Story Behind the Song
The lyrics are slightly inspired by the Pearl Jam song "Why go?!". Or... more correctly, "Why Go?", inspired me to write Needle. It's about a friend of mine who's now lost in the world of drugs and has been for a very long time, which is very sad...
Lyrics
I saw your city, melting down
While I was watching you, run around
Picking up pieces of your ground
I have to say I’m glad I wasn’t around
You found your chamber,
your chamber of guilt
These things you put away
these things you buildt
You fought your battle, you sold your gold
Stop acting stupid, you’re growing old
I can’t recall the last time you called
You crapped your life up, now I feel small
I’ve read your papers written in mud
The footsteps smashing up, I only see blood
See your life away, No don’t hesitate
Stick that needle in your veins
And never see your face
Now it’s too late, there’s no time to debate
Will you die to be great? Will i miss your hate?
I ate your feelings, the taste of snowgray
Refueled on my brain, you ate me away
You wanted silence, down in your grave
But i heard you howling, in your slow decay
