I Got High
Euphoric Reflections: I Got High with Clem Snide
Lyrics
I got high with a Sufjan Stevens fan in Normal, Illinois
I shared a moment of getting high with a fan of Sufjan Stevens in Normal, Illinois.
And this song goes out to all you beautiful
The song is dedicated to all beautiful American girls and boys.
American girls and boys
Reiteration of the dedication to American youth.
Strange colored shots between the beers
Unusual shots amid beers are consumed.
The earth is flat least 'round here
An assertion that, in this context, the Earth seems flat.
__ not faith but fear will see us through
The journey is driven by fear, not faith.
As we mow the grass off interstates
Mowing grass off interstates, possibly a metaphor for clearing paths.
Go slow not fast, golden gates
Emphasis on taking things slowly, symbolizing a careful approach.
There is no past but heart's still ache
The absence of a defined past, but hearts still carry pain.
For that first kiss, for that first kiss
Nostalgia for the emotional intensity of a first kiss.
I got high with a Sufjan Stevens fan in Normal, Illinois
Repetition of the experience of getting high with a Sufjan Stevens fan.
And this song goes out to all you beautiful

American girls and boys

With hearts too young to euthanize
Reference to hearts too young to give up on life.
With hungry pounding blood-shot eyes
Describing the intense, passionate gaze of youthful eyes.
Like censored porn, we comprise on what to watch
Comparison to censored porn, suggesting societal constraints on choices.
The shopping carts go floating past
Observation of shopping carts moving without clear direction.
Branches scarping against the glass
Imagery of branches scraping against glass, possibly symbolizing obstacles.
The Robotussin quickly stashed
Robotussin is hidden quickly, possibly indicating a desire to prolong a state of altered perception.
To make it last, to make it last
The act of hiding it is to make the experience last.
