Acid Mysticism Allusions by Other Rock Artists

An intensely dark album. This is the first Scorpions album, based in Krautrock, which was influenced by LSD. The album includes the guitarist's brother Michael Schenker, who was on UFO albums including the early, Acid Rock albums such as Fly to the Rainbow and the compilation Space Metal. UFO was named after the Psychedelic Rock club UFO.

>Walking through the desert

>Hearing Nazi bells ringing from the church to farm

>That was never there

>Imagine I'm in heaven, but it is a hell

>Sun is drying out my brain

>The smile and installations are my pain

>I'm going mad

>Aaaayowwww!!!

>the "sun is drying out my brain" is spoken in such a way that it can be heard (as i heard it first) as: "Sir, destroy not my brain!". This statement is made as the utter helplessness of oneself in relation to God/Sir is recognized. the next line also sounds quite a bit as there's something hidden. Perhaps one of you can find out? Anyway, is there such a site which is dedicated to show hidden lyrics?

I doubt it, other than my work on double allusions.

>Are other Scorpions albums also in the vein of egodeath?

Not really, though there might be an isolated song or two, but go back to their roots in early UFO and you'll find a strong psychedelics influence, as part of the Krautrock genre. I doubt there are many lyric lines that fit into the 12 or so thematic categories I defined. Synthetic manic depression resulting from LSD use is one such category.

Blue Oyster Cult: "Black Blade" Studio wizardry trade/trip

I suppose a poisonous blue oyster would be a dose of acid.

I may post annotations later. Album: Cultosaurus Erectus, by Blue Oyster Cult. Song: Black Blade, 1980.

http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=Aad867uu0h0j0

"That wizardry's my trade" ends "trip" -- the p sounds just like Rush's digitally inserted 'p' in "burning p hotter" on the song Chemistry, 1982. The same 'p' converts "trade" and "burning hot" to "trip" and "burning pot".

Black Blade

I have this feeling that my luck is none too good

This sword here at my side don't act the way it should

Keeps calling me its master, but I feel like its slave

Hauling me faster and faster to an early, early grave

And it howls! It howls like hell!

I'm told it's my duty to fight against the law

That wizardry's my trade and I was born to wade through gore ['trade' is electronically patched to end as trip]

I just want to be a lover, not a red-eyed screaming ghoul

I wish it'd picked another to be its killing tool

Black Blade, Black Blade

Forged a billion years ago

Black Blade, Black Blade

Killing so its power can grow

It's death from the beginning to the end of time

And I'm the cosmic champion and I hold a mystic sign

And the whole world's dying and the burden's mine

And the black sword keeps on killing 'til the end of time

Black Blade, Black Blade

Bringing chaos to the world we know

Black Blade, Black Blade

And it's using me to kill my friends ['kill' is orally bent to cure]

Black Blade, Black Blade

Getting stronger so the world will end

Black Blade, Black Blade

Forcing my mind to bend and bend

[vocorder:]

I am the Black Blade

Forged a million billion years ago

My cosmic soul it goes on for eternity

Carving out destiny

Bringing in the Lords of Chaos

Bringing up the Beasts of Hades

Sucking out the souls of heroes

Laying waste to knights and ladies

My master is my slave

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

You poor f*ck*ng humans [on fadeout]

>Black Blade, Black Blade

>Bringing chaos to the world we know

>Black Blade, Black Blade

>And it's using me to kill my friends

Listen to the word 'kill'. It is slopped for double-pronounciation so that it can just as well be heard "cure", the opposite: "And it's using me to cure my friends"

I may upload the "kill/cure" snippet and the "trade/trip" snippet.

The album reviews at Allmusic.com -- doubtful by any standard -- completely miss this entire dimension of the music and how it should be judged and recognized as a shared communication among artists, as Rock hierophants in the authentic mystery religion of the late 20th Century.

Cheap Trick: "Way of the World", from Dream Police

They say that Cheap Trick is Power Pop. Now we find that Power Pop plays with innocence, having transcended it.

I was minding my own business listening to Cheap Trick when I heard tape-reel flanging and then these lyrics against violins climbing steeper and steeper:

Remember, you were at work and then Friday at five

I remember, felt like a pawn, was I dead or alive?

I remember, thought no one could hear me, I was goin' insane.

I remember, it was a real fine line, now you've changed my life around.

I've been runnin', I've been hidin', it's the way of the world.

You say it's over, but the world keeps turnin' 'round.

I recognized the call of peak experience. Flanging is a quintessential Psychedelic Rock effect. These lyrics occur 2/3 into the song, at the built-up peak of the song. The music is constructed so that this part of the song acts as the peak.

