Pineal Gland
Ab- Soul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was all a dream, I swear it never happened
I wrote like Edgar Allan
I was po' like Edgar Allan
Let me hit the weed
You know I really need that
Missin' screws, bendin' rules like kneecaps
I don't even know what's real
I'm just being real makin' moves
You just another human being being still
Play the fool
You jealous dudes are just a plate of food
Tell the truth, I'm the coldest cat
Sabertooth
Blaze the booth, blaze the Buddha
This ain't hookah
You hit this shit a few times
You might see the future
Ask my nigga Blocka
We be rollin' up that Blanka just retire
If I light this fire I
Might blow your block up

Enjoy your mind trip
But don't trip on your mind
No man is safe from the war goin' on outside
That's right
You ever been conscious in a coma?
Please don't tell my momma
This ain't marijuana
I might be trippin' off that DMT
TDE, limitless like we on NZT
I made my dreams reality, so to speak
Or so they say, I could still be asleep

The black sheep runnin' with
A pack of wolves diamond in the rough
Tell Brock I need a pack of Woods
Two white cups full of codeine
Plus I got two white sluts down to blow me
Can't you see I'm floating like
Root beer and ice cream?
My synapses act like lightning
Probably why I'm so enlightenin'
Probably why these niggas can't fuck with me
I'm lookin' like
"Who the fuck invited them?"
They failed in testin'
Like what's inside of them
Soulo, Soulo – say it like you mean it
My demeanor is the meanest
I'm gettin' meaner by the minute
Its mine, I spend it my mind is spinnin'
Your time is tickin', the sky's the limit
We in a space where matter don't matter
Just spirit molecules and geometric patterns
Shitted in a crater last time I sat on Saturn
Got a letter from Andromeda
They tryna shrine my bladder

Enjoy your mind trip
But don't trip on your mind
No man is safe from the war goin' on outside
That's right
You ever been conscious in a coma?
Please don't tell my momma
This ain't marijuana
I might be trippin' off that DMT
TDE, limitless, like we on NZT
I made my dreams reality, so to speak
Or so they say, I could still be asleep

I'm in a whole nother realm, go to hell
Last nigga tried to scratch the
Surface broke a nail
Last nigga tried to cross
The line got crucified
We overseas, back-to back, never wore Chanel
The new nucleus never sittin' in a cell
Genius idiot, best description of myself
I'm in a fuckin' lab coat
Rhymin' as high as shit
When I die, donate my organs to science
Bitch!

You got three eyes, three eyes, three eyes
You got three eyes, three eyes, three eyes
You got three eyes, three eyes, three eyes
You got three eyes
But you can never see I's
You got three eyes, three eyes, three eyes
You got three eyes, three eyes, three eyes
You got three eyes, three eyes, three eyes
You got three eyes
But you can never see I's
You got three eyes, three eyes, three eyes
You got three eyes, three eyes, three eyes
You got three eyes, three eyes, three eyes




You got three eyes
But you can never see I's

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ab-Soul's song "Pineal Gland" explore themes such as the blurred lines between reality and dreams, the pursuit of enlightenment through psychedelics, and the artist's unique perspective on life and society. The song begins with a reference to Edgar Allan Poe, highlighting the artist's ability to craft intricate and imaginative lyrics. Ab-Soul then expresses his need for marijuana as a means to tap into his creativity and open his mind.


The lyrics also touch upon the idea of being conscious in a coma, suggesting that the artist's perception of reality may be distorted or altered. He references DMT, a powerful hallucinogenic substance, and compares his limitless mindset to being on the fictional drug NZT from the movie "Limitless." Ab-Soul views his ability to make his dreams a reality as a form of enlightenment, but questions whether he is actually awake or still asleep.


The second verse delves into the artist's unconventional nature, his association with the TDE (Top Dawg Entertainment) collective, and his disregard for societal norms. He boasts about his intelligence and warns others not to underestimate him. Ab-Soul then introduces the concept of having three eyes, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for having heightened perception and awareness, but he notes that despite this, others fail to truly see him for who he is.


