Doom
PERMA-TRIP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A Prophet of Doom
When all your visions
Are full of gloom
Prophet of Doom
Prophet of Doom
One day our world
Will be in ruin
The Queen of Spades
When all your visions
Are from the grave
Queen of Spades
Queen of Spades
One day your soul
The light will save
Is there love still in this world?
I don't know, John Lennon thought so
It's easy to be
The Prince of the Punks
When all your songs
Are tuned to junk
Prince of Punks
Prince of Punks
One day you'll be
A happy monk
Is there love still in this world?
I don't know, John Lennon thought so
Is there love still in this world?
I don't know, John Lennon thought so
I don't know, John Lennon thought so
John Lennon thought so
John Lennon thought so
It's easy to be
The Jack of Hearts
When all your visions
Are steeped in art
Jack of Hearts
Jack of Hearts
One day they'll tear your
Soul apart
The lyrics of "DOOM" by PERMA-TRIP delve into the various personas of individuals who hold contrasting perspectives on life and the world. The song starts by examining the role of a "Prophet of Doom," who easily embodies a negative outlook on the future, foreseeing nothing but destruction and chaos. This individual finds solace in the dark visions they perceive, ultimately predicting a world doomed to ruin. The repetition of the phrase "Prophet of Doom" emphasizes the conviction and certainty with which this persona views the impending downfall of society.
Moving on, the lyrics shift focus to the character of the "Queen of Spades," who similarly adopts a morbid and grim perspective in her visions. She is associated with the grave, suggesting a fascination with death and decay. Despite this, there is a glimmer of hope hinted at as it is mentioned that "one day your soul, the light will save." This juxtaposition of darkness and potential redemption adds complexity to the Queen of Spades' character, hinting at a possible transformation or revelation in the future.
The mention of John Lennon and his belief in love introduces a contrasting viewpoint amidst the pessimism portrayed in the song. The questioning of whether love still exists in the world reflects a sense of uncertainty and doubt. By referencing John Lennon's optimism regarding love, the lyrics suggest a counterbalance to the prevailing sense of doom presented by the earlier personas. This interjection serves to introduce a ray of hope and contemplation amid the prevailing themes of despair and darkness.
The song concludes by exploring the character of the "Jack of Hearts," who is described as being immersed in art and creativity. This figure, akin to a troubadour or artist, finds meaning and inspiration in their visions and works. However, the impending fate of having their "soul torn apart" hints at the vulnerability and potential downfall that come with such deep emotional investment in one's art. The lyrics overall present a nuanced exploration of various perspectives and attitudes towards life, ranging from doom and despair to love and artistic fulfillment, ultimately leaving the listener to ponder the complexities of human experience and emotion.

Psychedelic rules:
1. The basics you always hear - don’t trip completely alone , know your dosage, don’t trip with shitty friends, intention setting and prior mood will determine your trip, always test, etc
2. Open space even if it’s indoors, comfy couch or bed nearby, minimal clutter, get things clean first. Snacks water everything you need should be within arms reach, easy to use, non spill
3. Don’t worry about when the trip ends trust me, act like a tourist. Learn their customs explore the land and stay open minded. if I’m anxious about time I wear a watch (not recommended for beginners - I do this when I’m trip sitting especially)
4. Have something to stimulate yourself during, finger painting really works but journaling or music if you’re more coherent is also great
4. Take good care of yourself after. Do not abuse these tools. Trips should be taken sparingly, we all need to go home at some point!
ALSO there are trip killers. A common one is risperidone as as it’s probably already around you if you have an antipsychotic prescription. Pls research how to specifically use but if anything seems to go too south they can be helpful in an emergency when used correctly. If you are trip sitting find a way to get a trip killer.
Always do research first, both online and through experienced people you can try to meet.
Safe travels