The pivotal words are "it was a real fine line, now you've changed my life around".

What the heck was "it was a real fine line"? What an odd lyric, utterly lacking the contextual explanation one would expect; context is oddly absent. It's the virtual complete loss of control during the peak window of the mystic altered state.

Who the heck is "you"? Some woman? It's the savior and cosmic ruler who could have made him lose control, but took the impact himself, killing the ego delusion identification instead.

What the heck "is over"? Some ordinary personal relationship? It's one's life as a stable freewilling self-control agent, and that whole worldmodel of time, self, perception, and control.

I listened to the rest of the song and it seemed more innocent so I thought of the interesting idea of putting a full-on heavily innuendoish passage in the middle of an otherwise perfectly innocent song.

This kind of contrast is done in Metallica's song about the battle on the hill; the first verse is completely innocent of double- entendres and the second is full-on altered-state allusive. This technique uses contrast and incongruity itself to point all the more strongly to the double-entendres.

That peak of the Cheap Trick song kept haunting me. I know the trumpet of the master when I hear it. I researched the lyrics, and sure enough, it is an acid rock mysticism song; it is High Classic Rock.

The rest of the album warrants inspection. "my ambition, a secret's a secret, a hint or clue, but if you really want to know there's only two things you got to do, it's something irresistible... mother!" What are the two things? Ingest the flesh of Christ, and kneel in sacrifice of your freewill ego.

I saw the Dream Police tour in a small concert hall in 1979. A year ago, the guitarist, Rick Nielsen, bought a tiny little 1950s tube amp of mine for use on the tour bus.

Below, I have marked the key (*) and most key (**) double-entendre phrases that refer to ego-death related phenomena of the mystic altered state.

Album: Dream Police

Song: Way of the World

By Robin Zander and Rick Nielsen

It's the way of the world...

Remember

you were in school and I followed you home.

I remember,

didn't think I existed** but we're comin' together right now*.

I've been runnin', I've been hidin*', it's the way of the world.

You say it's over*, but the world keeps turnin' 'round*.

Remember,

I knew I'd be good for you.

No one better remember*,

really meant what I said, wanna be your lover right now*.

I've been runnin', I've been hidin', it's the way of the world.

You say it's over, but the world keeps turnin' 'round.

World goes round, life goes on*, and on, and on.

You say it's over, but the world keeps turnin' round.

It's the way of the world. [tape flanging on the word "world" 2:05-

2:10]

Remember,

You were at work and then Friday at five*,

I remember, felt like a pawn**, was I dead or alive**?

I remember, thought no one could hear me**, I was goin' insane**.

I remember, it was a real fine line**, now you've changed my life

around**.

[from "felt like a pawn" through "changed my life around", violins

play higher and higher notes, building up tension to a climax and

release]

I've been runnin', I've been hidin', it's the way of the world.

You say it's over, but the world keeps turnin' 'round.

World goes round, life goes on, and on, and on.

World goes 'round, (I've been runnin')

World is round (I've been hidin')

Life goes on and on and on ((It's the way of the world).

Correct lyrics to supplement the above:

http://www.cheaptrick.com/theworld.html

Remember you were in school and I followed you home.

I remember, didn't think I existed but we're comin' together right now.

I've been runnin', I've been hidin', it's the way of the world.

You say it's over, but the world keeps turnin' 'round.

Remember, I knew I'd be good for you.

No one better remember, really meant what I said, wanna be your lover right now.

I've been runnin', I've been hidin', it's the way of the world.

You say it's over, but the world keeps turnin' 'round.

World goes round, life goes on, and on, and on.

You say it's over, but the world keeps turnin' round.

It's the way of the world.

[through the next verse, there are climbing psycho violins combined with psychedelic tape-based phasing]

Remember, you were at work and then Friday at five,

I remember, felt like a pawn, was I dead or alive?

I remember, thought no one could hear me, I was goin' insane.

I remember, it was a real fine line, now you've changed my life around.

I've been runnin', I've been hidin', it's the way of the world.

You say it's over, but the world keeps turnin' 'round.

World goes round, life goes on, and on, and on.

World goes 'round, (I've been runnin')

World is round (I've been hidin')

Life goes on and on and on ((It's the way of the world).

After spending some time, I haven't found an efficient site with a complete set of lyrics to evaluate the neighboring albums, but Dream Police is an acid-encoding album, in about half the songs.

The cover shows the band in heaven with white Greek columns, in white suits (police outfits) holding guns and a white chainsaw. The drummer appears to be wearing a sword. They have terminated a dummy. The usual crappy quality CD case prevents a closer inspection. On the back it appears that the guitarist is blowing smoke away from his finger, having shot the singer dead.

