I heard you fell into a rabbit hole
Covered yourself up in snow
Baby, tell me, where'd you go
For days and days?
Did they make you stay up all night?
Did they paint your face that pastey white?
You're thirsty but your appetite
Gets chased away
Sun turns us to stone
It's a cloudy day
But we still can't go home
I've been out that cellar door
Until we see the moon
We're invisible
No one ever takes the garbage out
A neighbor kid gets dared to touch the house
He runs back only to announce
"There's no one home"
Because we paint the foil with the flame
Smear the soda, taste butane
For every fear that can't be named
To calm you down
Your heart starts skipping steps
So you're farther gone
Than you might expect
If your thoughts should turn to death
Gotta stomp them out
Like a cigarette
Covered yourself up in snow
Baby, tell me, where'd you go
For days and days?
Did they make you stay up all night?
Did they paint your face that pastey white?
You're thirsty but your appetite
Gets chased away
Sun turns us to stone
It's a cloudy day
But we still can't go home
I've been out that cellar door
Until we see the moon
We're invisible
No one ever takes the garbage out
A neighbor kid gets dared to touch the house
He runs back only to announce
"There's no one home"
Because we paint the foil with the flame
Smear the soda, taste butane
For every fear that can't be named
To calm you down
Your heart starts skipping steps
So you're farther gone
Than you might expect
If your thoughts should turn to death
Gotta stomp them out
Like a cigarette

This song is about Speed not Coke. The lyrics describe everything that has to do with speed. There is a part of the song copy and pasted below that describes Goof-balling which is using speed and heroin together.
"Because we paint the foil with the flame
Smear the soda, taste butane
For every fear that can't be named
To calm you down"
None the less this song is a great song with strong meaning! It relates to my life and many others.
"I heard you fell into a rabbit hole
"Covered yourself up in snow
Baby, tell me, where'd you go
For days and days?"
A rabbit hole = a drug den or when you "check out of normal society" to do drugs. Snow = cocaine. She would be gone for days and days because that's what typically happens when you "check out".
"Did they make you stay up all night?
Did they paint your face that pastey white?
You're thirsty but your appetite
Gets chased away"
Staying up all night refers to the stimulant effect of cocaine. The next two lyrics also refer to side effects of the drug, it makes you look pastey and makes you thirsty and loose sppetite.
Sun turns us to stone
It's a cloudy day
But we still can't go home
I've been out that cellar door
Until we see the moon
We're invisible
Suns turns us to stone means that the morning has come and you realize you've been up all night in the "rabbit hole" doing drugs. At that point, you're probably starting to come down, your circulation slows and you get very cold, hence "Sun turns us to stone". You "still can't go home" because you're afraid to check back in to normal society yet.
No one ever takes the garbage out
A neighbor kid gets dared to touch the house
He runs back only to announce
"There's no one home"
This refers to the run-down and desolate appearance that drug dens usually have from the outside. The house probably has overgrown hedges, etc because the people inside are pre-occupied with drugs. During the day there is minimal activity, so it would seem as though no one lived there.
Because we paint the foil with the flame
Smear the soda, taste butane
For every fear that can't be named
To calm you down
This refers to heroin use. Heroin is often cooked with a butane lighter on a piece of foil "Paint the foil with the flame/ Smear the soda taste butane" The next two lines refer to the calming effect of heroin. You can emotionally escape any fear or anxiety when under the influence of heroin, hence its appeal.
Your heart starts skipping steps
So you're farther gone
Than you might expect
If your thoughts should turn to death
Gotta stomp them out
Like a cigarette
This refers to overdose. If "your heart starts skipping steps", that is a telltale sign of overdosing. If "you're farther gone than you might expect" That means that you expected relief from the drug, but you didn't think you were going to die. Then it basically says that if you think you're going to overdose, you have to stop thinking about it so that you don't have a bad trip or so that it doesn't become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Sometimes that's what songs are, fiction. But also, sometimes they are emotionally and philosophically attached to the writer to create a first hand account.
but conor did have a coke addiction as well
i love Conor.
it sounds to me like conor stayed in a house with a few other users. the typical run down crack house/abondoned house that druggies would stay in.
the younger kids in town must think it's scary looking, so they dare eachother to go up and touch it.

i picture conor in a rundown house with his friends, using, or already high. and they can hear the kids talking and maybe come up to the door? but they don't respond or go outside, so the kid assumes that no ones home.
I started doing coke a few months ago, and today I decided, what the hell? and put on Digital Ash, and it suddenly came to me. Weird how things work.
