LSD
Tripping Through the Unknown: Emma Beckett's LSD Revelations
Lyrics
Up the sketchy stairs
Ascending the questionable stairs
See the socks under the crack in the door
Observing socks peeking from under the door
A hug from a stranger
Receiving an embrace from an unfamiliar person
They say that they’re tripping on LSD
Claiming to be under the influence of LSD
A little insecure
Feeling a bit self-conscious
I don’t even know who this party is for
Uncertain about the purpose of this party
Covering up the lights with paper
Covering the lights with paper to conceal something
Can they see the red on me
Concerned about being visibly affected, perhaps by emotions
I know you don’t even like her
Aware that the person doesn't like someone else
So why are we tangoing tonight
Questioning the reason for engaging in a tango with that person
Don’t really feel sorry for her
Not particularly sympathetic but wishing for a positive experience
But I hope they have a
Interruption, leaving the sentence incomplete
Good trip there’s something dripping from the walls here
Noticing something unusual, possibly hallucinations
I miss when I could consider it before your fear interfered
Nostalgia for a time before fear influenced decisions
Good thinking I can feel this hopping off the rails too quickly
Acknowledging a sense of instability and chaos
But I wish I was a little more drunk if I’m being honest now
Expressing a desire for more intoxication
She picks a fight with you
Another person starts an argument
And I start to pick up on your side of it too
Aligning with the partner in the conflict
She’s feeding on pity she won’t get mine will she
Recognizing the other person's manipulative behavior
There’s something sad here
Sensing sadness in the atmosphere
Someone lost the cat
Someone lost a cat, symbolizing a loss or disappearance
There’s bodies and faces but no more than that
Presence of bodies and faces, but nothing more
They’re starting to float away think we should go
Suggesting a need to leave as things are getting strange
Could you call that cab
Requesting a cab for departure
I know you don’t even like her
Reiteration that the person doesn't like someone else
So why are we tangoing tonight
Questioning the reason for continuing the interaction
Don’t really feel sorry for her
Similar to line 11, lacking sympathy but hoping for a positive experience
But I hope they have a
Repetition of line 12, possibly emphasizing the interruption
Good trip there’s something dripping from the walls here
Reiteration of something dripping from the walls, implying surreal surroundings
I miss when I could consider it before your fear interfered
Reflecting on a time before fear influenced decisions
Good thinking I can feel this hopping off the rails too quickly
Acknowledging a sense of instability and chaos (similar to line 15)
But I wish I was a little more drunk if I’m being honest now
Expressing a desire for more intoxication (similar to line 16)
But I hope they have a
Repetition of line 28, reinforcing the wish for a positive experience
Good trip there’s something dripping from the walls here
Reiteration of surreal elements, something dripping from the walls
I miss when I could consider it before your fear interfered
Repetition of reflecting on a time before fear influenced decisions
Good thinking I can feel this hopping off the rails too quickly
Reiteration of acknowledging a sense of instability and chaos
But I wish I was a little more drunk if I’m being honest now
Repetition of expressing a desire for more intoxication
Good trip there’s something dripping from the walls here
Reiteration of surreal elements, something dripping from the walls
I miss when I could consider it before your fear interfered
Repetition of reflecting on a time before fear influenced decisions
Good thinking I can feel this hopping off the rails too quickly
Reiteration of acknowledging a sense of instability and chaos
But I wish I was a little more drunk if I’m being honest now
Repetition of expressing a desire for more intoxication
