Cover art for Flaming Telepaths lyrics by Blue Öyster Cult

a lot of this song makes me think of heroin use. opened up my veins too many times-shooting heroin into a vein. lots of references to a poison, drugs=poison, that's clear to see, haha. i'm after rebellion, i'll settle for lies-maybe something like, he was trying to rebell from something bu turning to drugs, but everything people told him about them were lies, but since he's hooked, he has to settle. experiments that failed too many times-referring to experimenting with drugs, and things just getting worse from there.
