constellation-funk: constellation-funk: “Codeine Crazy” is one of my favorite songs, but I have a very different perspective of it clean and sober than I’m sure I would have if I had heard it back when I was using. To an active, practicing addict, this song will come across as a statement of junkie solidarity; we laugh sadly, we bow to entropy, we swig a drink of vodka and pop a couple of benzos and fade into darkness, convinced that ours is the left-hand path, dismally content with the certainty of eventual oblivion. Future’s millions, in his mind, cannot save him; if anything, they will seal his fate. Adored by scores and with more wealth than most of the people you know combined, Future still believes himself to be trapped in the gravitational pull of addiction, as much as or more so than any common vagrant retching into the gutter. There is, to reiterate, comfort in this idea. Fatalism is easy; it’s almost relaxing. Here’s something I wrote about Future and addiction. I hope you get something out of it. Much love to @Jennyyuu for the illustration. reblogging for the evening crowd Did a quick illustration for a piece by Chris. Give it a read because he writes beautifully and eloquently about a subject most avoid. -- source link
