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.
