I love that they have personified heroin as a woman. It is such a bittersweet and beautifully ugly addiction. Every single lyric is spot on. It describes perfectly the relationship you end up having with the drug, not being able to get away from it because of the withdrawals, and often times not even wanting to get away from it. Her finger tips marking your skin from injections, her perfume being the smell of it burning, going down that road again getting more even if you dont want to because you need it, bones caving in is how the withdrawals feel, wishing you well for the night... those few hits that keep you ok until tomorrow. Until she comes again, to embrace you in her toxic love. Every single line, dead on. Shes in my life again: relapsing and boom shes back again after you had gotten away. But she wont ever win: you constantly tell yourself that you will get off... someday, somehow you wont let her win. You wont let her consume you... you hope. It gives me goose bumps. It is terrible, but there is a reason people get addicted to it. Heroin is a beautiful seductive temptress that will keep you crawling back to her. She will steal your faith, and you wont even care, as long as you have her. As long as she holds you warmly and lovingly, she will be all that matters. It's a taboo love story. She is heroin, and he loves her. Trust me. I know her all too well, and she has me now, my friends. Run from her, before she has you too. (This is just my opinion, and how I choose to see and relate to the song. Even if its actually about a woman, if you have been through this addiction you would understand why I see it the way I do. Just look at other commenters that have been addicted. Its surreal, terrifying, and powerful!)
I’m glad you were able to move forward. I hope you can keep going on your journey. My brother wasn’t so lucky. I’m happy and relieved for anyone making progress.
I honestly feel like anybody who loves this band is just the crowd I want to be around. Misfits and just people who feel like this in general. Be my friend. Love grunge🖤
yeah has a late 90s early 2000s sound i even just thought this a minute ago then saw your comment.. the voice sounds like a few singers who sang in the 90s
About 3 months I was sitting in a dirty motel room, with needles strewn around me, a needle in my arm listening to this song, crying. I got arrested shortly after. Now I'm sitting, sober, about to head into rehab, listening to this song. For anyone that's out there struggling with addiction still, don't give up. Don't let her win. It's taken me 5 years and a lot of pain and suffering of not only myself but the people around me, to let her go but it's possible. I will have to make a choice everyday for the rest of my life to not choose heroin , to not let her in my veins again. Don't let her win.
Keep it up man, you're doing great! I'm not on H, but opiates have had a strong hold on me for five years now. Even after detoxing, staying sober makes me feel like I've lost the "love of my life" and I always end up going back to her. It'll be hard for you buddy but going back just isint worth. I'm miserable without them but im still miserable when im high, and that's no way to live. Keep going strong brother, your reward will be better than any high you've ever chased!
Your comment made me tear up, which speaks volumes about how hard this hit me... I've been too numb and empty because of heroin to shed a single tear I'm months - even for the 2 friends I lost this week to an OD. I am currently alone in a hotel room, needles all around me, tv in the background just to fill the mocking silence of solitude. I am going to detox on Friday, and I have never chosen to get sober on my own. I've always been forced by courts or family, but this time, for the first time - I just want something different for my life and future. Congratulations on your recovery, I spent 2 years in rehab and was the happiest I had ever been. It's not going to be easy, but I promise it'll be worth it. Patience, tolerance, and acceptance...don't forget it.
@@steelman46 awesome name... Go Steelers.... Good taste in footbl teams and good taste in music from what I can tell... Seriously try the band Welles listen these songs "Codeine", "Rock and Roll", "9.8"..... The whole album rocks
I felt that same way about highly suspect when I heard Lydia on the radio. I was like damn what a sound! Mr. Asylum was a killer album. Then came a boy died wolf came out and they started the whole social justice warrior bullshit with more of a pop feel. Good music comes from pain and passion. Once an artist sells out and starts sounding like everyone else (R.I.P Bring Me The Horizon) they lose their musical individuality that made them In the first place. I'm excited and terrified for the new tool album. They better had stuck to their fucking roots.
