I always liked that K's Choice; "Not an Addict" because it came out when I was hitting my stride as a go for broke junkie.
Than that SOAD "She's Like Heroin" I THINK should be attributed to LA's mad men, The Gun Club in the early 80's but I could be wrong.
I don't know that it is dope realted so much but it reminds me of thise days; "Smells like Sex and Candy" by Marcy Playground.
Drugs and drug use references are all though pop music for so long. It should be considered a musical genre.
Aren't those first years of serious drug use like the beginning of a great love affair with the intense, can do no wrong early days , the set bliss going all the way to the painful breakup? In South Florida I copped every day after work an doften early before work and as soon as that warm glow enveloped me seconds after pushing the plunger home I often "said "Hello old friend. I've missed you today."

You mean the "She's like Heroin to me, she cannot miss a vein."? Yep, I've heard it before, but the songs are unrelated near as I can tell. Completely different lyrics. The System of a Down song is really weird, a person could interpret it to be about transgenders as well as Heroin itself. It's just one of my personal faves, that's all.

Such a great version. There's one line in the song, "hot metal and methedrine."
So I guess that's enough to make it on this list.
Oh, and "Sue" by Brian Jonestown Massacre - about a junkie chick.
I'll even put the video in here so y'all don't have nary an excuse to not listen to the song.
Oh oh, and "Totally Wired" by The Fall
This song captures the essence of amphetamines if any does, this one does.
You don't have to be weird to be wired.
You don't have to be strange to be strangled.
When the goin' gets weird, the weird go pro.

Nico - Chelsea Girls (also the Velvet Undeground, obviously)
Bright Eyes - Spent On Rainy Days
Perfume Genius - AWOL Marine (not about needles, but it's about a guy going gay for pay to buy drugs for his wife)
Cat Power - Lived In Bars
There are so many, but those are a few that come to mind.

Nutshell is one of my favorite from unplugged, their all good but nutshell was very hard to watch. Definitely hit close to home with him.
I had the pleasure of being
In Layne Staley's presence ~10 times
Hey used to party in New Orleans
And back in those days
Hero1 was the dude to contact
If you wanted to party in New Orleans
I REALLY HATED using ANY of his songs
In this thread
B/c he was SO MUCH MORE THAN AN ADDICT
He was a true artist thru and thru
Have you ever seen any of his ink drawings?
Or listened to Mad Season- Above?
He wrote that whole album

Is this what you wanted?
Did you even think twice?
Didn't they tell you that anything that feels this good
Comes with a price
It gave you such a rush
Now you think you've had enough
It's not that easy to walk away
This is the hard stuff
You can't get the genie back in the bottle
You can't get the genie back in the bottle
You can't get the genie back in the bottle
You can't get the genie back in the bottle
And everything matters, everything matters
Every little thing you do
That smoldering tingle under your skin
That sweet, delicious, but not-so-original sin
And when the world becomes too little or too much
The shadow mind contrives
The triumph and the tragedy that we invite into our lives
And Adam glanced back at the tree
As he was leaving
Said, ¡°Baby, that's the price we pay
Knowing is grieving
(chorus)
And the past comes back to smack you around
For all the things you thought you got for free
For the arrogance to think that you could somehow
Defy the laws of gravity
These are lessons in humility
Penitence for past offenses
Consequences, consequences
(chorus)

He was referred to as 'can't tell' Cantrell b/c you could never tell what kind of mood he was going to be in. Nor could you ever tell if he would play Layne's "friend" or be his natural dick self.
I also think it was a douche move for him to sue Layne's Mom for the rights to the name Alice in Chains (Layne thought of that name, Jerry wanted to call it Alice n Chains) only so he could replace the singer. I'm sorry but you can replace a guitar player but there is no way you can replace Layne's voice.
Some of these things I know from Layne himself.
Think about the line "New Orleans gotta get, pin cushion, medicine"
Where do you think that line came from?
I'm not gonna use this thread for stories about Layne
(Wow this is the first time in the history of opiophile or this site that I have postd like this)
Google AIC HEADBANGERS BALL NEW ORLEANS CEMETARY
That happens to be the cemetary that hero's grandma is burried in
Jerry claims to love Layne and goes on and on about how they were brothers which is bullshit. Layne hated Jerry. For a very good reason. Layne actually wrote most of those songs but when Jerry was running back and forth to Susan he convinced her to give him writing credit b/c if Layne were to get ALL that money he'd just kill himself (which is how he convinced columbia and Susan)
hero asked me not to go into it anymore b/c he knew Layne for quite sometime.

