I know its cliche, but I strongly feel that this song is about drugs use. Flying through a prsimatc tunnel, a reeling mind, questonable tragressions, splendor and confusion can all be tied to drug use. I think the term blenderhead is someone whose mind is being "churned" by substances. In the second verse the line "tally up the gleaming tender ventured on a wishing well" (and even though the cd booklet it doesnt have the word tender, it is in the song) seems to be a poetic way to say, think about all the money youve spend on drugs. The wishing well aspect signifying that most drug users do it in a vain attempt to better their life. And the shell he mentions later is the crippling emotional effect drug addiction has. The line "the earth is turning and you know it very well" appears to be describing the passage of time (much like "one more turn toward the east" in the preceeding song, Get Off) And that ties in with the end verse when he says "break from tradtion and carry on with valor". I think its greg talking about brett's heroin addiction and how its no longer an adolescent phase, but apart of his life.
This is another example of how greg graffin can maintain a beautiful rhyme scheme without sacraficing meaning for poetry.
Greg Graffin wouldn't know a good lyric if it jumped up and bit him on the ass. This dude is just like a cult leader, Fancy words and indoctrination. What a fraud this guy is. Take away his thesaurus and see how good he is. Hopefully he will give up music and pursue his atheistic teaching of evolutionary biology at UCLA so he can totally remove any sense of right and wrong. What an asshole.

Wow. Way to be immature, gallium31. If you hate Bad Religion so much then why do comment on the lyrics? If you hate it so much, then dont listen to it. Plus, doesnt the bible tell not to mock others for their beliefs? If someone called you an "asshole" for being christian, you'd be really incredibly annoyed. So take your hate of everyone who doesnt believe what you do someplace else, because it's not needed here.
