I am getting that she is addict, the hair is from a little boy she got taken away from her due to her addiction, and the cross is from someone she has not met, not yet. She is probably a fingernails width from oding every time she slams and plans on meeting Jesus, but not yet.
She pulls those shades down tight, most addicts are paranoid, thinking someone is watching them There is smile when the pain comes, thats the needle. The pain, what she gets from the needle, is making things right.
The song is about a woman that has lost a child ((((( The Little boys hair in her pocket ))))) .......She turn to illegal drugs to kill the pain...... Based on real life : ) This is what the song is about......
yall dont even know what its about if you listen its about a girl who is a little off in her thinking and a heroin addict hence she smiles when the pain comes pain gonna make everything alright i know i live with a girl that says alot of stuff like this. she thinks alot of stuff or says stuff that isnt remotely true she lives in a fantasy world that i dont live in.

@LadyReginaSmiles you are wrong this is a song about a transexual prostitue with ESP and a partially severed spine. why can't you people hear this? jk. you are 100% right. i just wanted to see what it felt like to type stupid stuff lol. (it feels awesome)
the fact that the drummer steve gorman went to high school in my hometown makes me forget about the meaning of the song entirely. the band is KICKASS!
To me this song has always meant something else. I don't know maybe its because when I dealt with my own demons and depression. Yeah sure the girl might be addicted to something. I don't know to me it always sounded like she had to hide behind her addictions to some guy she liked or whoever. Especially if she has told that person that she is an orphan.
It's a good thing someone posted this on fb. I nearly forgot ABOUT IT.can you believe it after it being so wonderful placed in my life at the right time so many yrs later. Who has to lie?
NO she believes in what she says therefore it is not an itent lie. IT IS HER TRUTH>
I think it's about a girl addicted to Heroin because she lost someone (a little boy) and she's shooting H "she smiles when the pain comes, the pain gonna make everything all right" and "she talks to angels, says they all know her name" she's high and talking to the one she lost.
you start using it in manipulative ways that get you what you want in the short term, but are unstable and destructive in the long term, for yourself and the people around you. And other people have it somehow without having deliberately wanting the ability, or even understanding it, and it destabilizes them.
just like the comic books, superpowers aren't always a blessing, both overtly and subtly.
You guys are all WRONG!! This song is about a girl that has to lie about things to make herself feel better and loved. She wants to be able to do differently though, if you guys would actually listen to the lyrics then you would know this. It's not about a girl that has ESP!!
@jmw13642 I think the power of art, in any form, is that it can be interpreted any way the viewer wants. This is especially true of songs. Some music artists won't even say what their songs are about so that the meaning can be interpreted without any bias by the individual. I've had songs be very healing and inspirational for me by meaning something completely different to me than the artist originally wrote about. =)
@jmw13642 The song is allegedly about a woman who lost a child (one of the "angels" of the title) and who now copes with her pain through the use of illegal drugs In 2010, Chris Robinson explained in a webisode (part of a promotional internet series for their 2010 Croweology album) that the song is about a goth girl he knew back in Atlanta and that was “into heroin”
@jmw13642 you guys need to listen to jmw, and ESPECIALLY the lyrics. this song is about a lovable girl who is starved for attention. while she doesn't realize how much she is loved, she lies the moreover to fill that void.
This is about a woman who had ESP. Addiction has nothing to do with it. Anyone ever met an Eastern Indian Yogi??? I have been given thngs by people who said they knew they had the gift for me long before we met. She paints her eyes black because she can't stand the inflow of info. When the pain comes, ask a yogi about that...enough said.
this song came out when i was a teenager,and i loved it then! I love it now because it remind's me of my 15 year old daughter "the bitch at the end of my chain'
i wish someone could explain whats happened to music these days :( this is real music right here man! i cant even watch tv anymore without listening to bullshit
@MrOnPoint1001 The song seems to be about a woman who lost a child (one of the "angels" of the title) and who now copes with her pain through the use of illegal drugs
@Kaaaleb Yes Kaaaleb. I agree with your discription. This song could have been about me. I lost my boy thru addiction. Got my sons back after 3 years of hard work and sobriety. That was 12 years ago.
@llkylej91 - it's the pop station and MTV version which cuts out the first verse that's repeated as the last verse on the cd. Rock stations played the album version.
Thank u so much for posting this!!! One of my BF's died four months ago, he used to sing this to his wife whom he loved very much. He now leaves behind a loving wife and son, god bless him. I love to hear this song it reminds me of some good times we all used to have as teenagers. Rip jason
Aw, The Black Crowes.... Love these guys. Had my ex tattoo "Amorica's" logo on the back of my leg, but for legal purposes, instead of a bong; I tattoed a peace pipe. Soooo cool.
