| The Killers – Where the White Boys Dance Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Who ever things this is a "gay" song.. Well, is probably right. That is if you call cocaine gay! "Take me to the place where the white boys dance. Take me to the place where they run and play. My baby is gone, you might have a chance. Just take me to the place where the white boys dance. " Sounds like someone ran out of the yay yay!!! "They hug in silence as the sun sets on their empty street. Her suspicions, well they’re rising high. And the man who sweeps him off she doesn’t meet. She walks inside and pours a strong one to put her mind at ease. It’s the calm before another storm. Her brain shifts from the whiskey to the keys. " Anyone ever watch MIAMI VICE????? Sounds like cocaine hitting ones nostril like it does in "keys" AKA kilo's... over the Florida KEYS.... Tropical storm? Cocaine is also known for its stimulatory effects, most notably causing ones HEAR RATE TO INCREASE!!! Also when cocaine combines with alcohol... Well read "If taken with alcohol, cocaine combines with the ethanol in the liver to form cocaethylene, which is both more euphorigenic and has higher cardiovascular toxicity than cocaine by itself[citation needed]. It is precisely this characteristic that has prompted heavily inebriated persons, since the early 20th century, to snort cocaine to relieve them of the depressive effects of alcohol abuse." Ever wonder why cocaine and alcohol are associated together so much? Go and party with whisky, leave with the snow from the keys... |

| Grateful Dead – Truckin' Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| For sure not all the Grateful dead songs are about drugs, but certianly LSD (acid) was a major influence. LSD much influenced the Beatles in their later years, and well.. The Doors... The band was created because of LSD (in refernece to the Doors of Perception - william blake/aldous huxley). Try searching "Grateful dead" along with Ken Kesey & the Merry Pranksters who travelled on the bus "Furthur" doing "Acid Test's" across the country. The Grateful Dead was what I guess you could call the "house band" that went along with them, but it wasn't called the Grateful Dead then. | |

| The Beatles – Glass Onion Lyrics | 20 years ago |

Read Aldous Huxley's book "Heaven and Hell" (now combined on Print with "The Doors of Perception". Read the 5 pages dedicated to glass and how he relates compares the visual effects of glass to physchedelics and the signifigance. I find it hard to believe Lennon had not read this book by the time the song was written. Physchedelica for sure. Yes CD1 on the Anthology Volume 3... sheds some light.. It almost feels more like John is writing about Aldous Huxley "Heaven and Hell" w/ that version. "I told you about strawberry fields, well here's a place you noticed is real. Just another place you can go; everything glows". "see how the others have lived" Huxley states effects of glass as being an out of ordinary experience that is not induced by drugs. Mostly in religious/spirital settings throughout culture. |

| The Beatles – Glass Onion Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I'm sure the song was written for a magnitude of reasons... But is obviously has physchedelic references. Physchedellica.... A place the Beatles lyrics inspired me to visit. | |
| The Beatles – Help! Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Help is the first LSD influenced song. "But now these days are gone and I’m not so self assured, Now I find I’ve changed my mind I’ve opened up the doors." I believe the reference to opening up the the doors is in reference to the "doors of perception" by Aldous Huxley after his first physchedelic trip. I think the "you" spoken of in "Help me if you can, I’m feeling down, And I do appreciate you being around, Help me get my feet back on the ground, " Is in reference to his sanity and perception on life, a sight that is often seen much differently after the "doors have been opened" |

| The Beatles – The Fool on the Hill Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Guys, this is a Beatles song.... Don't expect it to be over intellectual. Unlike some artist, there aren't 5 layers of obscure meaning. The guy who stated the story about Paul and Alistair walking his dog is correct. While they may have been truthful about not being on drugs, or might not have... Acid is one of those drugs that can make you think about things a little differently. Your ego drives you every day, and you never think much of that person you see as a fool... But then one day you see him (or insight into his perspective) noticing all the things going on around you that you have never noticed. Acid is a drug that truly puts you out of your mind, and I wouldn't recommend it. Some people find that inducing true insanity though a drug can help them gain insight on life. Some people are truly insane (or just different) without drugs, yet they see the simple things in life with brilliance we never see. |

| D12 – Purple Pills Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| But what are blue yellow and purple pills??? I guess shroom's might be blue/yellow/purple when dry. kind of trippy anyway. References to mescaline (which you will never find on the street or in pill form). Maybe he's talking about how tripping leads him into doing all kinds of stupid stuff? | |
| The Beatles – Come Together Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
FACT: Timothy Leary, the most well known and contraversial figure of LSD (acid) asked Lennon to write the song. Leary got busted before he could put it to use, so the Beatles put it to their own use in their own fasion. Basically the song was inspired by a request by Leary but that was as far as it went. I think the song in the end truned out to be more about Timothy Leary in a "tripped out" Beatles style. I think the reference to "he" through the song is a reference to Leary. Whether they meant "That guy's a pimp" or "Ha, what a loser lost in his mind and now in jail"... don't know |

| Sublime – STP Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| For those of you that don't know, STP is the name of a drug called DOM which is a hallucinogen with more "speedy" effects than LSD. If this is what Brad was talking about, who knows.. But by his lyrics I would assume he's speaking his mind about his life in a period of tripping on "STP" | |
