Listen to this album in order. The song before this is Pain. If you're commenting on this song without the knowledge that these songs are direct contrasts, you're commenting uninformed. This song to me says that drugs can obviously be hurtful and harmful, but the contrast with the previous song says that it's not all bad. Lots of mixed emotions in this song, and it generates a lot of thoughts about addictions. Also, I don't really consider weed a drug, and it really shouldn't be the focus here.
Weed is not a drug, its an herb (; You cannot physically get addicted to marijuana so that's just ridiculousness. I've been a 'pothead' for 4yrs and I love who I am and where I'm at in life. I'm not any different of a person just cause I love weed lol. Worry about the bigger problems in the world. -.-
@marieciera12 I know a guy who went shizophrenic because of weed, do not talk as if it cannot cause problems or addictions. I have seen firsthand that it can.
@MaNiaCx92 Yes, & I know autistic children who get better when they don't eat carb's or sugar. Thats brain chemistry. Weed compared to alcohol & other substances is RELATIVELY harmless. The guy you know was predisposed to schizophrenia. These aren't even the original lyrics.
I take drugs, as you can see my intelligence is not effected. I take drugs because I deal with a lot of stress, it hit the point where I just wanted to experience the world for just me. Hallucinogens, Magic Mushrooms, LSD, Salvia, etc. These drugs helped me experience my inner mind. I could never understand why, I fell into drugs because I hated drugs before. It just happened by choice.
i quit drugs for her, then she quit me for him if only tonight I could go back to the the long night drive that brought me the world i love.... the worst part is that she said it would work and thats there's nothingwrong with me. she killed the old me and now i live in pain, but i could always count on futures
I love this song but it also makes me kinda sad because I think about 2 of my friends that started doing harsh drugs (not weed) when we all entered different high schools 4 years ago. One of them just entered rehab for the third time for a meth and cocaine addiction. Ive heard the other shoots heroine every day. I havent seen either of them in years, and I actually do miss them...
pot, or heroin. a drug is a drug. not because the law says so, but because of the way they affect u when they are used. I can confidently say that pot has a more debilitating affect on u, than heroin does in terms of a "high". I have seen ppl use heroin, and then have a talk with their parents right after without the parents knowing that they were high. Now if this person was stoned, it would be obvious that they were high. heroin or pot, they have te same emotional effects when trying to quit
@ghostdrab your a fucking idiot. i have been an addict of both for many years and i must tell you, it doesnt matter what drug it is. I have seen people function normally with either drug and I have seen them be complete trainwrecks. One time right after my brother shot up he tried to say we should hang w/ a kid and every time he tried texting the kid he would nod off and repeat himself and try again. IT TOOK ONE HOUR for us to finally go out. If you think that is 'function' then bless your soul.
@ghostdrab and i would choose to stop smoking ANY DAY over going through heroin withdrawal again. I dont wish that on anyone. so don't speak unless you can say you have experienced it first hand. have a great day.
@ghostdrab Lololol I went in front of my parents high after smoking all the time and they didn't figure it out until three years later. Soooo, that's the person's fault for being an idiot and getting caught. Eye drops, breath mints and cologne/perfume can prevent that real easy. Don't ever think its okay to compare heroin to weed. Shoot up some heroin and smoke a bowl. Then tell me it's the same. Lulz.
I smoke weed and im fine...I'm tired of people saying how horrible it is. i have a job and a beautiful girl....she accepts me for it..as long as it doesnt get in the way of other things and as long as im not hurting anyone it doesnt seem so bad....
what the hell is drstabatoe talking about? walking away from someone who has a dependancy can prove fatal. that person might be refusing help at the time, might be doing little to help themselves, but there will come a time when they will need u, and u need to be there when they do. most of us realise in the end that drugs cause more harm than good, and when that realisation comes, we need the help of a good, honest friend. i wouldnt be here now if it wasnt for that person standing by me..
