03/07/2006 | I love this song. And I don't think it's about drugs. I think with many of these songs, the highs and surrealism depicted in the lyrics are metaphors for something else.
Eight miles high and when you touch down
Youll find that its stranger than known
Signs in the street that say where youre going
Are somewhere just being their own
Nowhere is there warmth to be found
Among those afraid of losing their ground
Rain gray town known for its sound
In places small faces unbound
Round the squares huddled in storms
Some laughing some just shapeless forms
Sidewalk scenes and black limousines
Some living some standing alone
I don't think there's strict meaning to this song. I think it simply reflects a view of your surroudings going through the whole experience of transformation as defined by the time, yes, including the drugs, but also spiritual exploration, politics, and sensualism (not necessarily sexual). I think it's too easy to say, "these lyrics sound spacey. It's a drug song."
