He was a good friend of mine
He died
Why I write about it now
Gotta honor him somehow
Saw some people crying that night
Yeah Fentanyl took a few lives from our life
Alright
I awoke in the middle of the night
He spoke
With his eyes half closed
Can you get me something else to eat
Got a hole in my chest
I canāt take it anymore
Put my pillar to the test
Let me rest
In the house they were calling out his name
All night
Taking turns on the bed
Throwing bottles from the windows of the home
On Hope Street
You can write a check in my name now
Eddie take the money and run

I feel like Alex usually expresses himself through fictional or semi-fictional characters and worlds. But this has to be one of his most emotionally direct songs and it's stunning

This hits different now. My lil sister just died of a fentanyl overdose last month. Thanks for being there Alex G.

As a guitarist, this song is an absolute chord progression strumming valhalla

My cousin passed last year from a fentanyl overdose. I still think about him often, this song is often one I skip over due to the sadness it brings me. Such powerful lyrics it has. You never think that this kind of stuff will effect you until it does

this song reminds me of my bestfriend who died this year. she was my only friend and reason to keep going. and here i am now almost a year later. still pushing. but its still for her sake. i want to make her proud and dedicate all the success that ill make in my art career to her.
rest in peace my love, koda

I live just a few blocks from Hope Street. Every time I walk down the street (it's more of a lane) to get somewhere, I gotta listen to this.

iāll never forget the first time i heard this song, the first line really hit me hard especially since i lost my brother/closest friend years prior. i just felt a really strong connection to the song and years later it got me through another really rough point in life when my close friend and roommate was dealing with drug abuse. it was a really scary year and iād sit by his bedside most nights checking his pulse and breathing and making sure he didnāt sleep on his back. i was afraid to sleep because i was terrified heād od. while he was in rehab iād just sit alone in my room and listen to this song. rehab was rough for him but i think it helped even a little and heās doing so much better now thankfully and doesnāt do pills anymore. my heart goes out to everyone grieving in the comments, not every story has a similar happy ending. tell your friends and your family you love them and always check up on people you love. you never know what someone is going through. as someone who used to do so and is now over a year sober, i can say with my whole heart that coping with substance is never the right choice and will leave you worse off. if youāre reading this God loves you <3

Man I loved this song and never really digested the lyrics in the first chorus until reading through them. Hits hard. We've all lost someone close to us at some point, or will.

My uncle passed as morphine addict in 2007. That wasnāt who he was. A lot of family around me labelled him as a lowlife, someone to avoid, but every time I saw him he had something good to say, something positive to teach me and my sisters. Ironically, out of all of my family, he spent the most time in our lives before he passed. Mum and I love you always Uncle Paul.
