This song is straight up about how we control and mould our own character.
(Dont forget to understand exactly what you put on the tree) means what you live learn and tell yourself is what moulds your character/brain/thinking. After doing psychadelics for a while people find themselves very open minded and sort of vulnerable to allowing certain information into their mind. Ween people know this and the tree is like your brain so dont forget to understand what you put in your head is what will motivate you. Btw this song is utterly motivating and has a happy sort of wonderous and dance like vibe to it. Makes me want to dance like nobody's watching.
(Take a wrinkle raisin) it literally means take a raisin soaked in lsd. People sometimes have a sugar cube of lsd. And at odd times people will have a raisin literally that has had lsd soaked into it.
So ya( push it into thirds) because the trip can be too intense and mentally exposing to handle and if you break that raisin into three pieces then its gonna be an easier experience.
And if you ever go into the florist shop looking for something beautiful for whatever reason. Haha the roses are not for free. But I find after having had a few friends that took too much lsd maybe 4 or 5 tabs they would wander and find themselves in weird situations trying to understand what it is that is happening to them and as one of my friends experienced, the loss of ego definitely takes away the meaning of $$ and after wandering and finding yourself in a corner store grocery/ florist shop you might try to take some of those pretty flowers or candies and walk right out without paying hahah this is literally what I think happened to Gene ween. He may have discovered the greater meaning to how his own mind worked by thinking that those roses were free and trying to walk out with them. Haha .
Anyways I do believe this song is simply about waking up to how the mind absorbs information and stores it for future scenarios and that in turn builds our personality/characteristics.
Oh ya pumpkins is their slang for lsd too.
Theres a song called mourning glory by ween and that song tells us of gener and deaners trip on acid at Halloween and they were looking at some pumpkins and it turns out they got a little too close to someone elses property and that person right freaked out on them and scared them away as if they did something bad.. which maybe they really were appearing that way but who knows..
So as they say throw that pumpkin at the tree it literally means they took acid and theyre saying hey try it. Its not bad. Unless you think that its your destiny. Because if you do then you didnt realize that the psychedelic is meant to make you love the experience of regular life and its regular magical experience it gives us. And if you just keep taking the lsd like the lsd is the amazing experience then you missed the lesson that it teaches so many people of how to love yourself your choices (hopefully good ones exactly what you put on the tree) and I think the rest of the song explains itself. Dont kill people resist the urge of the negative experience. Oh and they are the food band. The best food band ever! Hah
So carve a slab of melon and pretend that you still love me. Is just a way of saying that after a strong psychedelic experience friends that undergo these circumstances feel as though they have been through an emotional journey that tends to make them feel as though their melon(thoughts and feelings/mind) has been opened and shown to the friends nearby . So to enjoy our friends company after such intense emotional journeys we find things complicated and we put on our best face (pretend) to forego whatever emotions negative or too intense or just perhaps are unique then we learn to pretend our best that even through such an intense experience we still support the greater good and pretend (which i find has a negative ring to it but thats okay) or perhaps just fake it till we make it type of action for the benefit of the self and others around us. And eventually that greater good of love for life becomes clear. So this song might be about a bad trip that may have revealed some greater truth to Dean or Gene ween about how his own mind worked or works. And after learning that he probably found things easier when trying to make his "destiny" come true. Ween has become a legendary band. And I love this track.
