Like A Drug I Never Did Before
Ramone Joey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pressure like I never felt it before
It´s like a drug I never did before a drug I never done
A drug I never did before
A little edgy yeah I like it that way
A bit more relaxed, much better that way
Like a drug I never did before a drug I never done
It´s like a drug
It´s like a drug
It´s like a drug
Like a drug I never did before a drug I never done
A drug I never did before oh what fun
Hanging in the lobby of the Chelsea Hotel
On a wild psychedelic night, pretty wild
Like a drug I never did before a drug I never done
A drug I never did before this ain´t fun
Demons swirling in an OCD pond
My body is vibrating I am gone gone gone
The lyrics of Ramone Joey's song "Like A Drug I Never Did Before" depict the experience of an individual on a new and powerful drug. The opening lines, "My head gonna blow brains all over the floor / Pressure like I never felt it before," aptly describe the intense physical and mental sensations of the drug. The individual then goes on to describe the feeling as "a drug I never did before a drug I never done," indicating that this experience is something entirely new and unprecedented for them. The lyrics go on to highlight the pleasure and pain of the experience, with the line "A little edgy yeah I like it that way / A bit more relaxed, much better that way" hinting at the duality of the experience.
The song continues with Joey referencing the infamous Chelsea Hotel, a New York City landmark known for its storied history and bohemian origins. In this context, the reference to the Chelsea Hotel likely signifies the wild and bizarre experience of the drug, which is reinforced with the lyrics "On a wild psychedelic night, pretty wild." The lyrics then take a more ominous turn with "Demons swirling in an OCD pond / My body is vibrating I am gone gone gone," which indicates a loss of control and a descent into a potentially dangerous state.
Overall, "Like A Drug I Never Did Before" is a song that explores the exhilarating but also potentially devastating experience of a new and powerful drug.

This is a great album. The title track, stop thinking about it, venting (different world today), Maria bartiromo, like a drug I never did before and I got knocked down are all punk rock melodic gems. The other tracks are all fun though to, and work well as a single piece of auditory art from start to finish. Joey, you are missed!
