"Matthews added about the song's lyrical content: "I don't know whether it's a song about being lost or being f--kin' out of your mind because you licked some cactus or swallowed some mushroom somewhere and turned your head upside down. It could be "Hey! (hey), You! (you), Get off of my cloud." It could be a lot of things. I like songs that just create beautiful images and that's why I don't want to talk about the lyrics because I just think it's perfect. Some of the songs have to be open."
---I'm glad he said that, bcuz not one of yall's interpretations were anything close to what I got from this song.
like he said "I like songs that just create beautiful images... some songs have to be open."
the great thing about this song (and DMB in general) is that I have my interpretation of this song and you have yours, and yet neither one is wrong :-D
