20 Dollar Nose Bleed

"There's a more in-depth reference to that in another song, but I can't think of it at the moment, it's by third eye blind"<br /> <br /> Semi-Charmed Life is about crystal meth. I don't know if that is what you were talking about, but that's the only 3eb song i can think of right now that's about drugs.

excellent. That is exactly what i was looking for. By the way is your name a scanner darkly reference?

I think the song you're thinking of is Slow Motion by Third Eye Blind:<br /> <br /> "Later bathing in the afterglow<br /> Two lines of coke I cut with Draino<br /> And her nose starts to bleed<br /> A most beautiful ruby red"

sounds like you're too smart to be sniffing crack. just my opinion.

same haha

i think they do, yanoo

@part3 i think he was referring to the 2nd Bush. 1st bush "rehearsed" war while he finished the 2nd one thinking it's a victory to bring home coffins

yeah and the 'permanent jet lag' bit?

@jax99 agree. Like the guy they're alluding to in this song is crazy. At worse, psychotic

@chewenoe agree with the Bush interpretation which could mean, they're wanting him to disappear or something along those lines

i agree completely with this! i was just coming to post the exact same thing about that verse.

me 2!! <br /> came back with flags on coffins and said<br /> we won, oh, we won<br /> <br /> if people die i dont think we won

this is right; anyone who pays attention to the FOB interviews knows that they like political references. i was actually going to post that about that verse too(:<br />

wow, i think your pretty right but i percieved it totally different!<br /> I thought it was a reference to young Prince Harry fighting in the Iraq war<br /> hence the "Man who would be king".<br />

its whose same war his dad rehearsed

@MusiccMann88 <br /> Man who would be king:<br /> The year before this song was written, Prince Harry returns from a ten year tour of Afghanistan where he killed but lost many men, but he came back saying they won, despite the fact they had sent back more coffins then men in that time. In addition, they fought in the war to gain the faith of the locals but over 22% of the casualties were civilians. They ended up leaving with more hostilities than they came with. <br /> <br /> Notably, his father Prince Charles was in the military, flying bombers practicing for a war with possibly many enemies (tensions were high with afghanistan too at that time) that never ended up happening in his time. His son would later drop bombs in the very war his father prepared for.<br /> What did prince harry do when he came back? Rather than being a diplomat he complained about how his father wanted him to act more like a prince, but instead he came after being forcibly denied another go and complained, Multiple interviews led up to that and after that where he was described as "never having a bigger smile than when he was shooting at enemies" <br /> <br /> Amphetamines played key rolls in the war, as the soldiers were suffering amphetamine addictions (such as benzadrine) <br /> <br /> 14 Carats but no clarity<br /> The 14K Triad, originally known for, you guessed it, 14 Carat gold, is a hong kong group associated with afghanistan. Back in the 1970s they owned tons of land in afghanistan and fought in a horrific and dishonorable manner, in fact if youre thinking about some of the worst tactics of the afghan war, well you guessed it, those tactics came from them.<br /> <br /> A lot of these same tactics came up during Prince Harrys term, and there we suspicions but no proof (clarity) that it was the 14K<br /> <br /> So i very highly believe that the fact all this came to light in an interview given less than a full year before this songs release, it was about Prince Harry.<br />

@MusiccMann88 this sure takes away my Bush pov

@aaron_kaump agree. I think they're referring to that kind of headache akin to a trippin high