The album has heavy overtones of the band ELO, and both bands are connected to the Beatles.

Compare the men in white suits dragging away the guitarist of Rush in an altered-state mental seizure, in the 1974 live insert disk in a recent double live compilation.

Some double-entendre lyrics that become electric prods and triggers when received in the mystic altered state:

You got me thinkin', thinkin' what I'll do,

You get me so excited, I'm not sure what I'm gonna do.

Tomorrow you won't be here, and I don't expect you to.

Tonight is all I really want, I really want from you.

You make me crazy, I'm doin' crazy things, oh yeah.

Tonight when I first saw you I knew it had to be,

Why'd you have to be so right for me?

Though you're not my first love, you just might be my last.

My heart is poundin' like a drum

The dream police, they're coming to arrest me, oh no.

You know that talk is cheap, and those rumors ain't nice.

And when I fall asleep I don't think I'll survive the night.

'Cause they're waiting for me.

They're looking for me.

Ev'ry single night they're driving me insane.

Those men inside my brain.

I try to sleep, they're wide awake, they won't leave me alone.

They spy on me, I try to hide, they won't let me alone.

They persecute me, they're the judge and jury all in one.

The dream police, they live inside of my head.

The dream police, they're coming to arrest me.

I know, you know something's wrong,

Still, I gotta go home.

Heavy, heavy, heavy troubles,

Troubles yeah, I can't explain what I can't see.

We heard, we heard, sounded like the end of the world.

I know, you know my world is in a spin,

You wanna come on in?

Eddie Money: "I Think I'm In Love"

Heard upon leaving a pizza place in an upscale mall: "It surrounds me, ooh, like a sea of madness -- It controls me, makes me do all the things I do for you -- On my mind babe, thinkin' about you now -- And I don't know if I'll make it through the night."

Struggling to hang on through the night is a classic acid-rock theme.

_________

Eddie Money, "I Think I'm In Love"

Ooh, something's got a hold of me now

It's a feeling, burnin' up like I'm on fire

Hold me tight babe, don't leave me by myself tonight

'Cause I don't think I can make it through the night

CHORUS:

I think I'm in love

And my life's lookin' up

I think I'm in love

'Cause I can't get enough

I think I'm in love

It's gotta be love

It surrounds me, ooh, like a sea of madness

It controls me, makes me do all the things I do for you

On my mind babe, thinkin' about you now

And I don't know if I'll make it through the night

CHORUS

I think I'm in love and love's enough

CHORUS

Baby help me do it

There must be something to it

I know it's gotta be love

New Acid Rock/Metal

I've started to want to look for genuine Christian acid rock. This looks like it may be in the ballpark. Some weird things are going on in contemporary Christian "Hard Music". Take some clueless Christian kids who are in a Hard Music band, add entheogens, and you will sooner or later end up with lyrics of first-hand Christ experience, predestination, cybernetic slavehood, cancellation of sin, true humility, fear of God, praise of the holy spirit, the second coming and last judgment, and so on.

Info about the album Lateralus - "the latest chapter in their musical self-discovery in Lateralus. Make no mistake, this is a prog rock record, reminiscent back to the times of King Crimson and Meddle-era Pink Floyd, with a hint of Rush mutated with Tool's signature sonic assault on the ears. Lateralus demands close listening from the first piece onward, as it becomes quickly apparent that this is not going to be an album one can listen to and accept at face value. Complex rhythm changes, haunting vocals, and an onslaught of changes in dynamics make this an album other so-called metal groups could learn from."

http://toolshed.down.net/lyrics/latmaster.html

Lyrics for album Lateralus by artist Tool.

http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=B2e6qoatabijz~C

Info about artist Tool. "Art-rock post-thrash Metal."

I see high density of candidates for mystic altered state allusions and double-entendres in the lyrics for this album.

The song mentioned is titled "Reflection". Here are more entheogenic-state allusions:

I have come curiously close to the end, down

Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole,

Defeated, I concede

From song "Lateralus":

As below, so above and beyond, I imagine

drawn beyond the lines of reason.

Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.

...I must

Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.

Reaching out to embrace the random.

Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire to... feel connected

enough to step aside and weep like a widow

to feel inspired, to fathom the power,

to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,

to swing on the spiral

of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I lose myself

between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,

I feel it move across my skin.

I'm reaching up and reaching out,

I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.

And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.

