wow i cant believe its been about 13 - 14 years ago when i first found this video and listened to it. at the time i had just started using meth thinking it was cool . now 14 years later thinking back to these lyrics ,, it became reality for me and my friends . thank goodness i dont use anymore and havent used in years . but my friends and brother werent so lucky . my brother is now schizophrenic and bipolar because of this drug. he doesnt use meth anymore but his brain stayed that way , it really breaks my heart to see my older brother who i used to look up too be the way he is now . he couldve been somebody .
Startling song. It brings home the very dark + seedy side of what happens when you choose to get into the drug world. People need to say NO the very moment they come into contact with drugs and it's people and then turn around and walk away and never go near that person ever again for their sake. Love themselves because they don't need it in their lives. Katriona Murphy from London England UK x x
Here's a Heroin one , these two poems have been around for 20 or 30 years . nice interpretation btw :) Behold my friend, I am Heroin Known by all as the destroyer of men ... From where I came, no one knows A far away place where the poppies grow ... I came to this country without getting caught And since that day I have been hunted and sought ... Whole nations have gathered to plot my destruction They call me the breeder of crime and corruption ... I am more potent than whisky, more deadly than wine Yes, I am the scourge of all mankind ... My little white grains are nothing but waste, I am soft and fluffy and bitter to taste ... I am white, I am brown, but deadly to use, For once your addicted, I really abuse ... I am known in Thailand, Iraq and Iran I am welcome in Turkey and have been to Japan ... In cellophane bags I make my way, To men in offices and children at play ... From heads of state to the lowest bum From the richest estate to the lowest of scum ... I take a rich man and make him poor, I take a maiden and make her a whore ... Make a beautiful women forget her looks, And make a student forget his books ... I can make you steal, lie borrow and beg, Then search for a vein in your arm or your leg ... I am known to be selfish and can fill you with greed Still faceless, regardless of religion or creed ... My gift is illusion, my blessing is fake Death and destruction follow my wake ... I am the kiss of death to all whom I touch I start as a gift and remain as a crutch ... My friends are many, but I am loyal to none I come to destroy, my work will be done ... Some think of me merely a toy, But wise men know I aim to destroy ... Run from me if you wish, I will never give chase For sooner or later you will return for a taste ... Once in your bloodstream, you'll think me not mean You will praise me as master, then nod in a dream ... You have heard my warning but will take no heed, Put your foot in the stirrup, mount this great steed ... Get right in the saddle and hold on real well, For the "White Horse" Heroin will take you to Hell ... ____________ Poem found amongst the possessions of a heroin addict.
Very well written and the acoustic guitar just sounds so right. Your voice goes so well with the song. The best part about it is that it is based on the truth word for word.
yes I agree they should play this in schools so our children couldn't know what is out there waiting for them Ad Astra playing the song showing pictures of people before and after that'll put their bodies into shock and fear God bless his guy
I love this song because i used it whenever i want i have control over it i have 3 months with out using but if u want to ill get a 20 and snorunt and feel the Rush over me love it
they should play this atleast twice a year in all schools around the world starting in 6th grade. could possibly maybe deter some kids from trying it at a young age, and then stick w them into adulthood and when findimg themselves in the situation of to try or not to try meth they will think on the lyrics of this song and say no.
Powerful words from powerful experiences of a powerful, egotistically powerless soul victimized as a suspect to a powerful disease that which is a powerful addiction ....
i think that this is a good way to make people think about what they are doing because somethimes when they feel under pressure from their friends they just think they are doing some thing good but. . . they are not they are actualy destroying theyr lives . . . SAY NOOOO
you know the part of it where it says "try me once i might let you go but try me twice and i'll take your soul"? make me glad i only tried it once! DRUGS ARE NOT WORTH IT!
hey my name is frank and i really like this song if you could could you tell me where i can get an mp3 of you doin this also i could just watch your hands but im not very good and i want to get it right can you give me the chords your using so i can play this at home
I don't know where the story came from that it was wrote by a Indian girl that oded but I know who wrote the poem it was none the less than my late wife she was Indian but she past of cancer in 2016 I've seen the poem in a note book that she wrote it in many years ago she was a young Indian girl or young lady but she was not in jail and did not die from the drug cancer took her at 46 years old I as well seen two typed prices combine to make the poem on one sheet of paper so the poem could be giving out in one sheet she signed the poem unknown for obvious legal reasons
Glad I never tried that garbage so sad the lives it's ravaging I used to call them week minded fools and had no sympathy for any of them but now years later it's truly sad .My motto is BE HIGH ON LIFE NOT DRUGS!
Not what I expected and thought it was a parody for the Primus song 'my name is mud'. Meth is rampant where I live too and sure am glad I don't do it. Great song. Shows the power of music! This needs air time for anti - drug campaign!
in my country meth doesn,t really kill directly. it would if it where available in the quantitys and puritys of the states. still i have lost a sister, a girlfriends brother, a few good friends and nearly my mum(some miracles do happen, mum has kicked a 10 year meth\morph habit) even the shit in ritalin will make you dangerous, it's just not worth it. if you wanna play with a loaded gun try some good old fashioned lsd. at least that may have good coseqeunces.
This poem was not written by an Indian girl in jail who died of an overdose...it was written by Samantha Reynolds in 2000 a woman who never even seen meth nor was she an addict...I guess the story about the indian girl adds to the power and urban legend status...but it's untrue...give the real author credit..again her name is Samantha Reynolds...do a little research next time before you buy every bullshit story you read about online or see on TH-cam...
this song was written by Samantha Reynolds an AMerican mom in 2000. It was never written by an Indian girl drug addict. That story is BS. Good that you're spreading the poem, but get your facts straight. Give proper credit to the proper creator of this content, otherwise you might as well just be spreading lies, which discredits all your hard work. Do your homework.
i thought the ring of fire was good also, oh and the ebay song of course. hi 5 do some good ones also. METH WILL FUCK YOU UP!!! look at me, now im a christian hi 5 fan.
Okay so not everybody's a hardcore or impulsive addict. His music is slightly inaccurate since some of us not going pro, or extreme,. And d I never forgot certain mortals either. No matter how innebriated i was. I was give no respect your consideration and treated like a bring this
not good enough bud. get to know the drug and you will feel as strongly as a catholic priest. i take acid, am an athiest and listen to metal. i still come of sounding like your "mum" or the "govornment" if you get me started on meth.if you wanna have fun there's still plenty of other drugs.
Let me tell you there's no one that is super human we are all human and at your age the best thing is stay away from drugs get a education and become something in life the horrors this can bring you can't imagine I've seen good people turn in to something I don't even know they have no morals or values it's truly sad and sicking what it can do