Whether it be weed, alcohol, pills or shooting up... If you've been in this situation you know that the person you love has that weakness and cant recognize it. I know people that are very dear to me that are addicted to pot and say the exact same shit you guys are saying " Weeds not a drug! Its not like coke or other shit... I can stop when i want"... Yet they let themselves slip none the less as others. Who are any of you to judge tragedy and compare it? Pathetic.
I hate when people try to compare or one up somone else's story. No matter what it is, a drug can manipulate a persons train of thought and natural mind state or else it wouldnt be called a drug! Every person is different and has their own weaknesses to shit. How about instead of trying to determine what exact drug hes singing about, just enjoy the fucking song for its meaning and sympathize with his pain and relate to it.
This song always gave me inspiration during a rough time in my life. For anyone who has ever battled or is battling addiction I hope that it helps you too.
Both of my parents chose Meth over me and my three siblings.. This song gets me everytime.. My dad is now in prison. Havent talked to him in months. And my mom still chose to do meth... I rarely talk to her. But I miss them and think of them on a daily basis. So whoever is saying WEED ADDICTION can go fuck off. cause meth is WAY harder. And you dont NEED weed, You WANT AND CRAVE!! Theres a big different between them...
i know more people relate this song to weed and such, but to me it applies to my father who is a alcoholic, and he chose the alcohol over us multiple times and even now that we have left him he says hes changed but he still drinks and it makes me sad because i know we can never really move forward until he stops, but the worst part is that i was crying my heart out to him about it all and it was like i was talking to a brick wall. he wont listen to us. i hope all of you will have better luck.
you know, for most people they can say and think this song is sad but until they have been the one.. looking right into the one you love more than anything in existence and asking them with tears rolling down both of your faces, to choose between your love.. or drugs.. and to see the answer in her eyes.. the cold pain of the truth you dont want to hear, and then before you can think, she says drugs.. and then nothing is said.. because i knew their was nothing i could say or do that was enough..
@superkmpm I see your point, but I also believe that if you try really hard and really love this friend you will succeed in saving him. You just have to believe in the first place :)
mother took my first born then i lose a good job as a diesel mechanic my boss gave me several chances to pass it but i didnt my wife was pregnant i sent her back to rehab and now i have a newborn and still anit able to get my first born back drugs of any kind drugs will tear anybodys life apart this song helps though
i did drugs for a while mostly weed and drugs are drugs i smoked half oz a day it took alot from life time money and ex girlfriends went to prison got out got married was doing good for four years started smoking again my wife got addicted to pain pills she went to rehab two got out went right back at it she eventually started smoking crack her
You know everyone talks about there friends with this song. I gotta say I've seen the same thing. But sometimes I here this song's lyrics and I think of myself. I guess I've failed to be a good citizen or whatever you call it today, but really theres two sides of drugs. The happiness and parts of yourself you find when your doing them is what makes people stay, and if you haven't done them you have no idea. The other half is wondering what you wouldve been without them. I think I speak for many.
in my senior year of high school i got into a drunk driving accident that put me into a coma for 2 weeks. I couldn't go back to school because i had to recover from a brain injury. The endless freetime and excessive boredness sent me into a downward spiral into drugs. Now i sit here 2 years later, a high school drop out, watching my other friends go to college,while im still trying to pick up the pieces.
This song reminds me of my exboyfriend,he was addicted to meth and promised me he'd quit or he did quit,then he'd go off for 2 weeks no word from him and suddenly he is back.....I broke up with him I couldn't handle the heartbreak anymore.
My cousin came down to live with us last year and he's been addicted to drugs since he was a teen and he's going to be 36 soon, i've heard him say he was going to die drinking and doing drugs.
I heard this song for the first time yesterday... 3 hours later my friend took half a bottle of anti depressants and nearly killed himself... This song makes too much sense to me
I am a drug addict and my sister made me listen to this song while I was in active addiction and she was crying and I was emotionless. Now I am in Recovery just got kicked out of rehab for sneaking out and getting my script this is the hardest thing Ive ever had to do.
