Stoned
Dido · Life For Rent
When you're stoned, baby
And I am drunk
And we make love
It seems a little desolate
It's hard sometimes not to look away
And think what's the point
when I'm havin to hold this fire down
I think I'll explode
if I can't feel this free now
If you won't let me fall for you
Then you won't see the best that
I would love to do for you
Instead you will be missing me when I go
Cause I'm bored of hangin out,
in your cold
When I feel loved, baby,
I join the road
And the world moves with me
When I feel lost I just slip away
Silently, quietly take my things and run
And think what's the point,
think where's the hope when coming home
If you won't let me fall for you
Then you won't see the best that
I would love to do for you
Instead you will be missing me when I go
Cause I'm bored of hangin out,
in your cold
And if you find one day,
find some freedom and relief
And with this freedom maybe,
maybe you will find some peace
And with this peace, baby,
I hope it brings you back to me
Bring you home, take me home
If you won't let me fall for you
Then you won't see the best that
I would love to do for you
Instead you will be missing me when I go
Cause I'm bored of hangin out,
in your cold
Oh.... take me home
Oh.... take me home
When you're stoned, baby... take me home
Oh....
Stoned - Dido
Dido's 2003 single "Stoned" stands as a defining track of the early 2000s indie pop revival, showcasing her signature blend of ethereal vocals and atmospheric production. Featured on the critically acclaimed album *Life For Rent*, the song captures a mood of introspective melancholy and urban isolation, themes that permeate her broader discography including *No Angel*. The recording exemplifies the genre's shift toward organic instrumentation and emotional depth, influencing a wave of artists who sought to move beyond the polished pop sound of the late 1990s. Its enduring popularity highlights Dido's ability to craft songs that resonate with personal vulnerability while maintaining a distinct sonic identity within the English indie landscape.
