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 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

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

There's nothing wrong with me
I am not the problem

You are the problem


There's something wrong with me
But I am also part of the problem


I hope your stepson doesn't eat the fish
I hope your family doesn't suffer from our addiction


When we're crying for our next fix
Our addiction takes over and we become helpless

Violence doesn't change the way we feel


Gonorrhea Gorgonzola
We are consumed and corrupted by our addiction and desire


Single files of clean feedings
Our addiction creates a sense of order in our lives, even if it is destructive


I can't see your soul soul through your eyes
Our addiction blinds us from seeing each other's true selves


The crying walls of sliding architecture
Our surroundings and environment may be deteriorating as a result of our addiction


Kidnapped by the likes of pure conjecture
Our addiction has taken us hostage and we are at the mercy of our own speculation and paranoia


Upholstery loving men all dwelling in the wells
Our addiction has brought us together, but we are consumed by it and have lost our individuality


Wrong with you and I
Our addiction affects everyone involved, not just ourselves


Don't eat the fish
A plea to not let our addiction harm innocent parties
