I Hate This Drug - Kill The Freak Lyrics Analysis

I Hate This Drug
Depression
Self harm
Suicide
Drugs/over dose
Mental illness

Everything is just so violent
Will my wounds ever scab?
No drug that I am taking
Could cause this pain that I am feeling
Go away
Stop feeding me these vicious lies
These thoughts have scarred my brain
I'm so close yet I feel so far away

Is everything just in my head?
I don't need any of these meds
you'll never understand my life
I always feel this pain

I hate this drug x4

Suck up air I'm breathing in
Tie the noose around my throat
Freedom,
To all the hate that I've locked up
there's no chance
the more I try the harder I fall
I know this life I've made
is all my fault

Is everything just in my head?
I don't need any of these meds
you'll never understand my life
I always feel this pain

I hate this drug x4

What happening to me?

I hate this drug x4

Narrative of the song

• Maybe a suicide note
• self harm and depression
• drugs/overdose
• internal struggle

Filming

• Lots of high angles showing the character is small and weak
• fast cuts making it seem disjointed and faced the way the character is feeling
• Crossed prosed making everything look cold

I was told by the singer the song isn't actually about drugs, the word drug is in place of feelings. The character doesn't feel in control of his feelings and is addicted to how they feel.
