Choking Game Lyrics

Like a rush
Feel the rush

Laws young son
You'll learn this well
Like salt in wounds
Stings like hell

Pushing out
Pushing out
Pushed around
Pushing out

Now the rush

Feel the rush
Now the rush

We could not learn at all
Feeding till dawn
You denied feeling cross
Lucky this one

Pushing out
Pushing out
Pushed around
Pushing out

Now the rush
Rush (x4)
Feel the rush

Violent
Circling
Immortal
My body

We've come
So far
Finally
Energy

And the rush
Feel the rush
Bring the rush
Feel the rush
Now the...

I think this song is about making it in the world and making a life for yourself through all the people pushing you around and through all the lessons you learn along the way. He also mentions the feeling of a rush, and I think now that he has made a life for himself, playing his music and expressing himself is a constant rush and sense of accomplishment.

The name of the song also implies that it's tough, that there is a chance of failure, but that it's worth it.

To clarify: When you get choked, you will feel light headed, and feel a rush (choke sex wouldn't be as big otherwise), but if you overdo it, you die. Or at least end up with extensive brain damage. So I can agree with your interpretation of the song, but want to add that it might as well be a cautionary tale. Or both. Or neither.

I think people think way too deeply about Chevelle lyrics. This song is brilliant and a masterpiece, but it is simply about having sex with a belt tied around your neck restricting oxygen to the brain at the point of orgasm for a very intense RUSH. Brilliant because Pete's guitar is providing the feeling of the Violent Circling rush you would feel.. Listen to the song. You are supposed to orgasm at 4:40.

Song Meaning

Sorry, I just don't see it. Other than the title of the song, none of the verses seem to have anything to do with sex or bondage. Beyond that, a general song about sex doesn't seem like the type of thing that Chevelle typically addresses.

Here is another song about it: "The Square & Compass Club" "Come along and join us and we will have some fun. Come and do your thing with me so we can find the sun. We'll have all kinds of pleasure. We'll have all kinds of fun. Come along and join us, it's the Square and Compass Club. You can have all kinds of pleasure like you've never see. Know, dare, do, be silent, and you'll see just what I mean. Come along and join us and we'll have all kinds of fun. Come alone and join us. It's the Square and Compass Club." This is sung with a western guitar, with a western rhythm.

The most suppressed secret in history has been some knowledge about our own bodies. Excitation of the parasympathetic nervous system, also called the “muscarinic” nervous system, overrides the brain’s inhibitory neurons thereby awakening the brain to more that the normal 10% brain use. LSD does the same thing by blocking seratonin, the neurotransmitter of the brain’s inhibitory neurons. The largest nerves of the parasympathetic nervous system are the left and right vagus nerves. The vagal trunk emerges from the brain through the nasal pharynx, divides into the left and right vagus nerves, which descend into the lower body of flesh, not through the spine. Plexuses of the parasympathetic nervous system branch out from these vagus nerves. When these plexuses and nerves are stimulated the stimulation spreads to the brain causing more than 10% brain use. All this can be simply printed on one bumper sticker, “Vagal stimulation is as effective as LSD”. To put in contemporary terms, the mental effects of the “choking game” are not caused by oxygen content, they are caused by vagal stimulation. In 1959 an expelled lodge member told my friend and I all the secrets. The lodge uses Biblical symbolism. They represent the human body by the Temple of Solomon. The Holy of Holies represents the nasal pharynx through which the vagal trunk emerges into the lower body. The letter G secretly represents the Hebrew word “gorun”, throat. The compass represents a circle, the square represents a line, the combination represents squeezing a circle into a line, the quadrature of the circle. In 1962 I wrote this and lesser secrets in a term paper I titled “Superstition in America”. I got a 98% for it, and graduated with honors. Later, the instructor of that class sold that term paper in the term paper black market, the wrong people read it, and detectives were sent out to hunt me down. I found out that Ben Franklin invented the modern mental health system to imprison all those suspected of knowing this knowledge about their own bodies. In the Twentieth Century twenty five million Americans were locked up in the mental hospital gulags. That was one quarter of the American population. There are three depths of psychedelic experience. Perinatal matrix one, 10% to 20% brain use, is heavenly. Perinatal matrix two, 20% to 50% brain use is frighteningly powerful. From 20% to 30% brain use, what ever is artistically symbolized will become your reality, by the strong thought drawing you to the probability timeline where what you vividly symbolize is your reality. From 30% to 40% brain use, what ever you write will become your reality. From 40% to 50% brain use, what ever you say will become your reality. “If you have the faith of a mustard seed and say to this mountain move, it shall be moved”. You go to the probability time line where the mountain is elsewhere. But, from 50% to 100% brain use, every thought manifests as your reality. Who can handle that? Soon, one wishes one were someone else, and, one body switches into that someone else who probably only has the normal 10% brain use. But, it not being one’s own body, when that body sleeps or dies it’s off to another body; and this body switching backward and forward in time goes on for a duration of about a hundred years. Of course, with this one suffers everyone’s sufferings. Perinatal matrix three is used as a punishment. LSD was used for this, but some effects of LSD have been found to be permanent, so, recently “waterboarding” has been used to inflict this “Clockwork Orange” treatment. As it stands today, Dr. Stanislav Grof’s “Holotropic Breathing” increases the percentage of brain use, and, of course, the “choking game” causes increases of the percentage of brain use, but, the actual cause, vagal stimulation, has not been admitted to. Also, recently even percentages of brain use are being denied and are called mythical. They just wont let it all go, and allow all human beings the right to know these certain things about our own bodies. For the American way it is advisable to spread this knowledge.

@Lahunken What does this have to do with the song in any way?

@Lahunken I think you were smoking meth when you posted this comment. Please put the meth pipe down, and go back to sleep.