I tried as hard as I could to be there for this person but they always had their own demons to deal with, ones I would never be able to see, no matter how hard I tried.....
I know he probably wont be around to see me married, to see me have kids or would he even care? I act like I forgave him but deep down I could never, because all's he truly cares for is his drugs. alls I wanted was a normal family and Ill never have it not now not with him not anywhere and that just kills me and no one bothers to ask whats wrong, if anyone else is dealing with a drug addict friend of family member I'm so sorry.
My dads a drug addict I never really talked to him until a few months ago..I was the one who had to find him. You know what his first words were when he found out I was looking for him? "Oh shit!!!" :( I had a bad living situation and still do, Other wise I would of never even tried I would never accept how he walked out on me and all his other children for meth
This song reminds me of him very much. Im only 16 to I shouldn't have to deal with this I feel like the parent. Im trying to hold on.
@HerbandMusic : hey, the best thing you can do is not to follow his way. I'm somehow in your situation, but I don't have as courage as you do cuz I've never spoken to him about it. stand strong. you did what you thought would be the best. no sorrows or regrets. think, what would you think if you never spoke to him and he passed away? maybe you would think you could do something for him. you could ...
I listen to this song continuously... My parents were addicted to meth and weed. My moms recovering but it still hurts that i never really knew my own parents.. i knew them on drugs.. i never knew what a family was like because they loved their drugs more then me. i live with my grandma. my dads in prison. my moms in a drug recovery house. My moms recovery means the most to me<3
@Brittnee22 Wow. That sounds almost exactly what I went through. My parents started doing Meth when I was a Junior in High school. We finally got evicted from our place in 2005 because of that very fact. I had to live with a friend while my parents lived on the streets. My dad's in prison right now and my mom is recovering. She's doing much better. It's really hard to forgive for that kind of thing though. I want to blame everything that happened on them, but I don't. I put on the happy face.
People that do drugs ARE NOT bad people. Addiction is a nasty, horrible disease...I don't know a single heroin addict that is happy...don't abandon someone...they need you more than you know....
drugs or me? i was addicted to smok'ng BAD. we grew up poor yet i managed to find the drugs with ease. it took over my body but deep inside i fought my way out. i have a beautiful son an i don't want him to be left here alone. so i fought the urges everyday. now i'm surfaced once again an i try to get the message thru to the young. we need you all. thank's to Jimmy Eat World for this message.
@weedy1900 you were addicted to smoking what? since your name is weedy im gonna say weed. and weed addiction is in your head man. i smoked for 6 years multiple times a day, and i litterally quit in a second and havent touched it since. everybody has to grow up.
@amelliahere That's fucking bullshit, and I absolutely hate you for saying that. Addicts are people too, and just because a drug has taken control of someone doesn't mean they don't have human feelings capable of understanding the meaning of this song. It could've very easily been someone sober who legitimately didn't like the band. Rethink what you said, please.
@Killer191919 You hate a person. That you've never met. For writing a comment on Youtube. Apparently you understand drugs so well, try and take a fucking joke.
this is by far one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard. the effort to get the message across is of course upsetting, but if it could be explained perfectly through a song, then this is it. i can't see how anyone who got themselves involved in drugs WOULDN'T feel guilty listening to this.
my granddad was killed in a car crash because some losers were high and drunk and decided to aim straight for the car my grandad and great uncle were in. it killed them both pretty much instantly but the druggie losers lived. my mum refuses to listen to this song because it depresses her but for me it touches a nerve and i love it. i never got to meet my granddad because of drugs. i hope those douchebags never stop thinking about the fact the killed two men. I hate drugs. RIP
drugs is a sickness... been through it... it numbs the pain... wutever ur fren is facing... i hope he/she is ok.... they're never dead jus in pain... hold em... let em kno ur still there.... it's sad but don't be too quick to judge
