"11 Silver" is a track on Ozzy Osbourne's ninth studio album, Black Rain. Osbourne has described the song to be about "our world", although some reports have said the song is about being addicted to methamphetamines. This is particularly evident in the song's chorus, as its lyrics say:
"One time to take away all pain
One more to turn myself insane
One shot to keep me high all day
Makes my reality fade away"
This song contains some very quick, elaborate, and intense riffing from Zakk Wylde.
The song starts with the number 11 because it was originally intended to be the eleventh song on the album. As a matter of fact, at the end of the song, Osbourne can be heard saying, "Is it the last song...?" However, after the recording of the album was finished, one of the tracks originally intended for the release was removed, and the order of the rest of the tracks was changed, putting "11 Silver" as the sixth track instead of the eleventh. However, Osbourne chose to keep the "11" in the title, regardless of this.