@@harrisongeorge3724 I agree allot artist end up sucking after their first couple albums..Shinedowns first 2 albums where kick ass, then they made some commerical shit. Hell even Nicklebacks 1st album was good old fashioned rock and their second album wasn't horrible then after that it went to shit. 3days grace 1st album had songs like Home and I hate everything about you, that album kicked ass then they wrote some gay ass emo sounding stuff. So many bands forget that they are rockers and turn into commercial pop driven by radio play and album sales. As far as tool new album I have no fear I just don't see how a band that talented could put out anything less than amazing, and at the very least, there will be some incredible drums and killer bass lines
The first time I heard this.. Chills all over my body and bawling my eyes out. If you dont understand .. Consider yourself lucky, but to those who do.. We can do this.
Battling her now... well will be soon. Right now she's keeping me warm, embracing me in hertoxic love. But she always leaves. The panic will come soon. She's got me.
I’m watching my best friend who’s just had heart surgery (8/4/2022) due to An blood nfection brought on by using…even though I’m looking at multiple years in prison and the lose of every worldly posestoon yet I still continue. What’s wrong with me
i heard this for the first time and it made me cry. it put me back in a bad place when i was screwing up. it reminded me where i came from and who i was and who i dont wanna be again. powerful feeling. powerful song
I'm sorry it effecting you like that. A lot of other songs do that to me! Lol so.. I'm a recovering heroin addict but I kinda slipped up last month. I felt and still feel so ashamed. But it was only once but still.... But now the song is not about heroin to me. I use the song as..well to me it's about me and this guy that has me addicted to him like heroin. And he is crazy about me. And said I'm like dope. Lol. And we see each other just in the night so it's very fucking fitting. He makes me do good but bad things. So he is my drug, sorry just feeling all crazy in love. Can't help to shout out how I'm feeling right now, I kno nobody gives a fuck! 😽
I absolutely love the metaphor here. I'm not sure if it's saying his love for the subject is as addictive as heroin, or he is comparing heroin use to being in love with someone - I guess it really works both ways, dunnit - but it's absolutely genius. One piece of evidence indicative of heroin being the actual subject - besides the title - is the line, "she marks her fingerprints in my skin," which could well indicate that he is referring to the marks left by needles in heroin users. Either way, the song is absolutely amazing.
Heroin makes you feel good and numb no pain for the moment when its in your veins, just like love and the good moments that come with it. But also love can be toxic and addicting and keeps you coming back just like heroin. Just like any drug you can die from i put love in the same category.
Addicted like heroin ;) I agree, this song is powerful and I can't stop listening. It hits home, and to me is so bittersweet. Beautiful, but so toxic. Seductive, but so deadly. Controlling, yet sets you free from the world. If only for the night ;)
A year later and I find myself back in her fading luke warm embrace. Chills roll up my arms and down my back as I struggle to write this when my body aches for another hit of her love. The room is cold.. my mind is frozen, locked on only her. The only thoughts that manage to escape her emprisoning gaze are fleeting. Barely thoughts at all. Merely expressions of my soul crying out through a muffling veil and the meaning is all that is caught. Like seeing emotion on someone's face and knowing what they feel. Not hearing them, but seeing them because you've felt that before and you recognize the look. The crushing weight of guilt and of sacrifice. And back again to "this room shouldn't be this cold... why am I so cold..." and then I feel her... like a geyser of heat she envelops me. The world washes away like a wave rolling back into the abyss and her and I are all that remain. Alone, embraced in each other. The chatter and rush of the world is replaced with stillness and silence. Its quiet I think to myself. As her fingers tickle my skin and the hairs stand on end. "Forget the world my love, come with me" she whispers in my ear, "I will hold you and keep you warm through the night". But I know her. I know she speaks a lie. But in the moment I let myself believe her. And nothing matters but the heat she blankets my soul in. Silence. A still shower of hot steam and relaxation. Washing the dirt of the day away. Silence. And I lay there. Suspended in her. Then.. sound. Cold awaits me at the edge of the shadows. And as the flame of her burns down like the wick of a candle, growing dimmer with every passing moment, the cold gets closer. The shadow grows nearer... the search for my love returns. The haze and rush of the world slowly comes back growing louder just as the candle grows dimmer. I will find her. I must. My love is all that can save me now. Tick. Tock.... tick tock.... until she comes again.
Couldn't take the enslavement of heroin I switched to Fetty while it's far deadlier I can function as a human being as long as I don't over do it...its not the first thing I think about when I wake nor the last thing I think about if I go to sleep symbolically killed off the pieces of me I didn't like now I'm still struggling to get clean but I can look myself in the mirror and be cool with the guy looking back at me proud of anyone that makes it off that shit she's a cruel goddess for sure
This is the most beautiful poem I’ve ever read. It’s honestly so meaningful, I understand every single line so intensely and feel your pain. You are not alone with this. I’m here too. ❤
That's what I felt when I heard this song last year. It was raining and we had a tornado warning when I heard this for the first time. It has stuck since but didnt know who sung this.
I feel like this guy stopped doing heroin just long enough to record this song. I hear the real emotion and pain that many of us have felt when he's shouting, "and I can't - let - her - GO!"
I went through a very toxic bittersweet relationship that lasted almost 3 years and this makes me think of them. They were my addiction as unhealthy and toxic as it was. My cherry wine
This has become one of my favorite songs, the group kicks ass, in 5 years in recovery and the song reminds me of the once dark place I was in and how easily I could become that girl again if I dont continue on my journey moving forward and make knew memorys and life changes, I really get this song and their song ghost also ..I relate better to life experiences. So thank you
Best of luck to you both. It is an ongoing battle. I hope this message finds you both still in recovery! I am 4 months sober and it feels like it has been years. Everything gets better with time. Never be afraid to reach out to someone if you need help. That was the hardest thing I had to learn.
Nina Cooper you're beautiful sweetie please don't harm yourself. I struggle with some of the same feelings and I know it's hard but once you take that final drastic step there is no going back.
This song perfectly explain my relationship with heroin... yes im an active IV drug user, previously had 6 years clean up until my life slowly crumpled.. i feel the ache, pain, lust and love the lyrics convey through the music. Heroin is the only thing I've loved that has Always been there for me and still comforts my cold heart, eceryone else has only tore my heart apart.. thanks for the song and the erie similarity it has with my my own life.
Honestly i don't struggle with drug addiction but as I'm getting clean from sh i honestly feel a LOT of the lyrics from songs like this in my bones, it sucks but it's strangely comforting.
they are on tour with Nothing more and palisades, just saw them at Rock allegiance if it wasn't for that venue adding them on honestly I wouldn't know about them trust me they are getting big.
For me the song perfectly describes my addiction, but to a girl. She was my heroin, and I’d quit her so many times, only to either go back to her or let her back into my life. It was the definition of toxic. Eventually I wished her well, and this time she didn’t come back and I never saw her again.
Just heard this in the radio, and I HAD to know what it was... I had to search for an hour to find this and finally I found it! It's such a nice song with that 90's grunge feel to it
lyrics: She's in my head agin She knows where I have been I'm going down that road again Mmm, mmm, mmm Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha Ah-ha, ah-ha She's in my bed again She marks her fingerprints In my skin I breathe her perfume in And it burns like heroin Now she's in me And I can't let her go And my bones are caving in And she stole my faith again And I wish you well Oh, for the night 'Til you come again She's in my veins again But she knows that I'll bleed her out Before I wake Exhale her oxygen She burns like heroin Now she's in me And I can't let her go And my bones are caving in Oh…
This song is very powerful and deep meaning. I'm in recovery and have been off heroin and needles for 2.5 yrs and everyday is a struggle . This song is so fucking good and has the 90s sound I grew up with. I love it
Absolutely brilliant song weather you fall in the actual heroin addiction or about a girl. Addiction is addiction weather it’s drugs or a person. Both powerful and this song captures it. The highs and lows. Personified.
