Many more of Conor's songs are about drug abuse or at least refer to it in their lyrics. Goldmine Gutted is an example of the first, Lover I Don't Have to Love of the second. If you see alcohol as a drug (and you obviously should), probably half his songs have references in it to the abuse of mind-numbing substances (like: We Are Nowhere and it's Now). Coke/pill addiction | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/6/09 This song is definitely about either/both cocaine or pills like xanax/oxycontin/methodone/etc. I routinely did the last 3 my junior/senior year in high school and freshman year in college. I lived that life of going into the bathroom, chopping it up with a razor blade and crushing it into a powder to snort it. The story makes me lean more to pills than cocaine since the song refers to medication. Once you live that life, you can relate to the song pretty well, but for anyone who wants to live that life, its really not the life you want to live. in my opinion... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/24/09 i think this song is definitely about some kind of drug use, but it also relates to an extremely complicated relationship i am in. i can relate to this song ridiculously well... my best friend kissed me and we went down the path of friends with benefits. by the time a month had passed, i'd lost my virginity to him but none of our friends knew. we pretended like nothing ever changed when they were around, but as soon as we were alone, we inevitably fucked. he told me time and time again that he wasn't good at relationships; that he hated them. but i continued to pretend that he was a good boyfriend and not just a complicated friend. the song goes along with this so well because of these lines: "The love I sell you in the evening by the morning won't exist" and "And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live Cause what is simple in the moonlight by the morning never is It was so simple in the moonlight now it's so complicated" it almost makes me cry to see that someone else's words could fit to a situation in my life so well. i just don't know what to do. i love him. mm not bulimia | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/20/09 I think the message is definitely clear... but its not about bulimia its about coke... "i think you got it bad" is referring to the coke habit, skinny like a model is coke... eyes painted black... coke. not bulimia. they go to the bathroom to do the coke in private, they keep having to go back more frequently because of their tolerance. So the song is about partying and drugs. well | Reviewer: fhskajdsa | 5/17/09 as for interpreting songs how you like i think its wrong. sure you can to make yourself feel better but in early conor oberst songs the message is clear he's said so himself in interviews that he used to just be blunt and i think this is one of those songs. this song is not about drugs. its about partying and bulimia. love... | Reviewer: just another... | 3/13/09 this was the very first song i heard by bright eyes... it really stuck to me. i always have favorite parts to songs and in lua it has to be: I got a flask inside my pocket, we can share it on the train. And if you promise to stay conscious I will try and do the same. We might die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain. But what was normal in the evening by the morning seems insane... just for the fact i know what its like to have a night full of crazy things!!! but to tell you the truth i dont regret anything that ever made me smile or laugh or just happy... Heroin? How passe... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/12/09 Heroin? You can't be serious? First of all I can't imagine anyone ducking out to the bathroom to rack or inject heroin a few times a night... only to come back to rejoin the party again. The situation is descriptive of someone with a cocaine addiction. Conor is brutally honest about 2 people in this song. An Eddie Sedgwick type figure, skinny and probably tragically beautiful. And a man with a fierce night time persona. Both probably struggling with depression. While both medicated, both dealing with it in different ways. 1. Drugs. 2. Affirmation through meeting, sleeping with, and deserting women. At least he's honest when he say's, "you can count on me to split". I agree with the reviewer "coke". Blown Away | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/28/09 I just listened to this song for the first time and I am truely blown away. I agree with who wrote Think about it saying it being about a heroin addiction but also can be interpreted in many other different types of addiction. I agree more with it being about heroin the most though just looking at a lot of this song. Especially the part about staying conscious. and getting rid of all the pain. A big reason people start doing heroin is because they are depressed and want something to take them away from all that. Here, this part is huge... "And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did." Heroin doesn't make you feel happy. It doesn't really bring you up if you are depressed. You kind of stay at that level of depresion however you forget about all of the problems in your life and the reason you were so upset to begin with. And nothing really matters except the moment you are living. And if you happen to be with a person that you care about, the feelings you have while you are high are so much more intense then when you are sober which make sense with a lot of parts about the mornings. I could probably go on forever but I need to stop. Thats just my input. You all have very good comments too. Think about it | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/19/09 Its about drugs and his struggle to get sober I don't know if you have been to a concert but the last one I was at he was wasted I think this song is talking about heroin in particular but it also talks alcohol as well I think that close minded guy should realize there is no hidden message it is not a complex song the whole meaning is very literal and makes perfect sense close minded. | Reviewer: Kat | 1/11/09 I think everyone here is being ridiculous in saying "this means that and that means this". HELLO ! The main reason for why we all love Bright Eyes lyrics is because you can interprate them any way you want. His main goal was to have EVERYONE, differences set aside, relate to his lyrics. Anyone can relate to this. Anyways. I just think you guys should keep to yourselves and let the readers mind wander. I'm sure Conor would have wanted imagination.
