Cover art for Beauty of Speed lyrics by Tori Amos

I think there's definitely a drug reference there...it also reminds me of ecstasy. Maybe that's just my personal experience speaking...but the colors changing, out of a black and whit world...ecstasy is VERY speedy, but with an extra hallucinogenic quality. You understand everything, and the problem i you weren't "loving" enough. you love everyone and everything, and you can't see why there was any problem.

And then suddenly, you look around and it's WAY too bright...it's morning, you've been up all night, you have NO tolerance for light or any other kind of stimulation. And you have the feeling that just a minute ago you solved every emotional or relationship problem you ever had, and for some reason you are very, very sad. And you still can't sleep, because the only affect that's left is...the speed.
