Wikipedia
Opiate is the major-label debut album by American rock band Tool. It was produced and engineered by Sylvia Massy and former Minor Threat bassist Steve Hansgen. Released as an EP in 1992, it was the result of some two years of the band playing together after their formation in 1990. Opiate preceded Tool's second major-label release, Undertow, by a year. It is named after a quote by Karl Marx: "Religion [...] is the opium of the masses". As of July 7, 2010, Opiate has sold 1,155,000 copies in the US and is certified Platinum by the RIAA.
An opiate is any of the narcotic alkaloids found in opium.
Opiate may also refer to:
- Opiate, an alias of Danish musician and producer Thomas Knak
- Opiate (EP), an EP and title track by progressive rock band Tool
- "Opiate" (song), a song by the rock band Tool
"Opiate" is a song by Tool and the title track from their debut EP recorded by producer Sylvia Massy at Sound City Studios in 1991. While never released as an official single, it is one of the best known songs among their early work. "Opiate" serves as the final track of the Opiate EP and contains the hidden track, "The Gaping Lotus Experience."
The song's title and lyrics apparently elaborate on the Marxist concept that "religion is the opium of the masses". Keenan's lyrics liken religion to rape and abuse by a person or group of people to another person or group of people. The lyric "deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow, what you need is someone strong to guide you" supports this notion. Sometimes when played live, Keenan sings "...what you need is someone strong to use you". The song's chorus of "Jesus Christ why don't you come save my life, open my eyes and blind me with your lies" may refer to the antagonist, or his victim, either seeking forgiveness or salvation.
Opiates are alkaloid compounds found naturally in the opium poppy plant Papaver somniferum. The psychoactive compounds found in the opium plant include morphine, codeine, and thebaine. The term opiate should be differentiated from the broader term opioid, which includes all drugs with morphine-like effects, including opiates, semi-synthetic opioids derived from opiates (such as heroin, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, oxycodone, and oxymorphone), and synthetic opioids which are not derived from opiates (such as fentanyl, buprenorphine, and methadone). All opioids, including the opiates, are considered drugs of high abuse potential and are listed on various "Substance-Control Schedules" under the Uniform Controlled Substances Act of the United States.
In 2013 between 13 and 20 million people used opiates recreationally (0.3% to 0.4% of the global population between the ages of 15 and 65).
