I think drugs are excellent... obviously this is my opinion. I support anyone who choses to use or not to use drugs... personal freedom. Drugs can improve your life (they can also destroy it) and don't say they can't because I am living proof. I try and use drugs in a positive way, not just get all out of control, I use drugs to enhance my life while on and off a certain chemical. My outlook on life has basically been molded from the use of psychedelics, my mind is open. Stepping out of the world that you are so used to and realizing new realms is very exciting to me. All you have to do is not let drugs consume you, I don't revolve my life around drugs but involve drugs in my being. but it all comes down to your own choice, but I say why not and go for it all... free the odds.
Anyway on with Nevermore and drugs. I will put down songs that are either about drugs or make me think about certain chemicals... the list will be long hahaha.
First to [KOTNO]Narrot- yes Long Since Dark is referring to LSD, I think that is obvious... It was the Beatles Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds. Long Since Dark is dealing with an LSD experience, self realization and what not..
Nevermore- Nevermore
C.B.F- this song to me is about someone who abuses either Marijuana or crack... Fire I think is Warrel's term for smoking something. I think this song is about smoking crack or crystal meth and over using it. About how you shouldnt abuse chemicals.
Garden of Gray-
This song is great, one of my favs on S/T. reaching ecstacy using acid is what this song makes me think of. "I want to feel your flesh enrapture me, and live the politics of ecstacy"
Sea of Possibilties-
Not directly about drugs but a drug influenced song. "come with me, sail the sea of possibilites, in liquid karma"
liquid LSD hahaha. Dealing with Karma "everything comes back to you in time"
Timothy Leary-
about the Galileo of Consciousness. The great Dr. Leary. This song shows that Leary wasn't about just using drugs but finding peace and harmony.
In Memory-
The Sorrowed Man-
The first time I took LSD, two to three years ago, I played this song when I got home, it was beautiful. Definately a song about being at one when on LSD.
The Politics of Ecstacy-
The Seven Tongues of God-
yet another LSD influenced song, and Leary influenced obviously. "programmed to desecrate the pretensions in your mind" what chemical do you think Warrel is talking about. One of my Fav Nevermore songs.
This Sacrament-
A psychedelic anthem in my book, I think if you don't realize this song as a drug song then you should really look at it because it is not that hard to understand. "lucy in the sky with diamond eyes, Long since dark" A sacrament is a visible form of invisible grace, make of that what you will hahahaha.
I am sick of writing so much, now I am just going to list off songs. If you have any questions just ask.
Lost

Dreaming Neon Black
Beyond Within- "Can I lift you up into the dreaming, Trip surreal"
Lotus Eaters- A term that is used for people who use LSD.
Dead Heart in a Dead World-
Narcosynthesis
We Disintegrate
Inside Four Walls
Evolution 169
The Heart Collecto
Engines of Hate

any question on why any particular song just ask and I will explain
