Lyric discussion by o m f g its leti 

i think this song is basically about a man's love for cocaine ('her') and her love for heroin ('black', as in black tar).

"And I tread a troubled track, my arms are stacked I go back to black"

i'm not sure what to make of this, but i think it's significant. her arms stacked...does this mean shooting up? stacked with tattoos to cover her track marks...? (has anyone noticed that when miss winehouse looked more healthy & voluptuous she had very few tattoos, and now that she looks so unhealthy and skinny she almost has full sleeves?)

"you go back to her and i go back to black" her = cocaine, as already described

so...not sure if this means the two drugs drove them apart, if his drug use brought her to her own demise with heroin, or what just my thoughts.

@o m f g its leti Her "odds" are stacked, not "arms". but I still think your pretty spot on, she was probably more of an alcoholic, pothead and heroin preference of downers. Basically at odds with the uppers her lover preferred.