Interesting...thanks for the insight though very cool! Seems fucked up though as I never heard of that side of Jerry before nor have I really looked though. One more question if at all possible? Did you guys know Demri Parrott and see first hand their relationship or was that before you guys linked up? Understand if you guys don't want to answer but cool stuff non the less....slightlyyy jealous!!
Layne only brought Demri to New Orleans two or three times
A lot of people don't know that side of Jerry
But I heard it from Layne
So I'm sure none of that shit is on the interweb

Tilling my own grave to keep me level
Jam another dragon down the hole
Digging to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren
One that pushes me along and leaves me so
Desperate and ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless over you
Someone feed the monkey while I dig in search of China
White as Dracula as I approach the bottom
Desperate and ravenous
So weak and powerless over you
Little angel go away
Come again some other day
The devil has my ear today
I'll never hear a word you say
He promised I would find a little solace
And some peace of mind
Whatever, just as long as I don't feel so
Desperate and ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless over you
Desperate and ravenous
So weak and powerless over you

For real? Nobody has Mentioned the Velvet Underground yet? Gotta believe I missed it, but I don't want to short-change folks dipping their toes in the water. There's a rich history of this life portrayed in rock & roll and imho it starts with the Velvets & never comes close to being topped.
Dead Flowers (Townes Van Zant and/or Stones) is up there too.
One of the first few posts mentioned a song "She's like Heroin." Is that a cover of The Gun Club's "She's Like Heroin (to Me)?" Other than that song there's really no drug references but the whole album ("Fire of Love") is soaked in opium through and through.
Sort of an inside joke, but the "Desperate Teenage LoveDolls" soundtrack was in constant rotation in the first couple years of my opiate romance. It's a brilliant pop-soaked pre-postpunk classic (does that make sense? as in a few years ahead of...) and gets, along with Redd Kross who put the cheap flick & great soundtrack together, no credit ever. "Hey, thanks for killing my Mom."

Frustrated and ya shoot it up my way

Love the way ya scream and cheat and beat your guitar
Everybody says you've taken it too far
Well
Frustrated baby I'm gonna move on you
Frustrated honey and I know what'cha do
I see your face nearly every day
All you hippies can fade away
Double trouble for Mad Dog Colonel
Philadelphia and you do the stroll
Seen ya in your alley Mustang Sally
Take you home and they shoot you up
Well
Frustrated baby I'm gonna move on you
Frustrated honey and I know what'cha do
I see your face nearly every day
All you hippies can fade away

"Can't you see? A butterfly stomach ground-ground. I drank a jar of coffee and then I took some of these.... And I'm totally wired. I'm totally biased. I'm irate -- peeved. I'm irate -- bad state, bad state, cause I'm totally wired. And I'm always worried. And I'm always worried. "
Spacemen 3 had some good ones for the opiate/downer experience -- "Call The Doctor" for that supra-nod/sub-OD experience, and "Feel So Good" for that, well, feeling so good experience, come to mind.
Jesus and Mary Chain have the reputation as an heroin band, while to me they had a lot of very "uppers" type music (and I know the band members went through a lot more amphetamine and alcohol in their heyday than anything else). But I'd say "Taste Of Cindy" is one of the great modern songs to accompany a coke binge, and "Some Candy Talking" likewise for opiates...even "Head On" (covered soon after by the Pixies) captures the experience: taking yourself to the dirty part of town where all your problems can/can't be found, after which the world could die in pain and you wouldn't feel any shame...

