I'm on a mission
I made my decision
To lead a path of self destruction
A slow progression
Killing my complexion
And it's rotting out my teeth
I'm on a roll
No self control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Don't know what I want
That's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face
Every hour my blood is turning sour
And my pulse is beating out of time
I found a treasure
filled with sick pleasure
And it sits on a thick white line
I'm on a roll
No self control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Don't know what I want
That's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face
I'm on a mission
I've got no decision
Like a cripple running the rat race
Wish in one hand shit in the other
And see which one gets filled first
I'm on a roll
No self control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Don't know what I want
That's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face
I made my decision
To lead a path of self destruction
A slow progression
Killing my complexion
And it's rotting out my teeth
I'm on a roll
No self control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Don't know what I want
That's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face
Every hour my blood is turning sour
And my pulse is beating out of time
I found a treasure
filled with sick pleasure
And it sits on a thick white line
I'm on a roll
No self control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Don't know what I want
That's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face
I'm on a mission
I've got no decision
Like a cripple running the rat race
Wish in one hand shit in the other
And see which one gets filled first
I'm on a roll
No self control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Don't know what I want
That's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face

Sorry if someone already pointed this out. Didn't feel like searching through 50 comments...
the line: "I'm blowing off steam,With methamphetamine" makes it kinda obvious though
But it's a song that's neither for or against the use of drugs.
it tells about crappy things that happens to the people using it "it's rotting out my teeth" "I'm picking scabs off my face" and
"Lead a path of self-destruction"
but it also says that it's hard for the guy "Well don't know what I want
And it's all that I got"
The drug has taken over you and now calls the shots, but it does help you get through unwanted emotions initially. You don't have an answer to replace the drugs with something else in your life by means of self medicating so you continue your drug abuse. You're skin get's worse as you pick at it, and possibly even ingest the scabs.
You're officially addicted and have no choice but to co-exist in life with Methamphetamine, creating problems due to drug use and using irrational thinking to solve them.
I mean, just chemicals and shit in general.
"I made my decision
Lead a path of self-destruction
"It's like...when you tell yourself you're going to quit something cause you know it's bad for you, but then...you realize- you're probably better off with it.
"I'm on a roll
No self-control
I'm blowing off steam
With meth-amphetamine"
ON A ROLL- meaning, momentum...meaning, what he's doing then...is feelin' good. It might be bad, but he's got no control to stop it (but the attitude of this song makes it seem like he just doesn't fucking WANT to stop it)
the rest of the song just fits in with all that...
I seriously think it's about drugs.
it makes me energy, helps me when i'm down...it's fantastic!!
and as far as i can tell, billie joe said that now they use drug no more...i'm really happy for him!
Anybody got any more?
I am trying to make a list.
