This song is Hoon addressing his heroin addiction head-on. He’s so deep into it that even though he wants to leave, he just can’t. He also tells about how sweet it is in the high, but how awful it is in the withdrawals.
[Refrain]
I'm talkin'
I'm talkin'
I'm talkin' to myself more
[Verse 1]
Needle, fetal
Someone's pouring warm gravy all over me
And you see that synthetic therapy
Don't you know, it seems to be so unappealing
But, oh what a feeling
[Chorus]
I wish that you would stop spitting
When you're talking to me
[Verse 2]
And inside, air dry
I might want to go another way
But you see now, I'm too pale to get out
[Bridge]
Into the lovely light of day
Oh, I'll do anything that you say
Oh, I'll do anything that you say
[Chorus]
But I wish you would stop spitting
When you're talking to me
[Refrain] (x6)
I'm talking to myself more
One by one
[Solo]
Man to man
Stand to stand
Two by four
Talkin' to myself