Overall, "Pineal Gland" is a thought-provoking and introspective song that explores themes of consciousness, perception, and personal enlightenment.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was all a dream, I swear it never happened
I wrote like Edgar Allan, I was po' like Edgar Allan
Let me hit the weed, you know I really need that
Missing screws, bending rules like kneecaps
I don't even know what's real, I'm just being real
Making moves, you just another human being being still
Play the fool, you jealous dudes are just a plate of food
Tell the truth, I'm the coldest cat, sabertooth
Blaze the booth, blaze the Buddha, this ain't hookah
You hit this shit a few times, you might see the future
Ask my nigga Blocka, we be rolling up that Blanka
Just retire, if I light this fire I might blow your block up

[Hook]
Enjoy your mind trip, but don't trip on your mind
No man is safe from the war going on outside
That's right, you ever been conscious in a coma?
Please don't tell my momma, this ain't marijuana
I might be tripping off that DMT
TDE, limitless like we on NZT
I made my dreams reality, so to speak
Or so they say, I could still be asleep

[Verse 2]
The black sheep running with a pack of wolves
Diamond in the rough, tell Brock I need a pack of Woods
Two white cups full of codeine
Plus I got two white sluts down to blow me
Can't you see I'm floating like root beer and ice cream?
My synapses act like lightning
Probably why I'm so enlightening
Probably why these niggas can't fuck with me
I'm looking like, "Who the fuck invited them?"
They failed in testing, like what's inside of them
Soulo, Soulo – say it like you mean it
My demeanor is the meanest
I'm getting meaner by the minute
Its mine, I spend it; my mind is spinning
Your time is ticking, the sky's the limit
We in a space where matter don't matter
Just spirit molecules and geometric patterns
Shitted in a crater last time I sat on Saturn
Got a letter from Andromeda, they tryna shrine my bladder

[Hook]
Enjoy your mind trip, but don't trip on your mind
No man is safe from the war going on outside
That's right, you ever been conscious in a coma?
Please don't tell my momma, this ain't marijuana
I might be tripping off that DMT
TDE, limitless, like we on NZT
I made my dreams reality, so to speak
Or so they say, I could still be asleep

[Verse 3]
I'm in a whole nother realm, go to hell
Last nigga tried to scratch the surface broke a nail
Last nigga tried to cross the line got crucified
We overseas, back-to-back, never wore Chanel
The new nucleus never sitting in a cell
Genius idiot, best description of myself
I'm in a fucking lab coat, rhyming as high as shit
When I die, donate my organs to science, bitch!

[Outro]
You got three eyes, three eyes, three eyes
You got three eyes, three eyes, three eyes
You got three eyes, three eyes, three eyes
You got three eyes, but you can never see I's
You got three eyes, three eyes, three eyes
You got three eyes, three eyes, three eyes
You got three eyes, three eyes, three eyes
You got three eyes, but you can never see I's
You got three eyes, three eyes, three eyes
You got three eyes, three eyes, three eyes
You got three eyes, three eyes, three eyes
You got three eyes, but you can never see I's

This is literally the song that first led me down the rabbit hole of consciousness. 11 years later and we still here! To everyone who sees this message, stay blessed and keep your third eye open! No man is safe from the war going on outside...

This song is the absolute best explanation of reality and the psychedelic experience. "my synapses act like lightening, probably why i'm so enlightening." and more-over "We in a space where matter don't matter, just spirit molecules and geometric patterns" this nigga is the truth 

Peter 4 2 Liter

Ab-Soul has so much range as an artist. I put Ab-Soul in a category with Jay Z and Ras Kass as MCs who can make a wide variety of records and not come off forced or wack.
You can hear how he blends with every member in the Black Hippy crew, he unlocks the best in all of them. It's upsetting that people sleep on how dope this guy is. Dudes a genius.
