Ozzy speaks about the "coming up" feeling one gets immediately after he has snorted a line of cocaine (Something blowing in my head/winter's ice, it soon will spread.) He also speaks of the fact that a cocaine user, once he has reached the threshold of addiction, cannot be sated by anything else. (The sun no longer sets me free) meaning that he has been overcome by the feeling cocaine gives him, and that normality is no longer enough. Also talked about in this song is the "pushing away" of friends and the denial a user inevitably goes through (Don't you think I know what I'm doing/Don't tell me that it's doing me wrong/You're the one who's really a loser/This is where I feel I belong.) Finally, Ozzy sings about the need and desire for a perpetually coked-out state. And when the coke runs out, the world is boring and filled with depression.
(Crystal world with winter flowers
Turns my day to frozen hours
Lying snowblind in the sun
Will my ice age ever come?)
