Opiates are the active ingredient in all pain-killers. Some are stronger than others, such as Fentanyl, Dilaudid and Percocet (oxycodone). Vicodin and Norco are 'weaker.'I had heard about the Black Album era and his issue with a bad trip but didn't realize it also happened with the Lovesexy era. I had wondered if the song was just an ode to what may have been the start of a drug problem.
When you say opiate is that the same as painkillers? Or is it something else?
The narrative is that after Prince's insights while on Ecstacy, he pulled the Black album as it was written in anger and he felt it was too dark. Lovesexy was created in response to the 'negativity' of the Black album.
A minority of people think it was a marketing move, however.
