Colourflow In Mind Lyrics

Lyric discussion by psychedelic soul 

Cover art for Colourflow In Mind lyrics by Porcupine Tree

yep I think about drugs, too. more precisely a lot of drugs and time.

I cross the city backwards There's a lot of soul to find A million ways to loose control

ths first part seems to be about a drug that makes you loose control in any next possible moment and gives you the connection to other "souls" so I think he's talking about xtc or pot.

I find a safer haven And get myself a line Feel the urge to climb the walls

For this part I disagree that its about cocaine. I think it describes the use of Amphetamin. A safer haven is a near place where nobody is in reach and he can get a line. The urge he now is feeling, are the effects of amphetamin, that let him feel much energy.

Turn on, tune in, shut down

this line reminds me of the modern LSD pioneer "Timothy Leary" because he popularized the catch phrase "Turn on, tune in, drop out."

It's a way to pass the time Check out of my braincell again

Speaks for itself.. it seems to warn us. The drugs can help a long time, but also waste a long time of life. Searching for something in your "braincell" that perhaps isnt real?

peace
