“Too many young people dying.. music and drugs don’t have to mix.. “
Sleeping With Sirens frontman Kellin Quinn features on a soon to be released track by DJ Yultron, tackling the glorification of drug culture.
Accompanying a short teaser of the track posted to Instagram, Kellin shared “Too many young people dying.. music and drugs don’t have to mix.. Yultron and I wanted to write a song about it.. because we both lost friends close to us.. not trying to tell anyone how to live their life.. just expressing our feelings when it comes to the issue… #thebottom”
The lyrics from ‘The Bottom’ appear to be:
I said hey keep your head held high
Because I know in my heart that it’ll be alright
You’ll never understand with a soul so hollow
You’ll never find the answer at the bottom of a bottle
This isn’t the first time that Kellin has taken a stand against the glorification of drug culture in the scene- he posted a series of tweets at the end of last year sharing his frustrations:
These new artists coming up in a scene that I’ve seen help so many people.. glorifying drug use need to stop

To the “select few” claiming that a song.. obviously having nothing to do with shooting the “actual” drug “heroin” or doing “morphine” need to be educated on the concept of metaphors…

There’s a diff between a song describing a relationship to be similar to the effects of a drug.. and songs that literally talk about doing drugs ��
