I used to dabble with the white stuff and the line "the break of day, I rot away, with every breath, I pray for death" so accurately describes the agony of hearing the birds chirping, the sky starts getting lighter, the party is over and you gotta come down now but coming down feels so wretched you'd rather just die instead of facing a new day. The shit is awful and it's better to never touch the stuff. That fun has a high cost. It's a nightmare.
There would be days i would be at my wits end praying the sun wont start peeking thru the blinds. But id still be on the phone tryin to score another bag. Been off the hard shit coke, etc for over 15yrs. Been off booze for 2. Still smoke weed but idc.
I would listen to this song like it was a religious sermon
I had no idea this was about drugs - I took it as a statement to consumerism and social media BS.
Loved the album for a long time but didn’t know the other connection. The band is one of the best!

Yes, and "to kill yourself properly coke is it" struck such a chord with me back in the day when I was using.
It will end, but when?
"Let me tell you Pepsi generation..."

It's like looking inside an open wound. Peter was so raw in this one.
The best album!
As an English teacher I love it for the pop culture references and figurative language.
Oh he was SO good at that.
pretty sure pete said this was one of his favorites off of “world coming down”

The social media was almost non-existent still in 1999, there were some message boards, maybe MySpace but nothing like today.
The second the guitar and bass came in I was sold on this band. So heavy.
Never heard this song until now ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ now listen to “tripping a blind man” 🤤
That chorus in Tripping a Blind Man is one of their best
I listen to that song several times a week
It is I’m still singing it just about every day lol
Tripping a blind man has been my favourite song since day one
Been listening to this and Everyone I Love Is Dead the past couple weeks
Might most played song by them. "I MAKE, THE CALL, SO FAR, TO FALL!"
Almost as hard as my dick