The atmosphere of this song is so thick with depression and despair that it actually makes me feel like there's this big weight on my shoulders. What a song...songs that make you feel this strongly don't grow on trees
She's in my head agin She knows where I have been I'm going down that road again Mmm, mmm, mmm Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha Ah-ha, ah-ha She's in my bed again She marks her fingerprints In my skin I breathe her perfume in And it burns like heroin Now she's in me And I can't let her go And my bones are caving in And she stole my faith again And I wish you well Oh, for the night 'Til you come again She's in my veins again But she knows that I'll bleed her out Before I wake Exhale her oxygen She burns like heroin Now she's in me And I can't let her go And my bones are caving in Oh… you thought
I have a problem that I just want to let go within myself, I face so many demonds . I come to this song that hits so many emotions. I think of my mom before I want to leave every time. and my brothers. I dont want to leave the 4 behind, but we have delt with the shitty hand all our lives that I just come to this song for the pain that I have been thru . these words i write i dont even know what i truly feel anymore
Dam i love this song I was addicted to coke for 8 years on and off now I’m sober for 4 months 110 Days? Not exactly sure but I will never go back down to that road again I’ve done Heroin to but coke was my Go 2 Drug
My father finally got clean after I found him over dosed in our bathroom. Still get tears in my eyes thinking about the unimaginable pain he went through. I hope everyone struggling that reads this knows they can get cleaned up. My dad was on heroin and other drugs for about a decade. Kratom is a great way to get off it tho. They sell kratom at any vape store. Kratom makes heroin withdrawal completely unnoticeable which is how my dad got off his decade long binge.
I havnt had any heroin in 17 days and I love how this song poetically paints a nasty picture of the relms of heroin addiciton and I will never look back Also great recovery song I am getting a Tat of a lighthouse that says hope not dope
The fact that this song can be comprehended as heroin being personified as that love hate relationship and can also be used as a way to compare that love hate relationship to heroin
Man I was never addicted to something but someone and this reminded me alot of her the dependency of her. I met someone new just like her and I'm afraid I will become addicted again and will ruin our relationship but she makes me feel better.
Gosh, does anyone else ever just get to a place where they feel like their pain--and the pain of the whole world, all the crap that goes on--like it's all just way too much and too heavy and it's crushing you and you can't deal with it; and you don't want to deal with it anymore, and yet there's no way out? No? Just me? Ok then, yeah, I knew that anyway.
Ya know. I can understand this from a few different perspectives but the one that sticks out most is an ex that you'll drop anyone for. We all have that one. My ex came back into my life and after how things ended, she's like heroin in my life. I don't need her in my life but she sticks around to the point I want her. Everything seems fine until she pops up and it's like.. an addiction. I hate this feeling more than anything in the world. The heartache, the helplessness and the craving is something that isn't natural.. but I know it can only end bad for me if I gave in to that said desire.. for fuck sake..
Oh my gosh I just found this incredible song and I didn't even know I needed this song in ny life. Yesterday I found out I'm actually dying, my liver and kidneys are beginning to slowly shut down. Yesterday I told the woman I've loved more than any other woman in my almost 32 years ( 32 years old in under three weeks ) I told her I'm going to die soon and I threw my heart at her and even though we had spent our almost whole year knowing each other flirting like love sick teenagers she chose to make my dying all about her and when I professed my complete adoration and love for her and told her that I absolutely worship the sexy gorgeous goddess of a woman she spat all over my heart. I meant legitimately nothing to her, all I was good for was to boost her freaking ego!! This beautiful song made me burst into tears all over again. I spent all day yesterday balling my eyes out, ruined my eyeliner and mascara over the fact I'll never get to watch my almost 8 year old son grow up yet all that mattered to Sharon was Sharon.
I feel I need too be the 667th comment too destroy the bad MOJO as heroin is the devil. 2 years, 2 months today. Love that the lyrics intertwine with heroin and a women with multiple different meanings within the same line as I had a toxic relationship with an addict as well and this hits home in every single second of this song...even the instrumentals
Fucking POWERFUL lyrics! Absolutely haunting and brutal! The way that heroin is personified as a woman is genius! Give these fellas a fucking award, any award, they deserve them all!
My mom used to listen to this song she's an addict and the last time I saw her It broke my heart I fear for her I don't want to lose her at 19 I watched her spiral since I was a kid sadly

Dude this has that refreshing feeling of new times for rock n roll with that heavy nostalgic 90s grunge influence
RoCkeRsByMySide yep that’s why I liked it. I don’t think literal heroin/ more like heroine..that would burn a misogynistic vein
I could not have described it any better
Anybody listened to Hero/Heroine from whatever alt/rock band that was?
