the breakdown:
"I'm mixing up a bunch of magic stuff
A magic mushroom cloud of care
A potion that will rock the boat will rock
Make a bomb of love and blow it up"
-he's talking about the music they are creating and the love and care they put into it. when everyone hears their music it will explode like a bomb and rock the world.
"I did it
Do you think I've gone too far
I did it
Guilty as charged
I did it
It was me right or wrong
I did it
Yeah
--he's admitting that they had to become big to make their musci heard and make money along the way, but its up to you to decide whether he went too far to the point of selling out
"I never did a single thing that did a single thing to
Change the ugly ways of the world
I didn't know it felt so right inside
I didn't know it at all
Open up the curtains I heard sirens there the lights flash and crawl
I did it justice I just did it for the buzz "
--he never did anything to change the world, and through their music they are able to achieve this on some level. the sirens and lights are people accusing him of selling out. he is saying he did it for THE buzz, not A buzz. by the buzz he means the way people talk and spread the message of their music.
"It's a nickel or a dime for what I've done
The truth is that I don't really care
For such a lovely crime I'll do the time
You better lock me up I'll do it again "
--the money that he made along the way isnt really important to him and if it takes his "selling out" to get their music heard, he would do it again in a heartbeat.
"Oh what I gotta say to you got love
don't Turn it down
Turn it loud
Let it build
We got a long way to go
But you gotta start somewhere
Go door to door spread the love you got
You got the love
You get what you want
Does it matter where you get it from"
--he's once again talking about the spread of their music and the message that it sends. there is alot of love in their music, so spread it around and let it be heard, it doesnt matter where or why it is coming, just spread it for what it is worth.
well, thats my opinion, i honestly dont see the drug references, although it wouldnt surprise me in his lyrics to find them/
