Seen Sabbath tons of times and Ozzy would announce the song as this is a song about cocaine.

It is, yes about cocaine, (or the snow- snowblind) and he gets an addiction, which makes him blind to the world and all he can think about is the cocaine. So that just proves Don't do drugs kids!

It's about Cocaine (not speed) and that in the short run it makes him feel good, but in the long run he feels cold.

This song is quite obviously about cocaine. If the lyrics weren't enough, "snow" is sometimes used as a slang word for coke. 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?)

The song is about shooting cocaine. mainlining. you temporarily go blind for a few seconds as the rush of the drug hits you. Cocaine is a very, very bad drug because it makes you feel so good while on it but so terrible when you come down. You just want to stay high. He's singing about how the addiction overtakes him and all he wants to do is run coke.

This song is about when Ozzie went on a skiing trip with satan,and because Ozzie chose not to do satans' bidding by selling his soul for all eternity, he made Ozzie snowblind, and to this day, Ozzie cannot see snow falling,or on the mountains,or on a TV with crappy reception,and every time anyone mentions the word snow, Ozzie has to leave the room, and get where it is warm.
