Two of their songs appeared on the Beavis & Butthead TV Show, Tank and School's For Fools. They released one major label album in 1992 called The Silent Majority. Although no other albums have been produced since, LSD still has a huge cult following, largely due to a sound that can be in retrospect considered quite ahead of its time.

TRAIN
Life Sex & Death Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't see the things I see
You just play your make believe
You don't even seem to care
All you do is paint your hair
So I be singing
Ride gypsy ride!
Ride gypsy ride!
On the lost gypsy train
Whoo!
You rave about your B52s
You run wild in your pink Converse shoes
You think it's cool to shave your head
Well, I think it's cool to think instead
So I be singing
Ride gypsy ride!
Ride gypsy ride!
Ride gypsy ride!
On the lost gypsy train
And I be singing
Ride gypsy ride!
I be singing
Ride gypsy ride!
I be singing
Ride gypsy ride!
On the lost gypsy train
On the lost gypsy train
The Life Sex & Death's song "Train" is a powerful and introspective reflection on pain, desperation and the hope for a way out. The lyrics suggest a deep sense of longing to escape a situation that seems to be unending and overwhelming. The singer wonders whether the sunlight will be bright enough to dissipate the shadows of pain and lead them to a better future. They long for a solution and a guide that can show them the way out of the despair they feel trapped within.
The singer also expresses their sense of confusion and frustration and their inability to comprehend the nature of the pain that they are experiencing. They are searching for a silver lining that seems to be absent, and feel that they cannot move forward if the pain and hurt never come to an end. The only way they feel they can cope is by escaping through their writing, but even then, they feel trapped by the tracks they are on and the fear of jumping.
Despite all of this, the singer still holds onto hope and believes that they can win their fight against desperation and pain. They believe that with the right tools and mindset, they can derail the desperation train and find a way out. They urge the listener to join them in this fight and to hold tight together to face their challenges.
