Reply to comment by mareck001 in Good songs please by danmargo

I mean songs that fulfill the OP's request of having drug references. There are songs about dying, about flying, about money, about mental illness, about war, but about drugs?

Yeah I forgot who said it but there was a guitarist who said he could play every Hendrix song and solo note for note identically but he still can’t imagine how he came up with it.

I can think of a few:

"I wish that you would just leave,

'Cause your presence still lingers here,

And it won't leave me alone."

--"My Immortal," by Evanescence

. . .

"Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.

It slips away,

And all your money won't another minute buy."

--"Dust In The Wind" by Kansas

. . .

"What a relief it would be to end this all.

How easy to fly the white flag and give up.

But would I run today, just to die another day?

Give up now, and every fight has been in vain."

--"Stand Up and Fight" by Turisas

I agree. Eddie Hazel is not the best guitarist of all time. But, I think it would be hard for any musician to make a song as good as Maggot Brain. It's like asking an artist to recreate the Mona Lisa.

I think Maggot brain falls to the wayside in these discussions because of the player. Eddie Hazel was an amazing player but outside of maggot brain there’s not much else where his skills are showcased. I listened to everything he played after I heard maggot brain for the first time and nothing else came close, kinda similar to being s one hit wonder. Bucket head is probably one of the closest artists to emulate this sound imo.

The Cure - Open

I can't take it anymore
This it I've become
This is it like I get
When my life's going numb
I just keep moving my mouth
I just keep moving my feet
I say I'm loving you to death
Like I'm losing my breath
And all the smiles that I wear
And all the games that I play
And all the drinks that I mix
And I drink until I'm sick
And all the faces I make
And all the shapes that I throw
And all the people I meet
And all the words that I know
Makes me sick to the heart
Oh I feel so tired
And the way the rain comes down hard
That's how I feel inside

Bitch where you when I was walkin'?
Now I run the game got the whole world talkin', King Kunta
— Kendrick Lamar - King Kunta

Don't waste your time
Or time will, waste, you...
— Muse - Knights of Cydonia

They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you gotta ride it well
The world is full of Kings and Queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
It's Heaven and Hell, oh well

And they'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls
It's Heaven and Hell, oh no
— Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
— The Who, Won’t Get Fooled Again

My little China girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
You know
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world
— David Bowie, China Girl

That's life
(That's life)
That's what all the people say
You're riding high in April, shot down in May
— Frank Sinatra, That’s Life
