John Doe

[agm1250]

I'm not sure how many people have heard this song on the radio, but when I heard it I thought of the struggle so many of us are going through right now. In a radio interview artist B.o.B. said the song represents "anybody who has lost control or who is spiraling out of control and who can't admit it. Who can't recognize it within themselves."

 

I think we're all here because we did recognize it, but I like the song because it serves as a good reminder to keep moving forward. When I hear it I think of my own person struggle and everyone else on this forum - all of us from different walks of life with different situations and stories, but who have experienced those same feelings of desperation and disgust with adderall and our (ab)use. 

 

 

Seems like the bus moves slower

Just cause you've got somewhere to go.

So you take a few pills in Beverly Hills.

But if anyone asks you've got a prescription.

You've got an addiction.

Who do you think that you're fooling?

---

Everybody's addicted to something.

Everybody's got to grip onto something.

Even if it's just to feel the response of appeal.

Maybe once, maybe twice, maybe hundreds of times.

Hundreds of times.

Without it, it's just harder to function at times.

You race to the bottom of every single bottle 

As if there was someone or something to find.

You're struggling in your mind

And you tell yourself lie after lie.

Till you get to the point where it's no longer private-

The people that you work with notice the signs.

When you walk in the room it gets noticeably quiet.

So you break up the silence, say you've been at the gym.

But the way that you look, you can't blame on the diet.

John Doe, I just want the John I know...

The first time I heard this song I balled my eyes out! I was fascinated by the lyrics and what John Doe means. Powerful.
