Tie Dye Dragon
Tie Dye Dragon: Unraveling Life's Psychedelic Tapestry
Lyrics
I was on LSD when I saved that family
I was under the influence of LSD when I rescued that family
And I was on LSD at all the talk shows after
I was still on LSD during all the talk shows that followed
Cause Jackie slapped me at a family party last year
Jackie physically confronted me at a family party a year ago
He mumbled something, I mumbled something back
During the confrontation, unclear words were exchanged
Neither of us said anything after that
Both parties remained silent after the exchange
Neither of us said anything after that
-Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Repetition emphasizing the speaker's identity as a tie dye dragon
I'm just a tie dye dragon
-Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
-I'm just a tie dye dragon
-Back at school I was anxious
While at school, the speaker felt anxious
Played it cool, let other people do the stressing for me
Handled situations casually, allowing others to stress for them
I'm a fool to feel anxious
Realization of foolishness in feeling anxious
When something dies that's it, it's dead, I gotta let it be
Acceptance of the finality of things that end
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Repetition reinforcing the tie dye dragon identity
I'm just a tie dye dragon
-Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
-I'm just a tie dye dragon
-Guided by a confused lie
Guidance and perception described through a confused light
I am guided by a confused light
-I see the future in mysterious ways
-I'm just a tie dye dragon
-I guess I'm older now
Acknowledgment of aging and being caught between identities
I guess I'm older now
-I am caught in between who I am and who I'm supposed to be
The speaker is conflicted about their true self
Everything's confusing
Emphasis on the pervasive confusion in the speaker's life
Everything's confusing
-Everything's confusing
-Everything's confusing
-Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Repetition underscoring the tie dye dragon identity
I'm just a tie dye dragon
-Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
-I'm just a tie dye dragon
-Guided by a confused lie
Continued reference to being guided by a confused light
I am guided by a confused light
-I see the future in mysterious ways
-I'm just a tie dye dragon
Reiteration of the tie dye dragon identity
