First of all, there's the song Lucy In The Sky with Diamonds. The song goes through all of these strange images, most likely hallucination on the part of one Beatle or another. And it probably doesn't help that the letters to abbreviate are L, S, and D. The song is cool and well-written, but it's so hard to really like without feeling like a druggie yourself. Some people vehemently deny that idea and say it has something to do with paintings or something else entirely. You can never really know, but this one seems too heavy to ignore.
Next, "Nine in the Afternoon," by Panic at the Disco. This one's questionable. Honestly, I never thought about it that way until Alli pointed it out to me, so I can't say I see it entirely. However, if you think about the lyrics "Into a place where thoughts can bloom" and "Your eyes are the size of the moon," it would sort of make sense. Overall I find the song to be just a feel-good song and it was pretty well written. It's one of those songs where the lyrics just sound cool and make you think a bit.
And then there's the category of rappers and drugs. Eminem? It's amazing how much he changed. He had songs like "Old Time's Sake" talking about how great smoking is and he'll get pretty crude with those types of things. And then his latest album basically revolves around the idea of him giving up drugs completely and how much he's learned about life. I honestly think he was careless with his words and now regrets it. I read an article somewhere about how he feels bad about referring to women as "hos and bitches." Yeah, he should.
Overall, I hate the idea that loads of band people are druggies. And Alli Vega, I hope you go to bed at a decent time tonight. PLEASE. Three-thirty is not decent.