I love to hear this

I love to hear people get sober.

Came back to listen to this after many many years. I listen to this as a child. Hope you are doing alright!
You truly did that poem justice, beautiful song.
Here's a Heroin one , these two poems have been around for 20 or 30 years . nice interpretation btw :)
Behold my friend, I am Heroin
Known by all as the destroyer of men ...
From where I came, no one knows
A far away place where the poppies grow ...
I came to this country without getting caught
And since that day I have been hunted and sought ...
Whole nations have gathered to plot my destruction
They call me the breeder of crime and corruption ...
I am more potent than whisky, more deadly than wine
Yes, I am the scourge of all mankind ...
My little white grains are nothing but waste,
I am soft and fluffy and bitter to taste ...
I am white, I am brown, but deadly to use,
For once your addicted, I really abuse ...
I am known in Thailand, Iraq and Iran
I am welcome in Turkey and have been to Japan ...
In cellophane bags I make my way,
To men in offices and children at play ...
From heads of state to the lowest bum
From the richest estate to the lowest of scum ...
I take a rich man and make him poor,
I take a maiden and make her a whore ...
Make a beautiful women forget her looks,
And make a student forget his books ...
I can make you steal, lie borrow and beg,
Then search for a vein in your arm or your leg ...
I am known to be selfish and can fill you with greed
Still faceless, regardless of religion or creed ...
My gift is illusion, my blessing is fake
Death and destruction follow my wake ...
I am the kiss of death to all whom I touch
I start as a gift and remain as a crutch ...
My friends are many, but I am loyal to none
I come to destroy, my work will be done ...
Some think of me merely a toy,
But wise men know I aim to destroy ...
Run from me if you wish, I will never give chase
For sooner or later you will return for a taste ...
Once in your bloodstream, you'll think me not mean
You will praise me as master, then nod in a dream ...
You have heard my warning but will take no heed,
Put your foot in the stirrup, mount this great steed ...
Get right in the saddle and hold on real well,
For the "White Horse" Heroin will take you to Hell ...