I couldn't have said it better.
RoCkeRsByMySide badflowers pretty dope huh?
whoever reading this: u have a very good taste in music
Thx
Ditto 😬🖖
there should be more of these, damn
You do also
I know.
I'm normally a heavy metal guy, but this is just one of those gems you hear on the radio
Same dude. I've had it on repeat nonstop
I honestly feel like anybody who loves this band is just the crowd I want to be around. Misfits and just people who feel like this in general. Be my friend. Love grunge🖤
Down :)
Like heroin, you'll soon wish they weren't.
Consider us as friends Rhiannon :)
I feel like you'd still be reluctant to be friends anyway, and I wouldn't blame you.
This isn't grunge....grunge is dead.
*did anyone else think this song was made at least in the early 00's ? Sounds so timeless*

My Own Music, great comment. My train of thought, exactly!
Not as addictive but painful.
Heroin makes you feel good and numb no pain for the moment when its in your veins, just like love and the good moments that come with it. But also love can be toxic and addicting and keeps you coming back just like heroin. Just like any drug you can die from i put love in the same category.
This is beautiful. Instantly became my new favourite song and now I can't stop listening to it. It's like I'm addicted.
me too. heard it in the car. usually it takes me a few listens to start liking a song but i loved it instantly
Addicted like heroin ;) I agree, this song is powerful and I can't stop listening. It hits home, and to me is so bittersweet. Beautiful, but so toxic. Seductive, but so deadly. Controlling, yet sets you free from the world. If only for the night ;)

And back again to "this room shouldn't be this cold... why am I so cold..." and then I feel her... like a geyser of heat she envelops me. The world washes away like a wave rolling back into the abyss and her and I are all that remain. Alone, embraced in each other. The chatter and rush of the world is replaced with stillness and silence. Its quiet I think to myself. As her fingers tickle my skin and the hairs stand on end. "Forget the world my love, come with me" she whispers in my ear, "I will hold you and keep you warm through the night". But I know her. I know she speaks a lie. But in the moment I let myself believe her. And nothing matters but the heat she blankets my soul in. Silence. A still shower of hot steam and relaxation. Washing the dirt of the day away. Silence. And I lay there. Suspended in her. Then.. sound. Cold awaits me at the edge of the shadows. And as the flame of her burns down like the wick of a candle, growing dimmer with every passing moment, the cold gets closer. The shadow grows nearer... the search for my love returns. The haze and rush of the world slowly comes back growing louder just as the candle grows dimmer. I will find her. I must. My love is all that can save me now. Tick. Tock.... tick tock.... until she comes again.
Couldn't take the enslavement of heroin I switched to Fetty while it's far deadlier I can function as a human being as long as I don't over do it...its not the first thing I think about when I wake nor the last thing I think about if I go to sleep symbolically killed off the pieces of me I didn't like now I'm still struggling to get clean but I can look myself in the mirror and be cool with the guy looking back at me proud of anyone that makes it off that shit she's a cruel goddess for sure
This is a Great example of deep poetry! I love it and appreciate it! 😊
This is the most beautiful poem I’ve ever read. It’s honestly so meaningful, I understand every single line so intensely and feel your pain. You are not alone with this. I’m here too. ❤
I want to inject this song into my soul
What's stopping you?
Done ;)
Cant tell if its a poor choice of words or a genius choice.
a bop,
hope tiktok doesnt ruin this amazing song
If it does I'll be your fault. You put the idea out there
Con-y?
meow Don’t jinx it, buddy.
I miss the time when we never had to worry about tik tok ruining music
Everything is going to be well enough to the next level
this song makes me want to be the lead singer of an underground rock band
Big mood
But badflower is not an underground group
Follow your dreams
Badflower sound like they borrowed that Radiohead 90s vibe watch creep to know what i mean, ive absolutely missed this type of music!
same!