We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

From "The Grudge" [with allusion-pointers]

crown of negativity [king - not]

Calculate what we will [calculate about will]

Desperate to control all and everything. [control]

Unable to forgive

prison cell

be humbled [null power]

Lifts you up like a child or [lift up part of self]

Drags you down like a stone [belittle, pin down part of self]

To consume you till you choose to let this go.

Let the oceans take and transmutate this cold and fated anchor. [fate]

Let go.

From "Parabola":

We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,

We are choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside

This holy reality, this holy experience.

Twirling round with this familiar parable.

Spinning, weaving round each new experience.

Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing."

>>I've been wondering if you are a fan of Pearl Jam or Tool. For my money, these are two of the very few bands that "matter" these days.

Heavy entheogen use (high dosage, often, such as pot with acid twice a week) is the normal and ubiquitous house religion of Rock, especially of Heavy Rock.

>>Especially in Tool's most recent album, Lateralus, there is a heavy entheogen influence, and several of Pearl Jam's songs over the years seemed to me to have this influence as well. Even the name "Pearl Jam" is supposedly from jam that Eddie Vedder's aunt or grandmother (named Pearl) made that contained peyote or mushrooms.

>>Danny Carey, who is the drummer for Tool, is right up there with Neil Peart when it comes to drumming -- awesome.

>>Since you seem to be interested in instances of your theories mentioned in rock lyrics, the band Tool's most recent album, Lateralus, has the best instances of ego transcendence/LSD experience references in any popular music.

There are references to mysticism throughout, but Reflection is most blatantly about LSD experience/egodeath.

Lateralus (2001)

Reflection

I have come curiously close to the end, down

Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole,

Defeated, I concede and

Move closer

I may find comfort here

I may find peace within the emptiness

How pitiful

It's calling me...

And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping

The moon tells me a secret - my confidant

As full and bright as I am

This light is not my own and

A million light reflections pass over me

Its source is bright and endless

She resuscitates the hopeless

Without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting

And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt

Don't wanna be down here feeding my narcissism.

I must crucify the ego before it's far too late

I pray the light lifts me out

Before I pine away.

So crucify the ego, before it's far too late

To leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical,

And you will come to find that we are all one mind

Capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable.

Just let the light touch you

And let the words spill through

And let them pass right through

Bringing out our hope and reason ...

before we pine away.

>>>This is a fascinating album in 4 "phases" by Porcupine Tree. I highly recommend it, there are many interesting concepts presented therein, most taken from LSD propaganda audio clips from various people. Let me know what everyone thinks.

Porcupine Tree:

The album "Voyage 33":

http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=Awnjxlf3ekcqu -- "Voyage 34, originally a two-volume EP series from 1992-1993, was expanded into "The Complete Trip" after Steven Wilson remixed and added production for its eventual re-release seven years later. Documenting the ill effects of an acid trip by a frequent user (the first 33 were fine), the four-phase work begins with a straight-laced narrator explaining the events leading up to the trip, with straight-ahead (though slightly exploratory) guitar work by Wilson over a mid-tempo drum section. Thankfully, the album gradually moves into more ambient climes, with trippy vocal samples framing the mood throughout the final phases. Including a thick booklet with most of the narration repeated alongside surreal artwork, Voyage 34: The Complete Trip is a bit self-serious and pseudo-mystical even without the music to add to it, an intriguing experiment but hardly a work to stand on its own." -- John Bush

One must consider AMG as just a single data point, totally insufficient and possibly stray (invalid).

>>AMG [stupidly] gave Camel's "I Can See Your House From Here" 4.5 stars and a Check. They gave Happy Go Licky's "Will Play" 2.5 stars. Their reviews are hardly reliable, sorry.

Evanescence: "Bring Me To Life", from _Fallen_

http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=Abmev97edkrat

Album info: Fallen

I haven't heard this album, so couldn't do the best analysis. The following lyrics seem most clearly related to the mystic altered state phenomena. I should post analysis notes here, but you should be able to easily spot the thematic patterns I've covered in previous postings about Rock lyrics alluding to the phenomena of the mystic altered state.

I have covered these themes thoroughly and will not write much more on the subject, though I will continue to draw vocabulary from lyrics; it's part of how I think, and altered-state Rock lyrics remain the closest the modern era has come to ancient myth-religion poetry and literature, acting as the best and surest bridge between the modern and ancient world.

The line "You must be sacrificed" alludes to ideas of human/divine mediation, conflict of power realms, and ego-sacrifice.

Bring Me To Life

How can you see into my eyes like open doors?

