Unwritten Law - Save Me

Not an uplifting or positive song, and also it’s metal, but if you’re looking for something relatable and angry, I’d give Beartooth - I Have a Problem a listen.

One of the best songs ever by the best band ever!

Perfect Day from Lou Reed is hauntingly beautiful.

Not An Addict- K’s Choice
Hate Me Today- Blue October
I can’t listen to the second one. It reminds me of my friend who did eventually overdose and died almost two years ago.
He lied to me a lot about his addiction and disappeared to keep everyone away.

That’s unfortunate :frowning:
It’s definitely one of those songs I can’t listen to either, even though it’s a really good song.

I’m a big fan of Macklemore’s Otherside myself.

I’m pretty sure it wasn’t written to be perceived this way but I really like ā€œyou’ll be backā€ from Hamilton, I feel like it’s addiction singing to the listener.

Gear Daddies Drank so much
Sometimes I swear, I need a drink
And sometimes I swear to god, I just don’t stop to think
And I know tomorrow I’ll regret all these things I did
I drank so much tonight I just feel stupid

I didn’t go where I planned to get this drunk
And I guess my plan to get up and look for work is sunk
And I know tomorrow I’ll regret all these things I did
I drank so much tonight I just feel stupid… Randy!

And god only knows why I do these things
And god won’t you tell me why it always ends the same
And still

Sometimes I swear, I need a drink
And sometimes I swear to god, I just don’t stop to think
And I know tomorrow I’ll regret all these things I did
I drank so much tonight I just feel stupid
I drank so much tonight I just feel stupid
Sums up my drinking career