i did salvia like 3 years ago when I was 17 and was one of the weirdest experiences in my life.
in my trip I got into a train which railroad was pointing to the salvia godess. Se was smiling at me in a creepy way like saying "do you really think you are worthy enough to be in this place".
The whole dimension felt sacred and she was laughing at me for being so Brave to get un there. The salvia face was in the vortex where the Matrix was collapsing and the railroad two paralel lines where part of the Matrix fabric, bending like a zipper.
Clown like kid puppets where at both sides also looking at me and saying (with no Words by the way) that i wasnt Brave enough to go through the vortex. They were quite right because i pulled a lever and stoped the train. I opened my eyes and the trip started diluting
i stayed for months without repeating the trip but the following tries felt the same, like sacred
in the last one i was literally kidnaped by those same creepy sacred alien clownsm But they where pretty friendly, they justo showed me their place like "well, if you insist, this is our home But don't get used to it you are a foreing guy"
each time that i remember these trips i acknowledge how deep they are. Behind the clowns and the god, behind all that creppy place there is your subsconcious mind and you have it there to read it
i personally learnt a lot about my deepest fears and expectations for my future life lol
sorry for the terrible english i am not a native

My buddy tried salvia
He said he was in a white room with a guy who kept trying to sell him something in a briefcase .
My buddy kept telling the guy he wasn’t interested over and over but said man kept insisting.
Finally my friend agrees to buy whatever he’s selling , and then the guy refused to sell it to him lol .
Another time I was with a friend who smoked it in a mcdonalds parking lot . He laughed non stop for around 5 minutes . Half way thru you could tell his laugh wasn’t him having a good time . It was creepy as hell

I recorded one of my salvia trips through my camera on computer, and as a stupid rookie, I had headphones on with the cord plugged into the computer.
Welll sure enough I instantly passed out (80x full .5 bowl in one pull, zeroed out!!!) and my neck got caught in the headphone loop.
I was choking as my body fell slumping to the ground my head (NECK) was caught in the loop , as I fell it pulled tighter and tighter.
I was recording it and talking (video chat) with a friend as he never saw anyone do it before.
So that’s how I know what happened.
It was recorded and my friend told me my face was turning blue. It was around the three minute mark I began to return to consciousness only to discover I was about to be rendered unconscious or possible dead in the next MINUTE if I don’t come out of it soon.
My friend said he had 911 dialed on his phone, but he was in a different COUNTRY, so he didn’t know what to do.
He was essentially watching me die .
I struggled with much difficulty trying to figure out what tf was going on.
Obviously I eventually made it out, but that was a VNDE.
It was a beautiful trip, while almost dying.
Listening to bob marley.
Salvia is crazy!

Tried it in college with my roommate in the dorms. I didn’t have an intense reaction but my roommate did. He forgot how to talk kinda like this guy and then bolted out the door and we had to chase him down. Led us down the road and almost got hit by a car. He came to in front of a Little Caesar’s and casually walked in and got a $5 hot and ready like nothing ever happened. One of the most bizarre things I’ve ever seen

Salvia is no joke, I had a buddy go insane and end up in psych ward for a month, tried to jump out the window while he was in there, and never fully recovered, he's just a shell of his former self....
It was really sad

My experience was terrifying. At first I was living in a clown city, full of clowns and the environment was clownish. I knew I was tripping and kept telling myself it will pass. Then the high wasn’t going away so I had convinced myself that I was trapped in that world that I had gone insane and I literally thought to myself that the outside me, my physical body was inside an asylum. The trip lasted like three minutes but felt like an eternity.

I would replace the word “frightening” with “fantastic”😂Clown City sounds like a blast!!!!!

My palms are sweating from reading that.. that's fucking horrific I'm sorry you experienced that
Daniel

i had a very hard ego death on salvia. I accepted my death and that it did not matter what i had done, i was dead and in the shadow realm. Then it morphed into a looping nightmare for what felt like an eternity.
edit: would also say that i've had positive experiences, but this one time it went way to far. I've seen myself in third person, looking down on my room while everything else outside of the room was dark. Like a 3d animated room. I've talked to entities who said i was not supposed to be there while looking at myself. I've ridden a rollercoaster with homer simpson in candyland, and i've woken up with several green men around me on a waggon filled with hay. Salvia is a weird man, lol
