I read in an interview that this song was about a girlfriend with whom he had a lot of drug-related experiences. When he left her she attempted suicide, but not before writing 'My sweet prince, you are the one' on the mirror in lipstick as a farewell gesture. I'm unsure as to how true that is, but that's what I read a few years back.
its talking about not realizing what was going to happen when they all got addicted to h.. i've been using 7 years and i can sit there and cry with the damn song but i know i'm going to do my morning, and my night, or i'm going to be damned if i dont try. i hate it.. its a love hate relationship and this is another thing expressed in this song...
As a heroin addict, it's hard to talk about heroin as something dark and horrible. Hence how he says it 'fucked with his brain' It permanently changes your limbic reward system. Even when I'm clean I think back on it with rose tinted glasses
@Mikey8028 What a beautiful place, I know it exists and I wish I didn't. But I don't wish to go back anyways, It gave me life and brought me to death. I don't look at it with any envy either, I look at it with warmth and love.
@flowereia i agree. "boy" is slang for heroin (boy-prince), plus the refrence to chasing the dragon.. but i think the wonderful thing about music is how it can be interperted diffrently by many diffrent people...
@glowsticx oh my.... :O i wish the song were about love and not saying that the sweet prince is the one... :( I call my boyfriend my sweet prince, thats why I thought it was about love
@VampireAkis i dont think it praises it... to me it seems more like expressing the complicated emotions that are involved when doing or being addicted to drugs...the mood swings--- sometimes you feel on top of the world other times you just want to freaking kill yourself...it's complicated like i said!
my favourite song ever... When I listened to it for the first time, it must have been 3 in the morning or something...It touched something in me...there were tears in my eyes by the time it was over,and I hadnt even realised it
I never thought I'd either... I can defiantly feel the pain... in my stomach in my legs in my arms my neck my back my fingers. This song.. it breaks my heart.
My favourite song... brings back a lot of memories... mostly bad ones, but some good ones as well. Brian writes some of the best, deepest lyrics around. His ability to make me tear up is uncanny.
@SamiraRana imo you need to take time out to come to terms with it... if u ignore something in your mind it will go stagnant... sort it out while its not a disease.
chasing the dragon is smoking heroin, a fix is a shot (injection) of heroin, a flush is when you inject it all but draw some more to get every last drop of heroin into your bloodstream, its a lovesong and a goodbye song to heroin
I remember I read that this song was inspired in a girlfriend Brian had, who killed herself and wrote on the mirror "my sweet prince". Or something like that, but those are just rumours.
Anyway, it's an incredibly well written song, one of my favorites.
I don't know but it reminds me the Max Payne....!
