In dope we trust
Tsatthoggua Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Essence that grows in paradise
Created to enhance our eyes
Senses twist and paralyse
Angles loud and colours wide

Opens wide those doors of mind
Tears apart society's crust
Fuck off world - in dope we trust

Expanding lust and creativity
I have seen this agony
Change myself to stranger thoughts
To celebrate Dionysos' songs

Shout it out with us - In dope we trust

The first few lines suggest that the use of drugs can enhance our senses and provide a greater understanding of the world around us.
