Slipping Into Madness is about Fentanyl, and the American “opioid epidemic”, the descent into mass opioid addiction in the past 30 years. The song is written as somewhat of a warning about how easy and common it is to blindly fall into addiction from pharmaceutical opioids, most of the time unintent...
[Verse 1]
A silent killer
Something you have never heard of
That is taking lives away so lethally
Never minding
What it is that is consumed
And with deadly consequences as the key
Diabilito
Nicknamed the little devil
Has the country in an epidemic state
Pharma chemists
Have now recreated it
And given it another name
[Pre-Chorus]
The cartels, the doctors, the pharmacists
Infection, affliction, dissention
The death tolls, thе red room, sedation
Addiction plaguing the youth
[Chorus]
Slipping into madnеss
Fire up the high
Slipping into madness
Just slip away and die
Slipping into madness
Fire up the high
Slipping into madness
Just slip away and die
[Verse 2]
So pay the dealer
And score a little bag
Because ground control has now killed Major Tom
Compulsive nature
That is tearing at your soul
And you didn't read the writing on the wall
That the injection
Isn't overdrawn
And the hit becomes another chance to die
The sudden rushing
With euphoria's achieved
Nodding with the needle still inside
[Pre-Chorus]
The cartels, the doctors, the pharmacists
Infection, affliction, dissention
The death tolls, the red room, sedation
Addiction plaguing the youth
[Chorus]
Slipping into madness
Fire up the high
Slipping into madness
Just slip away and die
Slipping into madness
Fire up the high
Slipping into madness
Just slip away and die
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
The brutal truth is
The opiated generation
Now a poster child for suicide
The blind consumption
Can be one's demise
As depressions in a catatonic state
Now in a coma
And breathing through a tube
LD2MG is all it takes
Another service
Another family member gone
Handed the certificate of fate
[Pre-Chorus]
The cartels, the doctors, the pharmacists
Infection, affliction, dissention
The death tolls, the red room, sedation
Addiction plaguing the youth
[Chorus]
Slipping into madness
Fire up the high
Slipping into madness
Just slip away and die
Slipping into madness
Fire up the high
Slipping into madness
Just slip away and die
