Cocaine
Nazareth (Greatest Hits Vol. 2) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've got to take her out, cocaine
And if you want to get down
Down on the ground, cocaine
She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie, cocaine
You want to kick your blues, cocaine
And if your day is done
But you just got to run on, cocaine
She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie, cocaine
Feeling is gone but you just
Got to ride on, cocaine
But don't forget this fact
You just can't get it back, cocaine
She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie, cocaine
She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie, cocaine
The lyrics of Nazareth's "Cocaine" are quite self-explanatory about the power of cocaine in one's life. The chorus, "She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie, cocaine" is repeated several times and highlights the drug's ability to provide temporary escape from troubles and give a feeling of euphoria. The song describes the various situations in which people might turn to the drug, such as to cheer themselves up after bad news or to keep going even when they're feeling tired or defeated. Throughout the verses, the song likens the drug to a female presence that people must court and woo to be able to experience its effects. Overall, the lyrics convey the idea that while cocaine might provide a temporary high, it ultimately leaves the person feeling empty and unable to recapture the same feeling.

концерт начался с опозданием на 2 с лишним часа. Сразу с колес на сцену. Звук наладили сразу. Кто их дождался получил такой заряд... уже ночь на дворе, а мы их не отпускали. На столько душевно. Меня больше месяца тащило.
