Burritos

When you don't even wanna eat burritos, that's when it's time to get professional help.

I think its about quitting whatever intoxicant, getting mad sick and avoiding the world to stay clean. I mean, he's straight up sick, and everything is unappealing from hosing down dogshit to partying. He's not even at the point of staying busy to be sober, he can't even get out of bed.

The lines: "Keep on skankin' ronnie skank the night away But the time has come for us all to pay" maybe mean how everything is fun and a great joke, but stick with shit for long enough and everyone feels like shit eventually.

These lines: "I don't wanna go down to the corner bar Ain't even got to listen To all the stupid shit you got to say I don't wanna do a god damn thing" mean 'You suck, I don't care what you say, cause your not fiending in the same way like I am, so I don't really care what your opinion is, how you behave, I just wanna be sober for a minute and you still suck.'

I would have to say this was about either depression or drug withdrawal, but most likely a combination of both. Bradley was someone who most likely suffered from bipolar disorder. He was up, he was down, and he self-medicated with every drug under the sun. It was Brad's own way of dealing with his depression. It's also possible that his heroin use caused such severe depression once it wore off that he didn't want to get out of bed the next day. I wouldn't know, because I've never used it.

The ending of this song is so unique. I've never quite heard anything like it, except in the original version of this instrumental, which is called Fighting Blindly, which was Sublime's first real song from what I understand, and is worth a listen, especially the live version, where he says at the beginning, "This is about the drunkest I've ever been."

it's about being dopesick. you can't get out of bed and you don't care to do fucking ANYTHING.

he wasn't lazy.... its about those days we all have. you just wanna stay in bed forever.

it sounds like meth withdrawal

I happened to come here cause I've been thinking about this song; I haven't even listened to it for a while. I just wanted to say that anyone who's had a dope prob will get this song more than anybody. In fact, I think you have to have been a user to really recognize it.

A few people have also mentioned it. Reefers, who just posted, said exactly what I think, and it's somewhat of a coincidence. Here I am, about 9 months sober, a musician, and every night I think about how I lack the motivation to pick up the guitar and be inspired to write something. That's what led me to think about the song.

Anyway, imo this song describes EXACTLY what it's like to be a heroin addict, and experiencing one of those countless and inevitable days where your habit has confined you to your bed, unwilling and unable to do anything save get high. Brad wrote this in a way that it could be interpreted as something else, like any good songwriter does, but if you have any knowledge of what heroine does to people then you'll know it's a mistake to ignore this. Addiction dominates your life, and if he wrote this after he got addicted, it's a safe bet that he was thinking about it all the time, and experiencing severe depression and probably lack of motivation. The pain alone will keep you in bed. Once you've been an addict, things lose their luster.

I got into Sublime when I was like 12 so I never thought about this back then. Sublime has always been one of my favorite bands, and I always associated their songs with chilling out and having a good time. I think as I got older though and listened to the lyrics more, I realize there's a kind of tragic feeling in even the happy songs. When I think about it, pretty much all the songs have a bittersweet emotion, even if they sound upbeat. It's just the sound he loved and the feeling he was going for, though his life was in disarray.

I think if everyone really wants to get to the deeper meaning behind this song (and there most probably is one), they have to take Brad's life into account. We know from all his songs that he wrote about his experiences or things that inspired him. He also wrote a lot about his habit. It's probably what caused him to feel this way, but that doesn't mean it isn't a universal emotion we all feel. That's why everyone can relate to it.
