About Needles

"Needles" is the second song in System of a Down's album Toxicity, connected to the previous track "Prison Song". It was written by Serj Tankian and Daron Malakian. The lyrics, are about drug (such as heroin) abuse and its dangers. Just like having a tape worm, you keep feeding this addiction without ever being "nourished". The more you feed it the bigger it gets and the less you get from it. After the second chorus, there is a bass riff that leads into bridge, where Malakian the guitarist sings "I'm sitting in my room with a needle in my hand. .

Needles Lyrics

[00:25.92] I cannot disguise
[00:28.28] All the stomach pains and
[00:29.48] And the walking of the canes
[00:30.80] When you, do come out
[00:33.00] And you whisper up to me
[00:34.46] In your life of tragedy
[00:35.63] But I cannot grow
[00:38.06] Till you eat the last of me
[00:39.42] Oh, when will I be free?
[00:40.55] And you
[00:41.95] A parasite
[00:43.28] Just find another host
[00:44.57] Just another fool to roast, 'cause
[00:45.76] You
[00:48.27] My tapeworm tells me what to do
[00:50.86] You
[00:53.22] My tapeworm tells me where to go
[00:55.61] Pull the tapeworm out of your ass
[00:58.15] Hey

[01:14.46] And the filling of the crates
[01:15.84] When you (you), do come out (out)
[01:18.27] And you slither up to me
[01:19.57] In your pimpin' majesty
[01:20.85] But I cannot grow

[02:20.99] Of some old dying man