I spent 3 years with someone that was addicted to pain killers, she finally got arrested but sadly drug me down with her. I was charged with aiding and abetting a felon. I lost my home, my job, my family, and the one person i loved more than anything. This is the first time i've listened to this song. Its been two years and every line still made me breakdown. I needed this song two years ago
There were so many guys that I could've loved and dated, but they were ALL addicts or soon-to-be addicts. My friend just lost her boyfriend to weed. He didn't love her as much as he loved it.
I don't care what addicts say, it's addicting. It's gross. It's not worth it.
i'm currently in a situation where i like this guy and he likes me back but he's addicted to drugs. he swears up and down he has stopped but i'm not buying it. it's kept me away from being in a relationship with him. it hurts so much.
@TheViolentDesign I think you are def right, this song touches me so much and I don't do drugs (just alcohol which I guess is a drug as well). I love him but I cannot remain faithful, I think he knows to some respect, but he still loves me and it tears him apart and I hate myself for it.
@TheViolentDesign I think you are very right I don't want to go into to many details, but it is a failure in my part to not remain faithful even though we love each other
to lose a person because they died is hard, but they will always be with you. to lose someone before they've died is harder, and you can never really get them back. but you cant save everyone, even if they mean the world to you, even if you could trade places with them. do anything for them....
@StopMotionMichigan I have to disagree. There's a chance no matter how small that you can salvage something with someone if they are still living. Once a person dies, you literally can never get that person back. The two are completely different.
@DrStabatoe You can't save someone unless they want to be saved. Sometimes, no matter how much you care about someone, you have to let them go for your own sake. After a certain point of trying to help, it's not selfish to leave, it's simply putting yourself first and taking yourself out of a harmful situation. Unless you're truly an asshole, fuck what these people say.
Drugs killed 4 of my classmates. This is stern message for people who are thinking about taking drugs or are on them, it is a story. 1 puff will take your mind to another world. another will take your mind away completly, another will kill your relations with your friend, your mother, your father, your companion. another will lose your house, your possesions. another puff will break you, into a slave for drugs, and you will do anything in your power to take it. (is it really worth it?)
@Jdhslightlystoopid1 weed doesn't kill anyone, i'm obviously talking about meth, crack, and all those drugs. It makes me sad to see people basically be a souless carcuss.
@227Benjy i used to do meth. got me out of my antisocial shell. some good times, very dark and unconventional as they were. the sex was great. wouldnt advocate prolonged use though. now i make 80k a year using genetically altered adenovirus capsid shells to deliver gene therapies!
The ex-girlfriend left for Twentynine Palms away from Austin,Texas to collect what she inherited from her mothers death which was $76,000. Her whole family knew about the amount and most of them were drug dealers. Got her into smoking speed. One thing led to another and she disappeared from me. Was the first girl I ever loved in my life.
I have to ask. Why do some Youtube users disable embedding? Embedding does not reduce hits. Views of embedded vids still count toward the total number of hits. I just don't see any logical reason to disable embedding, regardless of whether or not the content belongs to the poster.
I understand this song so well. Jim's words feel like mine. I went through this with my ex-boyfriend, who I was with for about three years. We still love each other - but I hardly recognize him when he's strung out on coke. I miss the person I know he is, the person I fell in love with. "I wish that you could see the stranger next to me - you're sorry, you swear it, you're done, but I can't tell you from the drugs." I couldn't have said it better.
jimmy has been there many times throughout my young life for me and going through a breakup with a ten year relationship to an alcoholic this song has helped me immensely thank you!
my girlfriend just started getting into drugs really bad and it seriously hurts me just to imagine that when I'm not around she's just high , in some other world. just like a waste of a person that could be something great, and she has to go and wreck herself by using drugs . it fucking hurts
@Moolah47 I feel for you. My boyfriend has begun doing the same thing. Frustrating beyond belief when you beg them to quit and they just dont want to.