Listen to the band Welles
That's what I felt when I heard this song last year. It was raining and we had a tornado warning when I heard this for the first time. It has stuck since but didnt know who sung this.
This one has a weezer/soundgarden feel in parts love it
I feel like this guy stopped doing heroin just long enough to record this song. I hear the real emotion and pain that many of us have felt when he's shouting, "and I can't - let - her - GO!"
I went through a very toxic bittersweet relationship that lasted almost 3 years and this makes me think of them. They were my addiction as unhealthy and toxic as it was. My cherry wine
I love your Hozier reference. )
Almost 3 years clean from a 10 year opiate/heroin addiction. This song gives me chills, so powerful and true
good job!! im proud of you even tho i don't know you :)
I'm happy for you hope ur still off, 3 months off opioids and speed just trying to kick alcohol off my list
I needed this song. Badflower has succeeded at getting their message to their fans.
This has become one of my favorite songs, the group kicks ass, in 5 years in recovery and the song reminds me of the once dark place I was in and how easily I could become that girl again if I dont continue on my journey moving forward and make knew memorys and life changes, I really get this song and their song ghost also ..I relate better to life experiences. So thank you
Took me 10 months to find this song after hearing it on the radio tonight. So glad I did. LOVE THIS SONG!!!
So you heard it a month ago but were searching for 10 months?
@@wutang5795 this song came out in 2018.
@@wutang5795 i thought it was another band who sung this.. Thats why it took me "10 months" to find it.
I know it was just worded weird.
Just wanted you to know
This song is so real and makes me feel lucky that im in recovery. The video is so amazing too!
I'm freaking out i been clean for 2 yrs and im trippin out trying to stay clean
Best of luck to you both. It is an ongoing battle. I hope this message finds you both still in recovery! I am 4 months sober and it feels like it has been years. Everything gets better with time. Never be afraid to reach out to someone if you need help. That was the hardest thing I had to learn.
We do recover
Damn this band has me coming back everyday.
I struggle deeply with depression and suicidal ideation and this song paints the perfect picture of everything that I can’t explain.
I know what that feels...depression, self-destruction, chaos
It's my Favorite lonely pass time. Can't Wait for another episode of it.
same here! this is one of my new favorite songs!
Nina Cooper you're beautiful sweetie please don't harm yourself. I struggle with some of the same feelings and I know it's hard but once you take that final drastic step there is no going back.
Now that's what I call edgy vol. 34
This song perfectly explain my relationship with heroin... yes im an active IV drug user, previously had 6 years clean up until my life slowly crumpled.. i feel the ache, pain, lust and love the lyrics convey through the music. Heroin is the only thing I've loved that has Always been there for me and still comforts my cold heart, eceryone else has only tore my heart apart.. thanks for the song and the erie similarity it has with my my own life.
"she stole my faith again" ... I got goosebumps ...this song is DEEP.......
Honestly i don't struggle with drug addiction but as I'm getting clean from sh i honestly feel a LOT of the lyrics from songs like this in my bones, it sucks but it's strangely comforting.
Hugs ❤ I hope you’re still doing good and you stay clean!
I cant even begin to explain the way this song just creeps into my soul. Speechless... utterly speechless
Listen to Mark Lanegan if you want music to creep into your soul
One of the only new era bands that is putting good music out.
How is it possible that this band isn't more famous than they are?
This is fucking good
they are on tour with Nothing more and palisades, just saw them at Rock allegiance if it wasn't for that venue adding them on honestly I wouldn't know about them trust me they are getting big.
I been hearing this song lately on the radio, i remembered the lyrics and looked it up when i got home, Ever since I been playing this song everyday
For me the song perfectly describes my addiction, but to a girl. She was my heroin, and I’d quit her so many times, only to either go back to her or let her back into my life. It was the definition of toxic. Eventually I wished her well, and this time she didn’t come back and I never saw her again.
