Lyric discussion by Lord-Zed 

Cover art for Thriving To The Scene lyrics by 311

This is the last song on Side 2 of "Dammit!", 311's first tape.

Um, the song is sorta hard to "decipher", because a) the full lyrics aren't shown; and b) it's a pretty crazy song.

But, from listening, it sounds like it's retelling a psychadelic experience one of said band members had.

"Everything seems turning and the jam starts to break" The music wails and swirls in your ears...

"(??) circles and red and not pink"" ...like a psychadelic scene in a movie (the trippy moving colours, etc.).

"Thriving to the scene" (the lyric itself) might be about kids who are pressured into drugs by their friends to "thrive to the the scene" (as in being cool).

The last verse I can really decide anything about it, so I'll leave it out.

Well, whatever it's about, it's a pretty fucken cool song.
