Part 1
Now you know that you are real,
Show your friends that you and me
Belong to the same world,
Turned on to the same word,
Have you heard?
Now you know that you are free,
Living all your life at ease.
Each day has its always,
A look down life's hallways, doorways,
To lead you there.

[The Voyage]
Part 2
Now you know how nice it feels,
Scatter good seed in the fields.
Life's ours for the making,
Eternity's waiting, waiting,
For you and me.
Now you know that you are real,
Show your friends that you and me
Belong to the same world,
Turned on to the same word,
Have you heard?
Have you heard?
Have you heard?
Have you heard?
Have you heard?

    This song is so good. On the Threshold of a Dream is in fact an amazing album and i'd say this section (Have You Heard Part 1, The Voyage, Have You Heard Part 2) is the best part along with conclusion of the album. I have no doubt as to whether this song is about acid. The Voyage is the trip and this is him looking back with his experience-partner whom he guided: "Now you know how nice it feels,"...eh eh eh? "Turned on to the same word,"...eh eh eh?...and I think it may actually be "turned on to the same WORLD," but I don't know. Amazing song from an amazing band.

    My Interpretation

    Agree with JuliaDreamer. Looking back on the experience, the tripper feels connected to all things, sharing how we "Belong to the same world," as the illusion of separateness melts away. Even though things appear as illusions, the tripper says we are nonetheless "Real" and that there is freedom in these realizations.

    In Part 2 the tripper tells us that the path revealed by the experience is through virtue: "scatter Good seed in the field." and that we can chose this path if we want: "Life's ours for the making." When he says "Eternity's waiting" he reveals his insight about patience and cosmic time scales that we don't ordinarily perceive (perhaps also this is a reference to rebirth). When the tripper urges "Show your friends that you and me..." he's saying that we should convey the experience of this freedom to others, that they too may live peaceful, harmonious lives. Finally, in the gentlest act of love, the tripper asks "Have you Heard?"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
