Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds

2,5-dimethoxy-4-chloroamphetamine aka DOC definately gave me the most intense hallucinogenic drug trip of my life. On a dose of just a few milligrams, ingested 9pm on a Friday night. First the world started breathing and morphing, everything was just fun. Then before I knew it every memory, idea and experience I had ever had was coming at me simultaneously. The feelings it aroused were so alien, as if my mind was in another dimension, another time. Then my life became a puzzle, the pieces were everywhere and I was reliving the same moment trying to put them back together. At some point I had just figured that the space-time continuum was destroyed and I existed as nothing. The next morning I found myself in my room, in bed with the sheets and blankets torn off, the door was locked. All that flowed through my mind now was "what the fuck just happened", still nothing was real. I called the friends I was with the night prior, asked them if they were still alive and begged them to pick me up. I felt like I had lost a part of myself in another dimension, I failed to put my life together. Feelings of lethargy and visual distortions remained much of the next day and I was not able to sleep until taking some diphenhydramine at 10pm Saturday night.

.... a girl with kaleidiscope eyes....

picture yourself in a boat on a river
with tangerene trees, and marmalade skiiiies

what a way to open a song

oh, and i heard it was johns kid that drew the drawing not pauls, but like solistus said its probably incorporates lsd as well as the picture, and who knows what else. john lennons lyrics are so beautifully abstract it doesnt matter what the song is about it just matters that it sounds right.

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And sheâ??s gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And youâ??re gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle,
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes.


made some of the obvious things bold :D

it was a picture drawn by julian lennon, john lennon's son.

good job but theres obviously references to LSD in it a song can be about more than one thing ever heard of symbolism? try taking a creative writing course. what the fuck im in high school and know this shit god damn.
