| The Chemical Brothers – The Test Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| this song is straight-up about tripping on lsd. The term acid test is from the 60s, specifically events that Ken Kesey (author of One flew over the cookoos nest) and his Mary Pranksters along with the Grateful Dead held. Basically they were the origins of modern day, mdma dropping raves. Essentially they toured the US in a psychedelic painted bus, and held massive 'acid test' parties where they would basically have like 50 gallons of koolaid + LSD and everyone was invited. The Dead played music while they had crazy visual effects being projected on the walls/ceiling. And if you dropped acid, and experienced it for the first time, you passed the acid test. And then theyd go to another town and repeat it, trying to 'turn on' as many people as possible to lsd. if you want a load of information about Ken Kesey and the mary pranksters, check out a book by Tom Wolfe called "The Electric Koolaid Acid Test" | |

| Tool – Undertow Lyrics | 23 years ago |

this song is not about drugs (tool members are not addicts as far as i know). its a representation of society which dictates your life. you are brought into a world where you are taught religion and where you enjoy all the matierial possesions. these things restrict the true nature of life which is to simply exist till you die. you have religions saying you can and can't do certain things, you have government and media showing you what you want to do, being swept under in the ocean of lies that society has created. you get used to the way it all works and think you're enjoying this reality others have dictated to you when in actuality, you're on your knees worshipping and contributing to the system of lies. when you become aware of how screwed up our world is and how wrapped up most of the world is in their petty matierial problems, you're helplessly awake in the undertow. and you will die in the undertow that you were raised and lived in because there is no way out of the laws and rediculous wars that the world around us creates. so stay ignorant and blissful or become aware and bear the burdon of the knowledge that you are being swept along in the sea of chaos at the mercey of of governments who think they know whats best for us. |
