The Drug In Me is You recently went gold. On Twitter he said he made this for his fans.

They already have a song called the drug in me is you. And this is the same song but well... reimagined. Putting a different twist on it.

"I expect it to be like Popular Monster"
15 seconds in
"Woh...that falsetto"

WOW man, I've watched 20-30 reactions to this video (obsessed, i know haha) and I gotta say your reaction is my favorite because you delve into the lyrics and talk about the rollercoaster of emotions in the song and how it relates to addiction. Other people stop the song and talk about 1 or 2 lines but you examine the song as a whole and you brought up points i never thought of. Well done Sir :D

The funny thing is that the song is about his "relationship" with actual drugs. And also going to jail. However it could certainly be about a relationship with a person too, if that's how a person chooses to interpret it. It definitely fits some relationships out there. The girl in the video is supposed to be a metaphor for the drugs. Attractive and what not. But also messy. And in the end when she's on fire it's supposed to represent that he burned the habit, so to speak. And also represents attained warmth in getting rid of the coldness that drugs and jail made him feel. Also it's called reimagined instead of you because it's a reimagining of a song off their debut album called The Drug In Me Is You. Which has a far more upbeat tune to it. It recently went gold so he made this reimagined version of it as a special gift for his fans.

Yes dude! You were the first person I've seen react to this who absolutely understood what Ronnie was trying to convey with the composition of the music and content of the lyrics spot on man you really get it.

If you expect something special and good and get something totally different, even more special and absolutely beautiful! LOVE IT! <3

The original song is called "The Drug in me is you", this sounds completely different and mature and absolutely epic... so it is reimagined and they show it in the title, I guess!

I appreciate that you don’t pause it when you talk.

“The Drug In Me Is You” is about his drug abuse and jail but “The Drug in me is Reimagined” is saying that he doesn’t need drugs anymore since he’s been sober for a few years now which is amazing and we are all proud of him. You should reacted to the first and then the new it would’ve hit more but all in all he is an amazing musician and totally underrated in his genre.

"I'm expecting something similar to Popular Monster, with a mix of different genres"
I'm like "oh no he's not ready for the masterpiece about to come"

I really enjoy the way you analyzed the ending as the exclamation mark at the end of a sentence. That's so perfect. I'm glad to see you enjoyed the song and the curveballs it threw at ya!

Friend, I’ve seen a lot of reactions to this song but this is by far the best one. You’re knowledge, wording, and metaphors are awesome. Hard to believe you only have 16k views. Keep striving.

The song is actually THE DRUG IN ME IS YOU - REIMAGINED (because it is a remake of their song THE DRUG IN ME IS YOU from 10 years ago, word for word, note for note). Even the piano-solo is note for note the same as the guitar-solo of the original song.

It's a remake the original song they wrote years ago was "The drug in me is you" and it's a lot faster and heavier and in my opinion not as a serious take of the new version. This version had more power and soul...... It is a beautiful darkness.... Gets you right in the feels

I usually don’t get to the end of reacts because I just like watching the reactions themselves so when they start talking about it at the end I skip to the next one. That being said I made it to the end of yours and I thought you’re explanation of everything was amazing you really teased all the things that I saw without realizing it. Bravo

you are literally the very first reactor, who analyzed the song itself. although i also liked reactions with pure bright emotions, yours is very different in a very good way; the way you're so controlled and respectful. it was very interesting to hear all of your thoughts in the end of the video

Hope Ronnie reacts to this reaction. Would like to see how close to what I feel is what was trying, and successfully completed, to convey.

The thing that's killer for me, is the  part "And now, I've lost my fucking mind" et seq. It's uninflected - there's no anger; there's barely regret; it borders on a bald statement of fact, as the last vestiges of control snap...

The only time you encounter that sort of uninflected use of what is, by all accounts in context, a pretty brutal word, is just before there's an unleashing of violence that no sane person wants to be near.  The transition into the last part is as good  an aural and visual allegory of what happens after that... it wants to burn the world, and all in it.

listen to the original! also the trilogy!! Losing my mind -> Losing my life -> Drugs

You can’t truly enjoy how good this song is until you heard the original
