Easy Riders Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every LSD experience is unique.

You might witness dramatic effects in you.

For example you may feel that you hear colors or see sounds, you also experience hallucinations.

On occasion people who take LSD have a bad trip, during which they experience nightmarish feelings of anxiety and despair.

Another potential drawback is that a few days or even after years after you use acid, you may experience flashbacks.
