He pulls the switch, the switch inside his head, and he sees memories, memories, memories, memories, memories...

And suddenly a light appears inside his brain, And emits light upon all his memories

And knows that he has changed.

Plain and simple...

He's not doing LSD, silly gooses!

yeah, exactly... sounds like somebody has never done acid.

if you'd done acid, you know that self-discovery, letting go, being comfortable with who you are and becoming a different, more evolved person (basically everything described in the lyrics) are part of the experience.

oh, and there's lots of colors.

you should try it sometime, it's awesome and not at all hazardous to your health, despite what the propaganda says.

Fairly certain they were probably doing LSD during this song.. not saying that's what the song is about, but most songs do have different meanings - Perception. Their song "shark attack" is about an acid trip that they go to the desert and see the devil.

@jazztobak - SWIM is experienced with LSD and mushrooms of the psilocybin variety (specifically British liberty caps). LSD produces much more of a mental trip, whereas psilocybin is more spiritual.

I cannot say for certain that this song is about a psychoactive substance to begin with, but comparison of the two, but although LSD does involve a lot of laughing, I would say mushrooms are definitely a better advised trip all round (particularly fresh).