Leftover Crack-Heroin or Suicide
Hey see you know what I, I know what I dont
You promise you promise and I know you won't
The problems and pressures we face everyday
Are sometimes more like but always on display
It breaks in your ears it aches in your bones and brings you to tears
With various incisions you load another bullet
Your shootin' with precision
I'm talented with atrophy yea i do it well
you know I'd like to take a break from suffering in hell
Squattin' is the excuse is I frequently abuse
Either way I hold the chain im gonna need a noose cause PAIN!!!!!!!!
Sweats on my skin, sick with bad memories and burns for my sin PAIN!!!!!!!
To cough with each breath
The only solution is the sweet taste of death!
Don't mistake the demeanor
My kindness and weakness
I'll burn you with reality
While you cry to your Jesus
You're suffocating in a tomb
You're choking in an empty room
You're empty life thats ending soon
Completely spells your doom
I made a choice deep inside
heroin or suicide?
sickness praised in times of need
we waste away from hands of greed
Jesus nailed to wooded T's
cannot compete with my disease
humanity the weak condition
my soul is sick from my decision

You mentioned the word "hymn," so I have to make a suggestion that's likely unexpected. Pop singers that can fuckin belt it out are my guilty pleasure, so I fuckin love Sia. When I'm at my most hopeless moments: dopesick, no money, no dope, dealing with the aftermath with a binge, trying to come down off a days/weeks long speed bender, etc. etc. It doesn't specifically mention addiction, but Sia did struggle with some form of it at one point so maybe she was being vague. (Maybe I'm just a junkie who relates every song I hear to dope). This tune really inspires me:
Quote
Sia - Soon We'll Be Found
Come along it is the break of day
Surely now, you'll have some things to say
It's not the time for telling tales on me
So come along, it wont be long
'Til we return happy
Shut your eyes, there are no lies
In this world we call sleep
Let's desert this day of hurt
Tomorrow we'll be free
Let's not fight I'm tired can't we just sleep tonight
Don't turn away it's just there's nothing left here to say
Turn around I know we're lost but soon we'll be found
Well it's been rough but we'll be just fine
Work it out yeah we'll survive
You mustn't let a few bad times dictate
So come along, it wont be long
'Til we return happy
Shut your eyes, there are no lies
In this world we call sleep
Let's desert this day of work
Tomorrow we'll be free
Let's not fight I'm tired can't we just sleep tonight
Don't turn away it's just there's nothing left here to say
Turn around I know we're lost but soon we'll be found

People you've been before that you
Don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
Drink up, baby, look at the stars
I'll kiss you again, between the bars
Where I'm seeing you there, with your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught
Drink up one more time and I'll make you mine
Keep you apart, deep in my heart
separate from the rest, where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot

Don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will

... and anything else of his. Just be sure to keep in mind as you listen to his heartbreakingly downtrodden voice that he wanted to die so badly that he stabbed himself in the heart with a fucking STEAK KNIFE.

And many other songs by SP, pre 1995...before their keyboardist Dwayne Goettel (aka aDuck...may he RiP) died of a Heroin OD. Nivek Ogre, cEvin Key and Dwayne all had their run with Heroin...supposedly thanks to Al Jorgensen of Ministry introducing it to them in the mid 80's...as the story goes.
I can't be the only Skinny Puppy fan around...right?

You buy some for your sister and you take yours off the top
Run into the bathroom, fixing up a shot
Tie it up, shoot it up, bang your head and throw it up
Too much junkie business
Too much junkie business
Too much junkie business
I don't wanna fuck around with you
Your life becomes as sickening as that mess you call your face
The pig you call your girlfriend is dead from shooting mace
Climbing up the walls, you're shooting old moth balls
Wrap it up, call it art, now your record makes the chart
Too much junkie business

Too much junk, too much junk
Too much junk, too much junk
Too much junk, too much junk
I don't wanna see her hanging out with you
Well you're the coolest thing in town, with your face right on the ground
Friends went through your pockets as the coffin went down
You overdosed at last, spike stuck in your head
Now you're dead! dead! dead! dead!
