Splash 1

i think its about shrooming or dropping acid for the first time. run it up the flagpole...

I felt like that the first time I ate litmus; I felt damn glad to be hooooooooome.

Dropping acid and looking inside yourself, seeing yourself the way you appear to the outside world for the first time (I've seen your face before, I've known you all my life / And though it's new, your image cuts like a knife) or coming to terms with your own personality. Very introspective, deep stuff for early psychadelia.

i'm pretty sure that the lyrics to the bridge actually go like this:

And though this is our first meeting We needn't bother speaking All we might say is understood

look guys, tommy hall speaking, this song is about a sombrero, duh!?!

dont get me wrong nothing wrong with droppin a little acid but this song is totally about a girl

its about dropping acid with a friend, saying about time dilation (although this is rather speedy), the connection you have with your friend is perfect that you dont have to speak to them to understand them (all we might say is understood), also talks about how your emotions rage (the fierceness of my feelings rocks me like a war) & the feeling of connection with your buddy after the trip (its good to know we wont be strangers anymore)

don't trip to 13th floor elevators....

Yes! Please, change the text! somebody! It hurts my eyes!

I, Clementine Hall, wrote "Splash 1." Some of the lyrics attributed to it are comically incorrect. I've corrected two lines as follows: "Though this is our first meeting [not "though this is awful speedy"], we needn't bother speaking" [not bother "sleeping"] and "the fierceness of our feelings rocks me like a roar" [not "war"].
