He does a very beautiful live version on the G3 96 album, and on the end of it he makes these guitar noises.. like the singing of killer whales, man that part really touches me every time.. there's something so powerful about it. |

| At the Gates – Blinded By Fear Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
|
For me this song seems to be talking about a bad trip or a first trip on a psychedelic plant or substance. Especially talking about falling from reality, being blind to the world within us, burning the face of the earth (ie destroying preconceptions). Also the mention of facing fears and purgatory (where a person atones for sins) are mentioned, which is often a scenario played out during particularly an acid trip. I was interested by what weaselfierce had to say about the death and rebirth themes being prevailant in the song. In places in the amazon shamanic experiences are known as "little deaths", a crossing over to the underworld and returning having been reborn. |

| Nevermore – Timothy Leary Lyrics

What's freaky about this song is that Warrel says "Timothy Leary's dead" at the end of the song, but at the time the song was recorded he was still living. |

| Nevermore – 42147 Lyrics

I might be wrong but I think 42147 is the date that the discovery of LSD was first published. The lyrics seem to reflect the first LSD self-experiment undertaken by Albert Hofmann, seen through his eyes. Although the date for that would be 41943. |
