Hallucinogenics
Matt Maeson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trippin' on hallucinogenics
My cigarette burnt my finger
'Cause I forgot I lit it
Rippin' with my sinners
'Cause fuck it, man, I ain't no beginner
And then I crawled back to the life
'Cause I just couldn't open up
I'm always shiftin'
Go find yourself a man
Who's strong and tall and Christian
Pushing past the limit
Trippin' on hallucinogenics
My cigarette burnt my finger
'Cause I forgot I lit it
Drunken in Seattle
Two more Xans and without a paddle
I don't remember your face
Or your hair, or your name, or your smile
'Cause I just couldn't open up
I'm always shiftin'
Go find yourself a man
Who's strong and tall and Christian
Pushing past the limit
Trippin' on hallucinogenics
And then I crawled back to the life
That I said I wouldn't live in
'Cause I carried on like the wayward son
And now through and through, I've come undone
And now I am just but the wayward man
What with my bloodshot eyes and my shaky hand
'Cause I carried on like the wayward son
And now through and through, I've come undone
And now I am just but the wayward man
What with my bloodshot eyes and my shaky hand
Pushing past the limit
Trippin' on hallucinogenics
My cigarette burnt my finger
'Cause I forgot I lit it
The lyrics to Matt Maeson's song Hallucinogenics speak to his struggle with drug addiction and his inability to open up emotionally. The song starts with him pushing past his limit and tripping on drugs, causing him to burn his finger on his cigarette. He then admits to hanging out with his "sinners" because he is not a beginner and can handle it. Even though he said he wouldn't live that lifestyle again, he found himself crawling back to it. He acknowledges that he has difficulty opening up emotionally and encourages someone to find themselves a man who is "strong and tall and Christian," perhaps in contrast to his own self-perceived weaknesses.
Maeson then references a time in Seattle where he got drunk and took Xanax pills, leading to him being unable to remember certain aspects of a person's appearance. He then repeats the same advice to find someone who is "strong and tall and Christian," indicating his own struggles with addiction and emotional vulnerability.
The chorus repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the cycle of drug use and the difficulty of breaking free from addiction. Maeson reflects on his own life and mistakes, admitting that he has been "the wayward son" and is now "just but the wayward man," with bloodshot eyes and a shaky hand, perhaps indicating the toll that his addiction has taken on him. Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of struggle and the inability to break free from destructive patterns.
