Needles (System of a Down song)

"Needles" is the second song in System of a Down's album Toxicity, and follows on from the previous track "Prison Song".
"Needles" was written by Serj Tankian and Daron Malakian. The lyrics describe the dangers of drug abuse. The song compares the feeling of drug addiction to "having a tapeworm"; i.e. the more you feed it the bigger it gets, but you get nothing back from it.
After the second chorus, a bass riff leads into the bridge, where Malakian sings "I'm sitting in my room with a needle in my hand, just waiting for the tomb of some old dying man" (again, following the theme of drug addiction). Later in the song Tankian joins and leads into the last chorus with a death growl.
