"- okay that is one of the stupidest things i've read on here. this song IS about drugs. get with it. you, iteration2 are a dumbass."

You're probably long gone by now, but in case you come back:

Wow... You're very defensive for some reason, and very quick to put down the overall intelligence of someone with a well articulated opinion while offering nothing of your own.

I'm sorry to say, but, much as I like drugs (not all of them, and I'll leave my favorites up to conjecture), and acknowledge their importance both in artistic and introspective exploration and recreational value, not everything that's inspired by a trip is about one.

One reason drugs have always been so popular amongst artists is because of what the artist is capable of seeing, feeling, or realizing while under their effects, and many of them find some deeper truths (or deeper falsehoods) while delving into less-filtered areas of the mind. We can either write these off as drug-addled delusions (as many do) or embrace them as a gift of insight given to us by those adept at clarifying their otherwise hidden inner thoughts.

I can't tell whether you are so down on my "not about drugs" comment because you saw me as some ignorant square, oblivious of the importance of drug culture, or because you're one of them, and would rather write off this amazing song as an addled trip than acknowledge any deeper meaning...

Or maybe you're just an internet troll.
