Drugs
Adam Jensen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only says she loves me
When we're dropping acid
Her love is tragic
It's right in front of me
But I could never have it
Singing me silent lullabies
With her hands in my sleeves
Cinnamon skies fall at our feet
We are higher love
Searching for a rush
We don't need them but
We still take drugs
Fire in our blood
Magnets in our lungs
We don't need them but
We still take drugs
Down in the basement
Smoking clouds
And flying higher than the spacemen
Her meditation
She calls it holy
But I call it medication
She moves in black and white
Singing me silent lullabies
With her hands in my sleeves
Cinnamon skies fall at our feet
We are higher love
Searching for a rush
We don't need them but
We still take drugs
Fire in our blood
Magnets in our lungs
We don't need them but
We still take drugs
My thoughts begin to race
Like when I know
She's swimming through my veins
She moves without a trace
And leaves me with a smile on my face
We are higher love
Searching for a rush
We don't need them but
We still take drugs
Fire in our blood
Magnets in our lungs
We don't need them but
We still take drugs
Still take drugs
Still take drugs
The lyrics of Adam Jensen's song Drugs explore the complex and sometimes destructive nature of love, longing, and addiction. The refrain "We don't need them but we still take drugs" suggests a sense of compulsion and dependency that extends beyond substance abuse to relationships and other forms of escape. The description of the singer's lover as a "plastic" heart that only expresses love under the influence of drugs further emphasizes the idea that their relationship is not built on a genuine connection, but rather on a shared need for altered states of consciousness. The contrast between the "black and white" imagery and the "cinnamon skies" suggests a tension between the darkness and lightness of their experiences, as well as the emotions that accompany those experiences.
The mention of smoking clouds and "flying higher than spacemen" add to the overall ambiance of the song, which is very much focused on the experience of drug use as a means of escape. The singer's awareness of the tragic nature of the relationship is another important element, as he acknowledges that what he desires is right in front of him, but he can never truly have it. The line "She moves without a trace / And leaves me with a smile on my face" suggests a sense of fleeting joy and longing that is never fully satisfied.
Overall, Drugs is a song that explores the complex nature of love, addiction, and escape, highlighting the ways in which these things can intertwine and create powerful and often difficult emotions.
