The song "The Buzz Feeling" by UB40 is about the euphoric sensation one experiences when smoking marijuana. The lyrics describe the process of rolling a joint, preparing the cigarette, and inhaling the smoke. The buzz feeling refers to the high or intoxicating effect of marijuana. The song highlights the physical and mental effects of the buzz feeling, including dizziness, wobbling knees, and a rolling belly. The lyrics portray the feeling of being consumed by the high, with the speaker's head spinning and their eyes shutting. The crowd around them finds amusement in the speaker's behavior, but they are unable to explain the mysterious sensation. As the high progresses, the lyrics mention vomiting and the feeling of having to leave the dance floor to recover. The speaker sits outside, deep in thought, promising themselves never to experience that feeling again. However, despite the warning not to mess with the "general," which can be interpreted as a metaphor for drugs or the powerful effects of marijuana, the temptation remains great. The song ends with a reminder that while indulging in the buzz feeling can be tempting, it's important to remember the strange sensations and experiences that come with it. Overall, "The Buzz Feeling" serves as a cautionary tale about the intense effects of marijuana and the potential risks and consequences associated with it.
