The Dark Trail Lyrics
Light up the moon, scratching and burning, pieces of you.
Something is bigger and brighter(On the other side!)
Put down your books, and pick up your lighters!
Scare me if you can, nothing can happen
You stay heavy on my mind, can't escape you if I try, cause I know you're gonna ride.
Silenced.
Sleeping all day because you know you can't escape the night.
I don't have anything better to do than you.
Higher, higher than I could ever get again in my life.
Cause I don't desire anything but you.
I can pick you up and undress you.
Take your blue dress off and mess me up tonight.
Expensive crescent impress me with your presence, now digest your tensions.
Officially licensed, to wreck your excitement.
You stay heavy on my mind, can't refuse you if I try, make me afraid not to lie.
Now I'm on a fucking head-trip!
Regurgitate all your ambitions...
Caught up in this so bad, I'm losing my head.
IS THIS A SUBLIMINAL HIT!?
Sure I say I'm alright, but it's not all fine.
Something is bigger and brighter(On the other side!)
Put down your books, and pick up your lighters!
Scare me if you can, nothing can happen
You stay heavy on my mind, can't escape you if I try, cause I know you're gonna ride.
Silenced.
Sleeping all day because you know you can't escape the night.
I don't have anything better to do than you.
Higher, higher than I could ever get again in my life.
Cause I don't desire anything but you.
I can pick you up and undress you.
Take your blue dress off and mess me up tonight.
Expensive crescent impress me with your presence, now digest your tensions.
Officially licensed, to wreck your excitement.
You stay heavy on my mind, can't refuse you if I try, make me afraid not to lie.
Now I'm on a fucking head-trip!
Regurgitate all your ambitions...
Caught up in this so bad, I'm losing my head.
IS THIS A SUBLIMINAL HIT!?

Wow it all makes sense now. Thank you TMV, you're my hero.
Could be about hallucinogenic mushrooms. The crescent could refer to the tops of the mushrooms if they were cut up to be smoked; And sometimes, when hallucinating, it can feel like your face is melting off and other strange sensations, which may lead to scratching (though i think that line more refers to the crushing and packing before it is smoked). "Scare me if you can, nothing can happen. You stay heavy on my mind, can't escape you if I try, cause I know you're gonna ride." is saying he's not afraid of a bad trip, because he knows it isn't real and he just has to wait it out. "Silenced. Sleeping all day because you know you can't escape the night." refers to the altered state of perception blocking the reality around you. "Regurgitate all your ambitions" ... you often feel sick from the mushrooms. Blue dress would be the stems, and eating the cap would be undressing it.
So it could be about eating/smoking hallucinogenic mushrooms.
I do still believe it is most likely about Oxy though.

Now sure what the first verse means... But The second one is pretty self explainitory.
Also, just for reference, a "head-trip" is an Acid Trip.
And It would be nice if you groups these, and all the other lyrics you submitted, jhigday, into verses, not all one jumble.
"Light up the moon, scratching and burning, pieces of you."
"Light up the moon, scratching and burning, pieces of you."
Light up the moon is reffering to smoking meth out a lightbulb. This bands fall out was because the lead singer was like super and maybe is still addicted to meth.. And the scratching and buring is picking at your skin when your high from amphetamines

I totally agree with whattheballs, but i'd like to focus more on the band itself rather than the song.
The band is unique, in a way, 3 members and still amazing songs. Most people thought it wouldn't have been possible, with bands like Alkaline Trio just taking the stand with 3 members. But they did it, and will forever be remembered by me as the 'Little band that could'

You've heard of Rush and ZZ Top...right... 3 members isn't as uncommon as you're making it sound...

Up until the acid trip part, everthing else seemed like pretty direct refrences to marijuana
I think its an analogy comparing a girl to marijuana/acid.
In the sense that shes an addiction and makes him feel good, but in reality shes really bad for him and manipulates his actions
"You stay heavy on my mind, can't refuse you if I try, make me afraid not to lie."
I also think "IS THIS A SUBLIMINAL HIT!?" might mean something significant just not completely sure what or how significant.
Actually, it's not about marijuana. It's about smoking oxycodone (or commonly known as OxyContin).
The pills usually come in color coded capsules, blue indicating the more common dosage, which is also mistaken for a time release coat. So people remove the blue coating -
("I can pick you up and undress you. Take your blue dress off and mess me up tonight.)
Since oxycodone is an opiod, it works by binding to opioid receptors found in the central neverous system and gastrointestinal tract ("Digest your tensions") maybe?
Makes sense to me.
bout' time someone spoke up about this :)

Well TMV, actually as a dope head, id have to say that oc's are not a capsule, a capsule is like a ridilin or aderal pill, it is just a pressed pill..taking the blue dress off means, licking the pill and rubbing off the coating, to get rid of the time release..but you are correct about the dark trail, its called chasing the dragon

RAWRZACH your actually wrong. Im prescribed oxycodone, and it comes in a capsule. And the capsule is actually blue. Capsules are instant release, and the compressed tablets release over time. So it could be a tab or capsule, really doesn't matter.

That is quite genious TMZ.
It's kindof depressing finding out that a lot of my favorite bands' songs have direct drug references - not just TFOT.
After that explanation, it makes a whole lotta sense. I'm assuming the "put down your books" part is dropping out of school to smoke. But what's with the moon (1st, 2nd lines)?
