    Comfortably Numb- Pink Floyd (Although I'm iffy on whether or not that's actually what the song is about)
    Under the Bridge-Chili Peps. One of the hardest songs I've learned to play on the guitar, if not the hardest.
    Alice in Chains is easily one of my favorite bands, I love all their Smack and Phine songs.

    eggokiller, comfortably numb doesn't describe opiates, and it's pretty well known that it was written about tranquilizers, most likely ketamine if I recall right.

    Sublime-pool shark is a good song.

    Bad Religion-billy is also a good song.

    I honestly don't have any songs with opioid-related lyrics but here is what I like to listen to on opioids:
    1. Mid-era Genesis (1975-1980)- before the pop and after the hard-core progressive era.
    2. Post-bop acoustic jazz (1960-1970)- things like Bill Evans Trio or the Miles Davis Second Quintet.
    3. The Moody Blues early albums (1967-1970)
    4. Mid-era Beatles (Rubber Soul through Sgt. Pepper's)
    5. Stereolab all eras

    Not heroin. But it's one of my favorite songs about opiate use.
