Cocainium
Baroness Lyrics

Save yourself
By the way
Never ride alone

Tell me when the blood stops flowing
Let it rest, it’s run into the ground
Just in case the dogs are feeding
Shut the door so they won’t hear the sound

Save yourself
By the way
Never ride alone

Show me no quarter
I can’t stand the sight or the smell
It’s getting harder and harder and harder and harder to tell

Put me to pasture

I can’t stand the sight or the smell
It’s getting harder and harder and harder and harder to tell

The lyrics to Cocainium by Baroness seem to detail an individual’s struggle with addiction. The lines “Take this on an empty stomach, Waiting for the spring to come around” suggest that the singer is trying to find some sort of relief through substance abuse, but is ultimately waiting for things to get better on their own. The seven branches on the window and the mention of dogs feeding may indicate a feeling of being trapped, as if the individual is unable to escape their addiction. They are knowingly doing harm to themselves, as they cannot stand the sight or smell of what they are taking, but the addiction is stronger than their ability to resist.

The line “Save yourself, By the way, Never ride alone” could be interpreted as a message to others who are also struggling with addiction, encouraging them to seek help and support to get through it. The repeated line “It’s getting harder and harder and harder and harder to tell” expresses the difficulty in distinguishing reality from drug-induced hallucinations or delusions. The plea to be put to pasture may even suggest a wish for death, as the addiction becomes all-consuming and unbearable.

Overall, the lyrics to Cocainium by Baroness convey the destructive nature of addiction and the difficulty in breaking free from it. The singer knows it is harmful and seeks relief, but is ultimately unable to escape its grasp on their life.

Seven branches on my window
There are seven branches outside my window

Waiting for the sun to come around
I am waiting for the sun to come up

Take this on an empty stomach
Take this drug on an empty stomach

Waiting for the spring to come around
I am waiting for spring to arrive

Save yourself
Protect yourself and get help

By the way
I'm telling you as an aside

Never ride alone
Don't do this alone

Take me down easy
Help me stop taking the drug

I can’t stand the sight or the smell
I don't want to be around the drug anymore

It’s getting harder and harder and harder and harder to tell
It's becoming more difficult to resist and control my addiction

Tell me when the blood stops flowing
Let me know when the effects of the drug wear off

Let it rest, it’s run into the ground
Let the drug take its course and leave my system

Just in case the dogs are feeding
I want to avoid drawing attention to myself

Shut the door so they won’t hear the sound
Close the door to block out any noise that may attract attention

Show me no quarter
Don't pity me or go easy on me

Put me to pasture
Let me rest permanently