Dude i juss went to there an shinedown an dinosaur pile up concert today yeaaa you guys rock bad flower🤟
Duuuude same! Such a great line up! Brokenhands was such a god damn good find through it!
so good... greetings from brazil
Just heard this in the radio, and I HAD to know what it was... I had to search for an hour to find this and finally I found it! It's such a nice song with that 90's grunge feel to it
lyrics:
She's in my head agin
She knows where I have been
I'm going down that road again
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha
Ah-ha, ah-ha
She's in my bed again
She marks her fingerprints
In my skin
I breathe her perfume in
And it burns like heroin
Now she's in me
And I can't let her go
And my bones are caving in
And she stole my faith again
And I wish you well
Oh, for the night
'Til you come again
She's in my veins again
But she knows that I'll bleed her out
Before I wake
Exhale her oxygen
She burns like heroin
Now she's in me
And I can't let her go
And my bones are caving in
Oh…
I love how you can replace heroin with whatever your biggest struggle it and it still fits perfectly.
Saw this at Sonic temple this weekend, sounded just like this and was amazing!
This song is very powerful and deep meaning. I'm in recovery and have been off heroin and needles for 2.5 yrs and everyday is a struggle . This song is so fucking good and has the 90s sound I grew up with. I love it
I have to learn....TO STOP LOOKING AT COMMENTS ON UA-cam
Me every time
Why?
same
Fact
It's like a heroin addiction, not even worth the high.
Absolutely brilliant song weather you fall in the actual heroin addiction or about a girl. Addiction is addiction weather it’s drugs or a person. Both powerful and this song captures it. The highs and lows. Personified.
i cried when i heard this song for the first time its just so strong and hits you somewhere
The atmosphere of this song is so thick with depression and despair that it actually makes me feel like there's this big weight on my shoulders. What a song...songs that make you feel this strongly don't grow on trees
The only radio song i will listen to.
This. This is what music is supposed to be. Art.
God, I fucking love this song
Lyrics:
Just kidding this is a lyric video im not wasting my time writing the video
Connor L I was hoping someone was gonna do it😂
She's in my head agin
She knows where I have been
I'm going down that road again
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha
Ah-ha, ah-ha
She's in my bed again
She marks her fingerprints
In my skin
I breathe her perfume in
And it burns like heroin
Now she's in me
And I can't let her go
And my bones are caving in
And she stole my faith again
And I wish you well
Oh, for the night
'Til you come again
She's in my veins again
But she knows that I'll bleed her out
Before I wake
Exhale her oxygen
She burns like heroin
Now she's in me
And I can't let her go
And my bones are caving in
Oh…
you thought
Someone did the same thing on another video
god I love those raw emotions he puts through his vocals
Here cuz the official video is age restricted :(
Trust my buddy its for the best its messed up even by my standards and I review Ao rated games
i went to the shinedown concert recently and i didn't realized they were there and they played this song 💕💕
You're so lucky!!!!
Yes!! I went to one as well! Brokenhands was such a good fin through it in my opinion!!
I have a problem that I just want to let go within myself, I face so many demonds . I come to this song that hits so many emotions. I think of my mom before I want to leave every time. and my brothers. I dont want to leave the 4 behind, but we have delt with the shitty hand all our lives that I just come to this song for the pain that I have been thru . these words i write i dont even know what i truly feel anymore
Word! This song gave me goose bumps these guys are pretty good I just found them
Song brings back so many bad memories of my abuser/rapist but it’s one of those songs that for some reason I still like.
I love this
Dam i love this song I was addicted to coke for 8 years on and off now I’m sober for 4 months 110 Days? Not exactly sure but I will never go back down to that road again I’ve done Heroin to but coke was my Go 2 Drug
I'm so proud of you! Stay strong. 💚
Emma Claphan Thank u and u as well
This song gives me a heartache feeling but it's so addicting and I can't stop listening
I like how to me it reads as a toxic relationship it really tell how it feel and how hard it is to shed something that’s bad for you but feels so good
My father finally got clean after I found him over dosed in our bathroom. Still get tears in my eyes thinking about the unimaginable pain he went through. I hope everyone struggling that reads this knows they can get cleaned up. My dad was on heroin and other drugs for about a decade. Kratom is a great way to get off it tho. They sell kratom at any vape store. Kratom makes heroin withdrawal completely unnoticeable which is how my dad got off his decade long binge.
