Dream & Onion's "Me And My Drugs" is a slow-burning alternative rock track that doesn't explode with emotion as much as it simmers in it, pulling you into a gritty, unglamorous portrait of the quieter, more familiar chaos of addiction.
Anchored by thudding, distorted guitar lines, and a weighty, plodding rhythm, the song is molasses-slow, viscous, and inescapably dense from start to finish. There's no dramatic overdose, no redemption on the spot. Just a guy, smiling and gone, slipping beneath his own weight.
Dream & Onion evoke a form of emotional withholding that feels discomfitingly true. The narrator isn't celebrating the high or lamenting the low but is stuck in the in-between. "Me And My Drugs" doesn't ask questions or supply answers. It is there just uncomfortably, as addiction is. In a field full of howling pain, Dream & Onion whisper theirs. And somehow, that only makes "Me And My Drugs" louder.
