Be the first to rate this song

Lyrics

Drug is a rebellion

Drug use is a form of rebellion.

But see how it burns your brain

Highlighting the detrimental effects of drug use on the brain.

So sad song, sad song

Emphasizing the sorrowful nature of the song.

You thought you knew much of life

The belief that one understands life well.

But Society is your wife

Metaphorically depicting society as a significant commitment.

So sad song, sad song

Reiterating the melancholic tone of the song.

Lost in luxury haze thought it seems to be

Feeling lost in a luxurious but hazy lifestyle.

That your music's still free

Suggesting that despite challenges, the music remains a form of freedom.

You lie in your grave and you trust yourself

Lying in the grave symbolizes self-deception, losing oneself.

But drying is the way it looks like

Implying that the appearance may not reflect reality.

HEY HEY HEY (don't leave me no more)...

An emotional plea for companionship and support.

Death is a rebellion

Death is portrayed as an act of rebellion.

But see how it burns your skin

Highlighting the destructive consequences of rebellion.

So sad song, sad song

Reiteration of the sad and melancholic theme.

Every day you're closer to your exit door

Every day brings one closer to the inevitable end.

Take care that you find your best way to shine

Encouraging finding a positive and shining path in life.

Let's not live a sad song no more!

An appeal to move away from a sorrowful existence.

Repeat verse 2

Repeating the metaphor of society as a spouse.

HEY HEY HEY (don't leave me no more)...

Repetition of the emotional plea for support.
