This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm On This Song
System of a Down Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's something wrong with you
There's something wrong with me
I hope your stepson doesn't eat the fish
When we're crying for our next fix
There's nothing wrong with me
There's something wrong with you
There's something wrong with me
I hope your stepson doesn't eat the fish
When we're crying for our next fix
Killers never hurt feelings
Killers never hurt feelings
Killers never hurt feelings
Gonorrhea, gorgonzola
Gonorrhea, gorgonzola
Single files of clean feedings
I can't see your soul, soul through your eyes
The crying walls of sliding architecture
Kidnapped by the likes of pure conjecture
Upholstery loving men all dwelling in the wells
Kidnapped by the likes of pure conjecture
Killers never hurt feelings
Killers never hurt feelings
Killers never hurt feelings
Gonorrhea, gorgonzola
Gonorrhea, gorgonzola
Single files of clean feedings
There's nothing wrong with me
There's something wrong with you
Wrong with you and I when we're crying for our next fix
There's nothing wrong with me
There's something wrong with you
Wrong with you and I when we're crying for our next fix
Killers never hurt feelings
Killers never hurt feelings
Killers never hurt feelings
Gonorrhea, gorgonzola
Gonorrhea, gorgonzola
Single files of clean feedings
Single files of clean feedings
There's nothing wrong with me
There's something wrong with you
There's something wrong with me
I hope your stepson doesn't eat the fish
There's nothing wrong with me
There's something wrong with you
There's nothing wrong with me
There's something wrong with you
There's something wrong with me
I hope your stepson doesn't eat the fish
There's nothing wrong with me
There's something wrong with you
Don't eat the fish
The lyrics to System of a Down's song This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm On This Song are filled with metaphors and a lack of clear meaning. The song appears to be about drug addiction, with lines like "When we're crying for our next fix" and "There's something wrong with me." The repetition of the phrase "killers never hurt feelings" suggests that the singer is trying to convince themselves that they are not really hurting anyone with their addiction. The lines "Gonorrhea, gorgonzola/single files of clean feedings" are confusing and could be interpreted in a few different ways. One possibility is that they are meant to be surreal images related to addiction or withdrawal. The lines "I can't see your soul, soul through your eyes/the crying walls of sliding architecture" are similarly abstract but suggest a sense of confusion or disconnect from reality.
The line "I hope your stepson doesn't eat the fish" is especially jarring and adds a sense of paranoia to the song. It is unclear what the significance of the fish is or why the singer is worried about the stepson, but it could be related to a fear of getting caught or of causing harm to others. Overall, the song is filled with disconnected and confusing images that suggest a sense of chaos and uncertainty.