I havnt had any heroin in 17 days and I love how this song poetically paints a nasty picture of the relms of heroin addiciton and I will never look back Also great recovery song I am getting a Tat of a lighthouse that says hope not dope
This "Heroin" song sure is....
*addictive*
Ikr lol
I like how the words heroin and heroine are so similar

Almost 2 years off of heroin. 💜💜💜💜
The fact that this song can be comprehended as heroin being personified as that love hate relationship and can also be used as a way to compare that love hate relationship to heroin
Man I was never addicted to something but someone and this reminded me alot of her the dependency of her. I met someone new just like her and I'm afraid I will become addicted again and will ruin our relationship but she makes me feel better.
Gosh, does anyone else ever just get to a place where they feel like their pain--and the pain of the whole world, all the crap that goes on--like it's all just way too much and too heavy and it's crushing you and you can't deal with it; and you don't want to deal with it anymore, and yet there's no way out? No? Just me? Ok then, yeah, I knew that anyway.
Damn... no words
3 words actually
I love this band
Even after the third time they have officially released this song, I always come back to the original. The new ones just don’t feel the same
Lost my brother 4 years ago to a heroin od...this song hits hard for me honestly.
first time hearing this, not sure how. will definitely be listening to more by them.
Been clean for a few years, every day is still a struggle.
Ya know. I can understand this from a few different perspectives but the one that sticks out most is an ex that you'll drop anyone for. We all have that one.
My ex came back into my life and after how things ended, she's like heroin in my life. I don't need her in my life but she sticks around to the point I want her. Everything seems fine until she pops up and it's like.. an addiction. I hate this feeling more than anything in the world. The heartache, the helplessness and the craving is something that isn't natural.. but I know it can only end bad for me if I gave in to that said desire.. for fuck sake..
Oh my gosh I just found this incredible song and I didn't even know I needed this song in ny life. Yesterday I found out I'm actually dying, my liver and kidneys are beginning to slowly shut down. Yesterday I told the woman I've loved more than any other woman in my almost 32 years ( 32 years old in under three weeks ) I told her I'm going to die soon and I threw my heart at her and even though we had spent our almost whole year knowing each other flirting like love sick teenagers she chose to make my dying all about her and when I professed my complete adoration and love for her and told her that I absolutely worship the sexy gorgeous goddess of a woman she spat all over my heart. I meant legitimately nothing to her, all I was good for was to boost her freaking ego!! This beautiful song made me burst into tears all over again. I spent all day yesterday balling my eyes out, ruined my eyeliner and mascara over the fact I'll never get to watch my almost 8 year old son grow up yet all that mattered to Sharon was Sharon.
I recently had a over dose from heroin/fetynol and was in a coma for a month. I now currently in a rehabilitation program and two months sober.
👍
I literally somehow got here on accident And I don't regret it
Didnt think I would find a song I like again but I have and it's my favorite
I feel I need too be the 667th comment too destroy the bad MOJO as heroin is the devil.
2 years, 2 months today.
Love that the lyrics intertwine with heroin and a women with multiple different meanings within the same line as I had a toxic relationship with an addict as well and this hits home in every single second of this song...even the instrumentals
5 years clean yesterday. I listen to this song on a daily basis as a reminder.
I love this song
DUDE, THIS LYRIC! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK??????? BRILLIANT!
Fucking POWERFUL lyrics! Absolutely haunting and brutal! The way that heroin is personified as a woman is genius! Give these fellas a fucking award, any award, they deserve them all!
2 years clean today, song brings back good and terrible memories. Thankful I’m alive
This is absolutely amazing. PERIODT
This is such a lovely song
I'm absolutely obsessed w this song
Beautiful

Hey this is a good song, thanks for making this video. 😁
How have I not heard this before now
1 year, 3mo since last slip, 3rd year in recovery ❤️. This song is always on my playlist ❤️
My mom used to listen to this song she's an addict and the last time I saw her It broke my heart I fear for her I don't want to lose her at 19 I watched her spiral since I was a kid sadly
Sounds like Highly Suspect mixed with The Maine
Alex Hoop good one
