The name 1200 Micrograms comes from a reference to the amount of LSD that it would take to dose the four members of the group. A Terence McKenna quotation sampled in the track 'Salvia Dinivorum ': "A substance so powerful that 300 micrograms is the dose. That means 1 gram will dose 7000 people". Their music is known for the heavy use of guitars and a focus on themes related to drugs.
The idea for starting the project allegedly came to Raja Ram while he was thinking about making an album about his favorite drugs. Thus, their first, self-titled album featured 9 tracks about Ayahuasca, Hashish, Mescaline, LSD, Marijuana, Ecstasy, Magic Mushrooms, Salvia Divinorum and DMT. Not surprisingly, the tracks featured many quotes from Terence McKenna and samples from movies like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The album has been a big success, and 1200 Mics even released a Marijuana music video in 2003.
The second album, Heroes of the Imagination, was dedicated to famous inventors and scientists, including Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Michael Faraday, Albert Einstein, Charles Babbage, Albert Hofmann, Francis Crick, James D. Watson, and Tim Berners-Lee. This album also contains the 2003 party hit, Acid for Nothing, a trance remix of Dire Straits' Money for Nothing (the track also replaced the phrase "I want my MTV" with "I want my LSD").
Although immensely popular, 1200 Mics received almost entirely negative reviews because their albums felt rushed, cheesy and sounded too much like eurodance. In 2005 they released a live album "Live in Brazil". In 2006 a remix album was released with tracks coming from Eat Static, Astrix and Atomic Pulse amongst others. The 3rd album was called The Time Machine. Its songs were influenced by famous places and times in the past -- The Creation of the Universe, Stonehenge, Ancient India and Egypt and Greece.

1200 Micrograms Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mohabaton mein Marne wale bhi Ajeeb hai
Azeem hai humari dastaan jane maan
Fhaaslo pe rehten hai. lekin kareeb hai
Humkoo maalum hai ...
Ishq maasoom hai
Dil se ho jati hai galtiyannnn.
Hua jo zamane ka dastur hai
Mom maani nahi
Dad naaraaz tha
Meri barbaadiyon kaa woh aaghaaz tha
Ishq ka yeh bhi ek andaz tha
Woh na raazi hue
Hum bhi baggie hue
Beqaar hum farar ho gayeeee...
ummm
Humkoo maalum hai .,.,
Ishq maasoom hai
Dil se ho jati hai galtiyannnn.
Saabrr se ishq mehruum hai ...
Mein pareshaan hoon
Ek majboori per
Hoga gum jane kar
Saath hoon mein magar
Mujhko rehna padega
Zara duri per
Sirf do hi mehene hai
Sah lo agar
Mera future hai teri kasam
Mera future hai ismein piya
Humkoo maalum hai .,.,
Ishq maasoom hai
Dil se ho jati hai galtiyannnn.
Saabrr se ishq mehrumm hai ...
Waqt se hara
Lauta jo mein
Laut kar apne ghar
Ja chuki ki thi piya
Phone karta raha phone bhi na liya
Mene khat bhi likhe saal bhar khat likhe
Meri aawaz poohuchi nahi
Kho gai meri piya kahin
Mujhko ummed thi ek din to kabhi
Woh bhi aawaaz degi mujheeeeee.
ummmmmmm ummmm ummmmm
Humkoo maalum hai .,.,
Ishq maasoom hai
Dil se ho jati hai galtiyannnn.
Saabrr se ishq mehrumm hai ...
The song "The Creation" by 1200 Micrograms reflects on the themes of love and destiny. The opening lines suggest that those who are lucky enough to experience love are fortunate, but those who die in love are strange. The song portrays love as innocent, and a mistake can be made in the heat of the moment. The next lines, "Azeem hai humari dastaan jane maan, Fhaaslo pe rehten hai. lekin kareeb hai" means that our love story is great, and while we often seem far apart, we are still close.
The verse also touches on how love can lead us astray and change our destiny. The lines "Hua jo zamane ka dastur hai, Mom maani nahi, Dad naaraaz tha, Meri barbaadiyon kaa woh aaghaaz tha, Ishq ka yeh bhi ek andaz tha" suggest the conventions of society did not allow for true love to blossom, leading to ruin. The chorus "Humkoo maalum hai..., Ishq maasoom hai, Dil se ho jati hai galtiyannnn, Saabrr se ishq mehruum hai ..." reminds us that while love is innocent and comes from the heart, mistakes can still be made in the moment, and patience may be lost.

Love is lost with impatience.
