I honestly do not think it's about drug use... as someone said, James loves his cars and anything that moves fast that has wheels and a motor. I think it's about the adrenaline for going fast which James talks a bit about on the "some kind of monster" dvd he states "I love going fast." So yeah, I think it's about cars... I don't know about the piling up crash bit?? Anywho, I think everyone's opinion is good but yer... koolies

It is definately about drugs. "Take the corner join the crash" signifies turning the corner into doing the drugs and joining all the other people who do it. "white knuckle tight" signifies when someone is clenching their fist making their knuckle go white when they use heroin. They also need fuel (drugs) for their fire (addiction) hence "give me fuel give me fire give me that which I desire". also "quench my thirst with gasoline" signifies taking drugs ang getting your fix.

It is about barney and a french guy driving a car that has no fuel so they pull over and ask elmo for some gas but he says no so the french guy says "ohh I'm frensh, I'm gunna run like a bitch" and barney takes out a 12 gauge and shoots elmo till there's nothing left but some red fur. So barney walks for hours finds some fuel and puts it in his car but his car ends up blowing up because mettalica said so

My interpretation is similar to one above that talks about going fast, speed, and whatnot. I don't think the song is necessarily about speed as much as it is about the rush for fire and energy and adrenaline.

This song could be about drug use, especially alcoholism, a problem for James who wrote this song.
But I think, it's about the thrill of fast driving and street racing, because it's about James's love of cars and fast driving. and the fact that his love of cars became a substitute for his love of drugs and alcohol.

How the hell you can be so brutally stupid? What DRUGS? What ALCOHOLISM?... James is obviously like others said inspired with cars and in this song with a fuel too, so he put himself in this song like he is an engine and putting in him a human feelings to describe us how engine is alive, like a human too, which is thirsty for fuel

This song is about cars and motorcycles, "Burn your face on the chrome" "Quench my thirst with gasoline"

To say anything else is asinine, Master of Puppets is about drugs, THIS is about cars. James has stated so himself.
