I Like Drugs
Falling Sickness Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need a joint before my next class
But if I come in stoned they get all over my ass
Yesterday I went to school dusted
Everyone tells me that I will soon be busted
Cuz I like drugs
They get me high
I like drugs
Don't ask me why
People tell me that I'm a born loser
A fool, a disgraceful drug user
They say that I'm a lost and lowly child
When I turn 19 Just watch me run wild
Cuz I like drugs
They get me high
I like drugs




Don't ask me why
Don't ask me why

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Falling Sickness's song I Like Drugs speak to the sense of rebellion that often accompanies drug use. The singer of the song uses drugs as a way of coping with the pressures of school and life in general, but they also acknowledge that their drug use can lead to negative consequences. They need a joint before their next class, but they are also aware that if they come to class stoned, they will likely get in trouble. Despite the warnings and criticism they receive from others, the singer asserts their right to use drugs, saying "don't ask me why."


The song's chorus, "I like drugs, they get me high," reinforces the idea that drug use is a way to escape or transcend the mundane realities of everyday life. However, the repetition of the line "don't ask me why" suggests that the singer doesn't feel the need to justify their drug use to others. Instead, they embrace their reputation as a "disgraceful drug user" and look forward to a future where they can "run wild" without the constraints of society.


Overall, I Like Drugs is a song about the allure and danger of drug use, and the way that it can be both a source of comfort and a source of conflict. The lyrics touch on themes of rebellion, peer pressure, and addiction, making it a powerful statement about the complexities of drug use.
