Dave Matthews Band - Rhyme and Reason Meaning

Rhyme and Reason Lyrics

Oh well oh well so here we stand
But we stand for nothing
My heart calls to me in my sleep
Now can I turn to it
Cause I'm all locked up in this
Dark place -- and I do not know
I'm as good as dead
My head aches -- warped and tied up
I need to kill...

   I think that he likely tried it and felt the pull of it so he stopped but still thought about it for a while. I also know that he knows people that have been addicted to H therefore he has knowledge of it and decided to write a song about it. It was a good idea due to the pending problem this country has and how many people that would be able to relate to it.

   The song is about heroin addiction and dying from an overdose.
   My great escape
   Take this needle from my vein
   My body goes cold
   I see heaven
   
   I heard a long time ago that a family member of Dave's had died from an overdose. I'm not sure if it's true but I think it may have been his aunt.

   Its about doing your head in over nothing. Its the constant stream of mostly negative thoughts that make you imobilized and you just want it to stop.
