Cocaine
O.C.U. Lyrics

The lyrics of O.C.U.’s “Cocaine” tell a story of drug addiction and self-destruction. The first verse starts with a narcissistic self-affirmation of the singer's rockstar status, followed by a reference to a lake filled with roses, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the overindulgence and disregard for reality that accompanies drug abuse. The chorus then repeats the phrase “I’m f*cking my best friend only with the cocaine” several times, suggesting the singer is engaging in risky behavior and perhaps experiencing hallucinations and drug-induced delusions.

The second verse adds to the despairing atmosphere by referring to “shadows” that follow the singer, implying a sense of paranoia and impending doom. The line “writing the devil's note” is particularly evocative, as it suggests an obsession with evil and chaos. The final repetition of the chorus draws attention to the isolation and danger of the singer's addiction - he is completely reliant on the drug and has sacrificed all other aspects of his life.
