Best answer:

Answer by hollywoodhills & suburbanthrills
it’s about drugs and life in san francisco

“Beneath a catchy upbeat melody, the song contains dark lyrics about a drug user’s descent into crystal meth addiction and his sexual activities. However, the single still became a major hit. There may have been a public effort to disguise the meaning of the song, as the words “crystal meth” are frequently censored on radio stations, or “blurred” out of recognition.

The lyrics “I want something else” in the chorus, were originally “I want nothing else”, but this was changed at the last minute. When the band was asked why, they avoided answering. It is speculated that the replacement of “nothing” with “something” in this instance would make it seem as though the subject of the song wanted to stop using drugs, as opposed to “wanting nothing else” other than drugs.

According to Jenkins, this song was started as a response to the Lou Reed’s “Walk On The Wild Side”, but from a San Francisco perspective. The style comes from the changes that were occurring in San Francisco at the time in the way of music, particularly the growing interest in hip-hop.”