Poem found amongst the possessions of a heroin addict.
any idea where i can find more info on this poem?
Saw this video when I was like 11, here I am at 25. Song still gives me the chills.
this song is amazing
Very well written and the acoustic guitar just sounds so right. Your voice goes so well with the song. The best part about it is that it is based on the truth word for word.
someone should sign this guy he's my new fav artist and I want too see him play on stage
yes I agree they should play this in schools so our children couldn't know what is out there waiting for them Ad Astra playing the song showing pictures of people before and after that'll put their bodies into shock and fear God bless his guy
awesome... very awesome... you are a great singer and songwriter... the lyrics are excellent... wow....
awesome ! :)
So enjoyable yet so distroyabel.
its so sad :,,c im ver emotional with things like this
I love this song because i used it whenever i want i have control over it i have 3 months with out using but if u want to ill get a 20 and snorunt and feel the Rush over me love it
This song brought tears to my eyes. The story is touching. I've been through it just lucky enough to never get caught and still living...
You did a good job on this song man
good song
i love that poem! it's my favorite... i wuz never gonna try anything but this made me not want 2 try it even more!
they should play this atleast twice a year in all schools around the world starting in 6th grade. could possibly maybe deter some kids from trying it at a young age, and then stick w them into adulthood and when findimg themselves in the situation of to try or not to try meth they will think on the lyrics of this song and say no.
They should play this song at least 7 times a year
Meth a horrible drug
It would have gotten me interested! Like the DARE program, lol.
Im an addict and trying to quit. Saved it for later as a reminder!
Dude, this is my f#ckin' jam.
Very nicely done
i really like this! i would really like a verition of this song with electric guitar, bass and drumms! plz cant you record tht verition to?
soo, true, i hope every meth addict views this, nice one man.
im going to go play my guitar now. really cool
very good
LESS TALKING MORE PLAYING!!:D
Powerful words from
powerful experiences of a
powerful, egotistically
powerless soul victimized as a suspect to a
powerful disease that which is a
powerful addiction ....
Holy fuck...the accuracy
i think that this is a good way to make people think about what they are doing because somethimes when they feel under pressure from their friends they just think they are doing some thing good but. . . they are not they are actualy destroying theyr lives . . . SAY NOOOO
i would like to see an electric guitar version
you know the part of it where it says "try me once i might let you go but try me twice and i'll take your soul"? make me glad i only tried it once! DRUGS ARE NOT WORTH IT!
1:46 seconds so no one else has to sit through that intro
hey my name is frank and i really like this song if you could could you tell me where i can get an mp3 of you doin this also i could just watch your hands but im not very good and i want to get it right can you give me the chords your using so i can play this at home

hard
I didn't take him serious at first but he got down :p
i need the chords maybe i can create one ...
Except for the B11(no3rd) between every chord it was good.
I wish I could write like that...
I wish I could write even half as good as that!
Heartbreaking tune.
This song can do for other drugs besides meth,it's a literal road to he'll and unless you've seen it,it's hard to fathom
Can I know the Chords? I think they are Am, E, F, and G with Capo in 2nd fret. Am I right?
Glad I never tried that garbage so sad the lives it's ravaging I used to call them week minded fools and had no sympathy for any of them but now years later it's truly sad .My motto is BE HIGH ON LIFE NOT DRUGS!
nicely done! is there any way to download it in .mp3?
sing already! damn

Imagination AGREED

I was give no respect your consideration and treated like a bring this
Maybe; it's still not very healthy or smart though.
not good enough bud. get to know the drug and you will feel as strongly as a catholic priest. i take acid, am an athiest and listen to metal. i still come of sounding like your "mum" or the "govornment" if you get me started on meth.if you wanna have fun there's still plenty of other drugs.
I've tried meth over 15 times and im 13 NOT addicted
max tobin Damn 10 years ago how's tina treating you kid ? she's fucking me up rn
Let me tell you there's no one that is super human we are all human and at your age the best thing is stay away from drugs get a education and become something in life the horrors this can bring you can't imagine I've seen good people turn in to something I don't even know they have no morals or values it's truly sad and sicking what it can do
You are addicted if you used it 15 times. I'm sure the last time you got high won't be your last.
so tru a lot of my friends have been ruined by this evil an the more fortunate are dead its a killer in a bag an its yours at a cheap price or is it?
haha wow, u just ruined the point of this song
