Falling In Reverse – The Drug In Me Is You

• 0
  Song Meaning:Guuuuys. Ronnie specifically stated in an interview that this song was about his experience in prison, and his realization that he had become his own worst enemy with his drug use. A girl had nothing to do with the lyrics when he wrote them. You can interpret the song any way you like, I'm not saying you can't. But as far as what RONNIE meant when he wrote it, there wasn't any thing to do with a girl.

  Song Meaning:He was addicted to drugs right? I think he was just singing about how he almost died because of the drugs and he's surprised he lived through it.

  General Comment:Ronnie said in a recent interview that it's about him looking into a mirror and saying all of these things to himself.

  My Interpretation:I think it's just about how a guy likes a girl and shit. If it was about prison, why would the song be titled,"The drug in me is you?" Maybe the music video was just making it about prison because he was just in prison or what not.

    Ronnie was addicted to narcotics (Heroin and Oxy, mostly) and spent about two and a half years in prison for it. He said in an interview that the song was him saying all this to himself, that he's become his own worst enemy with all the drug use and such.

    Edit: His sentence was actually for violating his probation. The drug use was part of the violation.

  My Interpretation:this song basicaly means from what i get from it is that when he says the drug in me is you i think hes talking about a girl since theres a girl in the video and when he says 'im so high on misery' hes sad that his girl is not in his life

  General Comment:I think this song is definitely about his experiences in prison. I think you guys are half right. The lines about the coffin and the dice make me feel like he had to man up in prison and expect trouble and he felt like he was facing death, but i also think, from the video and the lyrics that maybe there was a girl that helped him and was there for him and loved him, but couldn't help him. So he had to help himself and maybe change, he was running from his past and hopes it doesn't catch up with him. Maybe It's just about making a fresh start and putting it behind him.

  My Interpretation:Though I think Ronnie intended for this song to be about his experience in prison, I have interpreted it in a different way.
  This song may be about a girl who he's in love with, but she's unknowingly hurting him (whether it's not answering calls, not seeing him often, etc.). She's like a drug to him- when he's with her, he feels amazing and great, but when he's not with her it's like their relationship is falling apart. This drives him to want to kill himself, because he doesn't want to leave her, but it hurts him too much to stay with her. He questions why he has to be making this decision. He's trying to run from his past with her and start again, but he loves her too much to go. In the end, the girl realizes that she's hurting him and tries to apologize, but it's already too late. He's lost his mind, and tries to kill himself.

  General Comment:I think the song is about ronnie's experience in prison. Not just based on the video, but also on an interview from las Vegas weekly that was given while Ronnie was in prison. He mentions in the interview that he faced death everywhere he turned in prison, and you really had to man up. This is explained in the first few lines. Especially the line, "everywhere I go I drag this coffin just in case." as for "snake eyes everytime you roll with crooked dice." is he couldnt get away with having to go to jail at all. The darkness he talks about may be prison, or it could be his past that haunts over him. He runs from his past as in the drugs and the fight. He talks about how he lost himself and his mind in the drugs and he's trying to get out of it. And he stated in the interview that he didn't deserve to be in jail, but he deserved to be there for karmic purposes for what he's done in his past. "i can't believe I'm actually meant to be here."
