Fitz and the Dizzyspells

I'm almost positive it's "nightshade gets in it," and this makes sense in context. Nightshade is a family of plants, some of which are poisonous to humans and are known to cause things like hallucinations. An aubergine is another word for an eggplant, which is actually a type of nightshade. Eggplants obviously don't normally cause hallucinations, but I'm sure he just liked the word aubergine. Thus, "you woke us from the strangest dream that an aubergine could ever know" is a reference to hallucinations caused by the nightshade. I don't know what the actual metaphor is behind that, but it's...

after reading the lyrics, i think this song is in fact his attempt at trying to write a song about the food poisoning he experienced. the fits and dizzy spells even adds to what happens when a body is poisoned, all these natural bodily reactions happen to get rid of the poison or sucuumb to it. a nightshade is a plant related to the patatoe that has posinous red or black berries. he probably confused a posionous nightshade for a dark purple colored eggplant and eat it straight from the wild while fishing with his dad, which most likely poisoned...

Thus, with this "surface intepretation"... Cast your own could simply be what he said to his Dad on the fishing trip: I'm too sick to be a good little soldier and go out to the river / lake with you... go on Cast your Own FISHING LINE! That is hilarious to me! Diving deeper into his surface description of his own song... (thriggle you will love this one, I think.) It could be he was speaking of his Dad, meaning the universal Father or creator, food poisoning was eating of the apple of knowledge, which then thrust him away...

Diving deeper into his surface description of his own song... (thriggle you will love this one, I think.) It could be he was speaking of his Dad, meaning the universal Father or creator, food poisoning was eating of the apple of knowledge, which then thrust him away from his Barn of Eden, causing him to wander as a lost soldier, trying to soldier on trying to cast his own net ( the whole, fishing stories about Jesus and the fishermen apostles stuff.) O-- or that the nightshade that gets in the word of goodness and kindness and morphs into biggotry, you know when people try to use faith to justify in the judgements of other peoples behaviors. Then Cast your Own could mean, be nice, and cast your own stones first. <shrug>
