Deep in the woods of western Pennsylvania vocoders hum amongst the flowers and synths bubble under the leaf-strewn ground while flutes whistle in the wind and beats bounce to the soft drizzle of a warm acid rain. As the sun peeks out from between the clouds, the organic aural concoction of Black Moth Super Rainbow starts to glisten above the trees.
Iron Lemonade
Black Moth Super Rainbow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Neon lemonade, eat my face away
Iron lemonade, wash my friends away
Neon lemonade, eat my face away
Iron lemonade, wash my friends away
Neon lemonade, eat my face away
Iron lemonade, wash my friends away
Interpreting these lyrics is a bit of a challenge, as Black Moth Super Rainbow is known for their abstract and surreal lyrics. However, the song seems to be about a dangerous and destructive force, represented by the "iron lemonade" and "neon lemonade." These substances are personified as actively washing away the singer's friends and eating away at their face.
The repeated use of the phrase "wash my friends away" suggests that the singer has a certain level of detachment or indifference towards their relationships, possibly due to this destructive force that they have come under the influence of. The metaphorical imagery of lemonade - usually a refreshing and harmless drink - being used in such a negative way adds to the unsettling feeling of the song.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of danger and unease, with the repeated phrases adding to the hypnotic, almost trance-like quality of the song as a whole.

I've never done any hallucinogenic drug and I don't like pot... I still love this song and band. I wish people would stop classifying this band as a "stoner band"

you can be ''a stoner'' and not do drugs. the perceptions of others is not important. you can find your own transcendence & groove to your own vibe, don't have to use substances. it is all in the mind's perceptions. shift yours. try sensory deprivation. in the dark. you will ''trip'' just as you are, nothing added.
