I was just wondering if anybody has ever taken a drug that really took them out of this world, like the song or like an Alice in Wonderland type thing, if you have can you tell me what drug, how much, and describe the trip.
I think DMT might be something like that.
well seeing how Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is about LSD
you about a nice dose of LSD???
Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds actually is not about LSD
Sure it isn't, John Lennon. Sure it isn't.
have you listened to the words in the song?
its about a picture that some kid drew
why do people always assume songs only have one narrowly defined meaning? My theory is that the song is both about LSD and inspired by the picture... It's not a coincidence that the line "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" has the letters L-S-D. Given that the song was released in 1967 and Lennon and others first used LSD in 1965, and given that the lyrics of the song go well beyond describing a simple picture and are loaded with what sounds like descriptions of psychedelic visuals, I think it's pretty hard to argue that Hoffman's problem child wasn't in mind when this song was written.
Anyway, you're probably right; DMT is among the most visually intense psychoactive substances out there. LSD could lead to this sort of experience, too, although many feel that any visuals an LSD trip may include are minor sidenotes at best to the more abstract elements of the psychedelic state.
Paul McCartney's son brought a picture home that he drew in kindergarten, and Paul asked him what it was, and his child said that it was "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". Lucy was one of the kid's classmates.
I do agree though that many of the lyrics sound drug-induced.
Actually Paul Mccartney admitted a year or so ago that the song was in fact about LSD.
who cares its a good song
in fact im going to put it onn now