Leading you down into my core

Where I've become so numb

Without a soul

My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold

Until you find it there and lead it back home

[Chorus]

(wake me up) Wake me up inside

(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside

(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark

(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run

(I can't wake up) Before I come undone

(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become

Now that I know what I'm without

You can't just leave me

Breathe into me and (make me real)

Bring me

To life

[Repeat Chorus]

(Bring me to life)

(Ive been living a lie...Theres nothing inside)

(Bring me to life)

Frozen inside without your touch

Without your love, darling

Only you are the life among the dead

(All of this I, I can't believe I couldn't see

Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me)

Ive been sleeping a thousand years it seems

Got to open my eyes to everything

(Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul)

(Dont let me die here)(You must be sacrificed)

Bring me to life

[Repeat Chorus]

Bring me to life

(I've been living a lie... There's nothing inside)

Bring me to life

_________________________

From the middle of "Going Under":

blurring and stirring the truth and the lies

so I don't know what's real and what's not

always confusing the thoughts in my head

so I can't trust myself anymore

I'm dying again

I'm going under

drowning in you

I'm falling forever

I've got to break through

I don't know why the literalist Christians are objecting to this music.

In Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) fashion, it is best described as acid-oriented Rock, which has a strong connection to genuine mystical Christianity, which has always been at odds with official Christianity since about the year 313, when official Christianity was invented.

It is certain that some number of Christian Rock songs are LSD-inspired. The only question is, how many?

The category of Christian Rock is largely fake and artificial, a sham, an illusory construct, a pretense. A veritable genre of rock songs by so-called "secular" groups is acid-inspired songs about Christ's saving effect. Such "secular" groups are higher than so-called "believing" Christian groups. A true Christian Rock song is Believer, by Ozzy Osbourne: "I'm a believer, I ain't no deceiver... destiny planned out... speculation of the wise."

Believe the tomb is empty, and you shall be saved. The body is a tomb; the soma is a sema.

Many Holy Spirit-inspired Rock groups want to have songs about mystical salvation through Jesus Christ but ditch the shallow moralism that the lowbrow Christian literalists mistake for the essential ethical aspect of Christianity.

Primal Fear: "Controlled", from _Black Sun_

>it's quite true that egodeath allusions are standard in heavy metal.

>in fact it's hard to find an album without any such allusions.

Acid and Metal (or Heavy Rock) are a marriage made in Heaven and Hell. Acid is Heaviness.

Supposely "harp" in the Bible is a mistranslation of something like "kitares", which is a kind of strummed, fretted lute -- therefore, the harps in heaven are actually guitars. Heaven is a big Acid Jam like one of those Grateful Dead songs that lasts for thousands of years.

Here are some Rabbinical exegeses to add to yours.

>WE ARE FLOODED BY THIS MEDIA OVERKILL

{walls, floor, ceiling wave in the underwater fishbowl: visual distortion}

>INVOLUNTARY EDUCATION [hidden: one gets "educated" about one's

>situation as a controller, of course, one wants to back out, which is

>not possible, thus "involuntary education"]

{an education about how the voluntary will is actually timelessly frozen into the iron-block universe -- past, present, and future -- so that the voluntary is, from the high perspective, involuntary}

>MIND VIOLATION

{Rape of psyche by Zeus; rapture}

>TO OPPOSE THE SUPERVISION

{when one understands control transcendence too well, the mind reels, resisting and opposing too much vision}

{supervision = super-vision = meta-perception}

>NEW GENERATION

{all the mortal firstborn childselves die in the divinely coerced self-sacrifice, leaving the immortal second-born generation}

>BEWARE OF THE DANGER

{loose cognition is dangerous to the controller agent}

>YOU'RE CONTROLLED

{by the frozen spacetime block or Ground}

Camel: "Moonmadness", 1976

Someone recommended this as acid mysticism high classic rock.

The Association: "Windy"

Who's peekin' out

From under a stairway

Callin' a name

That's lighter than air

Who's bendin' down

To give me a rainbow

Everyone knows it's Windy

Who's trippin' down

The streets of the city

Smilin' at everybody she sees

Who's reachin' out

To capture a moment

Everyone knows it's Windy

And Windy has stormy eyes

That flash at the sound of lies

And Windy has wings to fly

Above the clouds

Lou Reed: "White Heat"

White light gonna drive me out of my brain

White light gonna make me feel so insane

White heat White shapin' them down to my toes

White light's got it now - goodness knows

White light gonna drive me out of my mind

White light's surely gonna make me blind

White heat - White shaping way down to my toes

White light could kill me now - goodness knows

Oh - Oh - White light

Oh - Oh - White heat

White light's a-flashing

White light

Still feels right

What's that sound - what's that sound

Don't turn on - be dead or alive

No feeling

Here she comes

Oww - yeah
