Interlude with Ludes Lyrics
I've always been behind you
So I think we should meet
I've sharpened my knives
So I'm gonna use them
Oh, baby
Oh, lalalala
I'm gonna smother you with my love
Forever and ever, also forever
Acid and poison and chemicals baby
Is what I mean to provide
I know together, we'll make the possible
Totally impossible
Lalalalalala-luh
If you want me I'm yours
And even if you don't want me
I'm trained and licensed and armed to the teeth
I think you'll agree
It's so hard to apologize
So I'm just gonna skip it
Sleep deprivation will make you a million
Did you just hear something crazy?
I got my fingers crossed you'll catch something baby
Cause I just threw myself at you
Everyone run and hide
I'm coming to find you
Is my face still bleeding?
Then what is your problem?
By the skin of my teeth
That's how I'm going to drive you
On the good ship Lollygag
LSD and a bloody pile of rags (Hey)
I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But I am
But I am
But I am
So I think we should meet
I've sharpened my knives
So I'm gonna use them
Oh, baby
Oh, lalalala
Forever and ever, also forever
Acid and poison and chemicals baby
Is what I mean to provide
I know together, we'll make the possible
Totally impossible
If you want me I'm yours
And even if you don't want me
I'm trained and licensed and armed to the teeth
It's so hard to apologize
So I'm just gonna skip it
Sleep deprivation will make you a million
Did you just hear something crazy?
I got my fingers crossed you'll catch something baby
Cause I just threw myself at you
I'm coming to find you
Is my face still bleeding?
Then what is your problem?
By the skin of my teeth
That's how I'm going to drive you
On the good ship Lollygag
LSD and a bloody pile of rags (Hey)
I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But I am
But I am
But I am

after listening to the song and researching the drug 'ludes' i think it's pretty clear that josh is the voice of the drug speaking to the person taking it, probably himself. He mentions always being behind you, and smothing you with my love but then goes on to say acid poison and chemicals will be used, suggesting he is the drug, and how 'i'm yours even if you don't want me' suggests he has no choice but to take this drug and the fact that it's used to treat sleep deprivation he says 'sleep deprivation will make you a million..' the drug being the million.
@bumbaklatious I think I agree with you and also with WPSIATWIN. I think the drug is "speaking" to Josh, but that Josh may have gotten in too deep with drugs altogether, causing him to act really weird, and do crazy stuff (see TCV interview where Dave and JPJ are laughing at Josh being on "6 different drugs").

Perhaps it got to the point that Josh was using, but didn't really want to be--or maybe he could see how it was messing up his life--but was more or less trapped in using chemicals to alter his reality more...

I take "sleep deprivation will make you a million" to mean that maybe he was working so hard on the band, writing music and lyrics in order to "make a million" that he was becoming sleep deprived...so he was taking ludes and other drugs, but they only made him hear things ("did you just hear something crazy?"), as well as doing stuff that would get him into trouble, like not being emotionally present--not apologizing when it was necessary; or getting into situations that caused his face to bleed...yet he still took LSD.
I think the drugs are telling him: Acid and poison and chemicals baby Is what I mean to provide I know together, we'll make the possible (potential success) Totally impossible (he'll become a loser, doing nothing if he keeps taking so many drugs) I hate to be the bearer of bad news (that drugs can ruin your life) But I am (because...it's the truth)
"I'M TRAINED & LICENSED & ARMED TO THE TEETH" sounds like a reference to Dr. Gonzo from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
He's trained and licensed (as a lawyer) and towards the beginning of this very drug-laden movie he says "we'll need to arm ourselves to the teeth".
I think you can also look at this one as the drug, explaining the situation to the addicited.
Stef Stef is close, but I'd be much more willing to say that it is his unconcious alter ego that is talking through the power of psychedelic drugs AKA LSD which is mentioned a couple of times in this song I'm pretty positive on this being the meaning.
Anyone else notice how ridiculously similar this song sounds to "I'm Designer"?
I love that viewpoint of the drug explanation too, and I think the other parts could be about Josh taking LSD with a friend while sleep-deprived, causing the trip to be even stranger and them to do some pretty crazy shit like driving with your teeth (?!) which most likely caused his face to bleed at some point :P So at the end of the trip they just look at the table and there's a bunch of drugs on there with a pile of rags from trying to stop the bleeding, and they're just thinking 'holy shit, what the hell did we do'. I'd write a song about it if that ever happened to me xD
Interludes with ludes, is about a stalker who obsessed with young attractive female in the desert. She tries to fends off the stalker by throwing something at his face
sounds like a song about someones who really likes someone, and will do crazy shit to get that
eatyourwheaties, I LOVE that explanation.