This song reminds me of my exboyfriend,he was addicted to meth and promised me he'd quit or he did quit,then he'd go off for 2 weeks no word from him and suddenly he is back.....I broke up with him I couldn't handle the heartbreak anymore.

And it hurts to know Ive never meant him.
I know he probably wont be around to see me married, to see me have kids or would he even care? I act like I forgave him but deep down I could never, because all's he truly cares for is his drugs. alls I wanted was a normal family and Ill never have it not now not with him not anywhere and that just kills me and no one bothers to ask whats wrong, if anyone else is dealing with a drug addict friend of family member I'm so sorry.

My dads a drug addict I never really talked to him until a few months ago..I was the one who had to find him. You know what his first words were when he found out I was looking for him? "Oh shit!!!" :( I had a bad living situation and still do, Other wise I would of never even tried I would never accept how he walked out on me and all his other children for meth
This song reminds me of him very much. Im only 16 to I shouldn't have to deal with this I feel like the parent. Im trying to hold on.

@HerbandMusic : hey, the best thing you can do is not to follow his way. I'm somehow in your situation, but I don't have as courage as you do cuz I've never spoken to him about it. stand strong. you did what you thought would be the best. no sorrows or regrets. think, what would you think if you never spoke to him and he passed away? maybe you would think you could do something for him. you could ...

@Brittnee22 Wow. That sounds almost exactly what I went through. My parents started doing Meth when I was a Junior in High school. We finally got evicted from our place in 2005 because of that very fact. I had to live with a friend while my parents lived on the streets. My dad's in prison right now and my mom is recovering. She's doing much better. It's really hard to forgive for that kind of thing though. I want to blame everything that happened on them, but I don't. I put on the happy face.

@amelliahere That's fucking bullshit, and I absolutely hate you for saying that. Addicts are people too, and just because a drug has taken control of someone doesn't mean they don't have human feelings capable of understanding the meaning of this song. It could've very easily been someone sober who legitimately didn't like the band. Rethink what you said, please.

my granddad was killed in a car crash because some losers were high and drunk and decided to aim straight for the car my grandad and great uncle were in. it killed them both pretty much instantly but the druggie losers lived. my mum refuses to listen to this song because it depresses her but for me it touches a nerve and i love it. i never got to meet my granddad because of drugs. i hope those douchebags never stop thinking about the fact the killed two men. I hate drugs. RIP

to lose a person because they died is hard, but they will always be with you. to lose someone before they've died is harder, and you can never really get them back. but you cant save everyone, even if they mean the world to you, even if you could trade places with them. do anything for them....

@DrStabatoe You can't save someone unless they want to be saved. Sometimes, no matter how much you care about someone, you have to let them go for your own sake. After a certain point of trying to help, it's not selfish to leave, it's simply putting yourself first and taking yourself out of a harmful situation. Unless you're truly an asshole, fuck what these people say.

Drugs killed 4 of my classmates. This is stern message for people who are thinking about taking drugs or are on them, it is a story. 1 puff will take your mind to another world. another will take your mind away completly, another will kill your relations with your friend, your mother, your father, your companion. another will lose your house, your possesions. another puff will break you, into a slave for drugs, and you will do anything in your power to take it. (is it really worth it?)

The ex-girlfriend left for Twentynine Palms away from Austin,Texas to collect what she inherited from her mothers death which was $76,000. Her whole family knew about the amount and most of them were drug dealers. Got her into smoking speed. One thing led to another and she disappeared from me. Was the first girl I ever loved in my life.

I have to ask. Why do some Youtube users disable embedding? Embedding does not reduce hits. Views of embedded vids still count toward the total number of hits. I just don't see any logical reason to disable embedding, regardless of whether or not the content belongs to the poster.

I understand this song so well. Jim's words feel like mine. I went through this with my ex-boyfriend, who I was with for about three years. We still love each other - but I hardly recognize him when he's strung out on coke. I miss the person I know he is, the person I fell in love with. "I wish that you could see the stranger next to me - you're sorry, you swear it, you're done, but I can't tell you from the drugs." I couldn't have said it better.
