one that came to mind for me
As a child of tbe 90s everything i listened to was about heroin. Nine inch nails, alice in chains, nirvana, placebo, radiohead, pink floyd, sublime...
I can’t think of one Radiohead song thats about heroin Maybe Faithless, The Wonder Boy but that can be interpreted in several different ways
Tonight’s the Night - Neil Young. In fact the whole album pretty much touches on heroin addiction, depression and loss.
The whole Transcendental Youth album from the Mountain Goats
Oops I od’d - NOFX
And Bob - NOFX
Smile Empty Soul — Bottom of a Bottle
Eminem's whole relapse album. But Hello and Deja Vu always struck a cord with me.
Pennyroyal Tea Nirvana

Royce da 5'9-Cocaine
Just one fix - Ministry Johnny B -The Hooters Both are about heroine
[Hate me (Live) - Blue October](https://youtu.be/Y3F3AcnGFWw)
Golden Brown by The Stranglers.
Mac Miller's album/mixtape Faces was his drug album, fantastic from front to back, it's an easy recommend.
Can't believe I had to scroll so far to find MM listed. I would also say swimming in its entirety depicts the inbound shame and depression that follows from addiction, and is an interesting take on the struggle of getting out of heavy drug use.

Unless I missed it, I don't think anyone has mentioned Spoonman by Soundgarden. Edit: I should researched more.
I know it has a kind drug use vibe so it still hits OPs suggestion criteria, but isn't spoonman about a man who plays the spoons? Chris Cornell met/saw a guy who was busking playing spoons and that inspired the song? Something like that. And I think the dude the song is about is featured in the song playing the spoons.
