LSD
Danny Rampling Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

'I believe with the advent of acid. We discovered new ways to think and it has to do with piecing together new thoughts of mind. Why is it that people are so afraid of it? What is it about it that scares people so deeply? Because they are afraid that there is more to reality than they have ever confronted. That there are doors that they are afraid to go in and they don't want us to go in there either because if we go in, there we might learn something that they don't know. And that makes us a little out of their control.'




Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Danny Rampling's song Lsd provide a thought-provoking insight into the effects and implications of taking the hallucinogenic drug, LSD. The lyrics suggest that the experience of taking LSD can lead to a new way of thinking and piecing together thoughts that were previously unknown or inaccessible. The subsequent lines suggest that people's fear of LSD is due to their apprehension towards confronting truth and reality, especially the possibility that there are undiscovered "doors" and "realities" that they have never encountered. The final line implies that those in power fear losing control over individuals who may gather insight and knowledge through the use of LSD.


These lyrics can be seen as a commentary on the societal norms of the time, where taking drugs such as LSD was considered a taboo and a threat to the established order. The lyrics suggest that this fear was fueled by those in power who did not want individuals to gain access to any information or perspective that challenged their authority. Additionally, the lyrics reflect a larger societal reluctance to confront and engage with new ideas and experiences, indicating a fear of the unknown and a desire to maintain the status quo.
